Is there any info on the fate of the Dominion's AQ fleet after the surrender? Was it allowed to return to the GQ via the wormhole? Or perhaps it was turned over to the Alliance as war reperations?

I think they were sent to the gamma quadrant via the Bajoran wormhole.

Idiotic Federation. They should have disarmed the Jem Hadar and shipped them back on freighters.

Pathetic indeed, if this was the case. Let the biggest force ever to challenge you keep its armed fleet... I don't think even the feddies are that dumb.

I'm of the opinion that the remaining Dominion fleet should have been split up amongst the Alliance. That would among other things allow the Feds to research the Dominion's long range transporter. If they could integrate the Dominion ships into their own fleets it would also make up for some of their losses until newly built ships were available.

*Edited for spelling*

@ Jon: Err... Isn't most of the Dominion intact anyway?

Yeah I was just being dumb, again. (I'm Northern)

I recall now how the war ended, not by conquest, to say the least. I figure they let them all run on home through the wormhole, indeed.

The Dominion DID give up. The US didn't conquer Germany when it won the war, but it disarmed them anyway.

My thinking at first, indeed. But this is the UFP we're talking about...

The US helped West Germany to rebuild it's military after the war IIRC.

Well, we should also consider the Klingon and Romulan goals. It's pointed out in the last series that the Romulans and the Feddies remain the only two viable AQ powers after the war. The way I see it, the Feddies could do one of the two things:

1) Split up the Dominion fleet between the Allies, and hope that the Federation engineers are better at reverse engineering Dominion, Cardassian, and Breen technologies than the Romulans are, or

2) send everyone packing back to their respective territory and get ready to hash things out with the Romulans.

I could see the logic in not taking the Dominion Fleet as war reparations. Rather than give a possible strategic advantage to the Romulans(after all, what happens if Romulan and Dominion technology are more easily incorporated than Federation and Dominion tech?), they choose to keep the familiar enemy, instead.

The finale of DS9 's final episode shows Martok, Ross, and Sisko gazing out over the Promenade as the Dominion's AQ fleet enters the wormhole (and on a side note, Sisko saying that for the first time in 2 1/2 years, there are no Jem'Hadar ships in thr AQ, something that Ross says is worth drinking towards, thereby getting Martok in even greater spirits after the bloodwine incident on Cardassia).

Actually that is from the book.

Oops. I meant the novelization of the the DS9 finale; sorry, this is what happens when I don't think about the wording of a post or have my mind on other things.

Because West Germany was allied with them.
Note that they didn't help EAST germany, which was communist.

The Dominion would be like east germany.

Japan, actually, which was disarmed. Of course, the treaty also specified that the U.S. was responsible for their defense, so even that's not an exact analogue.
