It seems, as we discussed earlier, that Attero Dominatus will have to take a break while the Dominion War is raging.

I've given this some thought, and it seems like we can do one of two things: Either we can go along with it and have the Dominatus, the AGC, and the DCP sign a treaty that basically states that the Tyranny can only expand into a few stated uninhabited (and practically worthless) sectors of the First Gigaquadrant, or we can ask Xho to set the Dominion War one year after the end of Attero Dominatus.

The first option would effectively castrate the Tyranny and create a scenario where they'd constantly be tempted to break the treaty and risk having all of the Fist Gigaquadrant powers declaring war on it to speed up its recovery. They'd probably aggressively pursue powers like the FPC and the Drodo to undermine their own efforts of reconstruction and ruin their diplomatic standing (which includes attempting to tare down the Katar Sector Alliance). However, this cold war would likely go on for a year, which is how long the War of the Ages took. Also, in the latter stages of the Dominion War, the AGC and DCP will likely be in tatters and unable to enforce the treaty. That spells our doom.

The second option would be very much more desirable, especially to me, because we could finish our fiction in peace without having the massive Dominion War looming in the background. That, and my planned fiction with Drodo and the Katar Sector is not utterly ruined. Having it a year later will also allow all of our fictions (though mine would still make themselves as small as possible) to recover from the wars they're currently involved in and able to contribute fully to the Dominion War instead of shying away from it.

Want to talk to Xho about it? The two wars would be "happening" at the same time, but happen in canon about a year apart.
