A new Alternate Trek verse thread
Cause the five or six we got are not enough!
Ok, had a random idea this morning, thought I would share it.
What if the attempt by Admiral Leyton and others to seize control on Earth as seen on the DS9 eps 'Homefront' and 'Paradise Lost' was successful? For those of you not familar with the episodes, Sisko and Odo return to SF HQ to get their security measures ready for possible Changeling infiltration. While there, there is what appears to be sabotage of the Planetary power grid, which leads to martial law being declared on Earth. Eventually it is discovered that this attack was planned and carried out by StarFleet officers and cadets, who fear that the FED isn't up to the challenge war with the Dominion is going to be. The martial law ends and Leyton resigns.
But what if it had worked? Would the FED have slowly become a military dictatorship (like the Cardassians), or would it have been ripe for Dominion take-over?
Thoughts?
