The looking glass war
A badly damaged starship arrives unannounced through the
wormhole. It is another U.S.S. Defiant, piloted by Curzon Dax.
Arriving from a parallel dimension, Curzon needs Odo's help to
prevent a war between the Federation and the Dominion. In his
dimension, the Dominion invaded and were turned back after heavy
losses and only after the Jem'Hadar had taken hostages,
including Sisko, Kira, and Bashir. With O'Brien's help, Curzon
searched many dimensions until he found one with Odo, because
the flashpoint that caused his war was Odo's murder. Sisko
denies Curzon's request. Curzon kidnaps Odo and escapes to his
dimension in the undamaged Defiant. Sisko and his crew repair
Curzon's defiant and follow Curzon for a confrontation with the
Jem'Hadar and themselves.
