 This continues the story of the previous season finale "Call To Arms" taking us several months into the war, with the Dominion-Cardassian forces stationed at Deep Space Nine, and Sisko leading raiding party mission deep into Cardassian territory

Three months after the events of "Call to Arms", the Federation-Klingon alliance is badly losing the Dominion War.After hearing news that the Seventh Fleet was almost obliterated, Captain Benjamin Sisko and his command crew are assigned to pilot a captured Jem'Hadar attack ship into Dominion/Cardassian territory and destroy a valuable stockpile of Ketracel White.This would kill many of the Dominion's Jem'Hadar foot soldiers.
