  I would think the romulans would have some questions.

  Hey Starfleet, you developed that cloak awfully fast even though you weren’t supposed to be researching it until five days ago.

  The alliance with the Romulans during the war was tenuous at best. They never could have swung that. At minimum they would have needed to share the tech.

  That’s a really good point, why didn’t they use it?

    I know it wasn’t, but in my head I always figured this was the cloak of the cloaked minefield in front of the wormhole. Then the dominion couldn’t just fire a torpedo and blow up the grid. That made the minefield make more sense to me.

      The minefield works because of the cloaked and the self replicating mines. You blow up 100, the 100 nearest replicate invisibly to reform the “net.”

      They really should just build endless arrays of these around the station. Just deactivate them when not in battle, and publish “clear lanes.”

      Wartime? Mines rearrange themselves, then enable. No more clear lanes.

        Yea the only thing that didn’t satisfy me with the self replicating is the “they can just… keep replacing themselves? Man replicators really are broken” and how fast is this replication? Like if the dominion wanted to send 1,000 ships through and it could only take out 5-10 before exhausting why not just send the ships through.

        But if the mines were phased and could detonate when the big ships are through, or even inside the big ships, they’d think twice. Again, just weird head canon I had to explain the minefields effectiveness in the show haha

        That’s what the Klingons were doing around Bajor. Just seeing up cloaked minutes that can be activated when they’re not longer neutral.

        Kind of cowardly of the Klingons to rob their enemy of a chance at honor though.
