Parallel universe

A **parallel universe**, or **alternate universe**, is a universe that exists separate and parallel to our own universe. A parallel universe might be on a separate dimensional plane and could be governed by different laws of physics. They could be within subspace or be a quantum reality.

## Parallel universes

* The mirror universe is one of the best known alternate universes due to the multiple contacts between beings from this universe and the 'mirror universe'. Our universe first became aware of this other universe in 2267. Contact between the two universes has led to significant changes in the mirror universe.
* Another quantum reality existed where the Dominion won the Dominion War. The point of divergence was Operation Return where the USS *Defiant* failed to prevent the Dominion's reinforcements from entering the Alpha Quadrant and was destroyed in the Bajoran wormhole.

The **Prophets** was the name given by the Bajorans to the non-corporeal, non-linear beings that resided in the Bajoran wormhole (referred to as the Celestial Temple by the Bajorans). The Bajorans saw the Prophets as gods, while other species referred to them simply as the "wormhole aliens".

At some point the Prophets banished some of their number from the Celestial Temple, imprisoning most within the Fire Caves of Bajor and this group became known as the Pah-wraiths.

Over a 10,000 year period then sent orbs to Bajor, which became the most valued artefacts in Bajoran religion.

A Prophet travelled to Earth in 2331 and made sure of the birth of Benjamin Sisko. Sisko would later discover the Bajoran wormhole and be named the Emissary of the Prophets by the Bajorans.

In 2374, the Prophets made an entire fleet of Dominion warships disappear within the wormhole as they made their transit from the Gamma Quadrant to the Alpha Quadrant. It was rumoured that they were also blocking subsequent attempts by the Dominion from reinforcing their forces in the Alpha Quadrant.

## Alternate reality

Non-aggression pact

A **non-aggression pact** is a treaty between two or more governments agreeing to not engage in open warfare against each other.

In late 2373, after the Cardassian Union joined the Dominion the Dominion made significant political inroad into the Alpha Quadrant by signing several non-aggression pacts. The Tholians, Miradorns, Bajorans and the Romulan Star Empire were among the governments to sign these treaties. This basically left only the Federation and Klingon Empire to openly oppose the Dominion's actions in the quadrant.

The Romulan Star Empire would break their non-aggression pact with the Dominion in mid-2374. After discovering evidence that the Dominion was planning an invasion of the Star Empire and the assassination of Senator Vreenak, which they blamed the Dominion for. The evidence was in fact fake and the death of Vreenak was due to a bomb planted by the Cardassian Garak in a plot to draw the Romulans into the war on the Federation's side.

Primary hull

The **primary hull**, also known as the **main section**, **saucer section**, was a major component of the overall hull structure on Federation starships. The primary hull was usually located above and forward of the secondary hull, sometimes connected via a interconnecting neck.

The primary hull usually contained some of the most important areas on the ship, such as the bridge, computer core and crew quarters. The warp core was typically located in the secondary hull, away from these areas. In some designs in case of a mishap the primary hull can separate from the secondary section.

Secondary hull

The **secondary hull** (also known as the **engineering hull**, the **engineering section** or the **stardrive section**) was a major component of the overall hull structure on Federation starships.

The secondary hull was usually the location for the vessel main power generating unit, such as a warp core, and the ship's main engineering. This also meant that it was common for the ship's warp nacelles to be connected to the secondary hull. Due to the dangers of a mishap with the warp core many Starfleet designs were able separate their primary hull from the secondary hull.
