The Federation fleet meets up a bigger fleet of Dominion and Cardassians ships. The two fleets stand face-to-face waiting for the first one to make their move.

I found this shot to be impressive for a TV budget. Thanks to CGI they were able to pull this shot off, very cool shot. David Bell’s music works well here.

This is a close up view of a Cardassian warship. Sisko’s knows the fleet is made up of both Cardassians and Dominions. He will use this to his advantage.

Look at how dense the Dominion fleet is. They stay in their positions and wait for the Federation ships to attempt to break through their lines.

This is where the Federation fighter ships pull up in front of the larger ships, holding their position. This is an interesting tactic, using your smaller ships as the first offensive weapons. Think of these tiny fighters like the X-wings on Star Wars.

We focus in on Sisko’s ship the Defiant. Sisko begins his battle plan.

Sisko commands his fighter ships to attack all Cardassians only, ignoring the Dominion ships. The Federation fleet shall hold their position, as the smaller fighter do their jobs.

The First wave of Fighter ships swoop down on the larger Cardassians vessels. This shot is simply impressive as well. Small fighters have always played bigger parts in Star Wars, and it’s cool to see them in action here.
______________________________________________

The Enemy ships take a great deal of damage from the small, but powerful fighters. Some Cardassians ships are destroyed by the wave after wave of fighter ships. They still don’t move from their Position yet.

The title of the show comes up as more fighters come down firing on their targets.

Both fleets stand their ground As more and more Cardassians ships are damaged or destroyed. Who will make the first move?
