However, he was killed by Mogh before he could do so. Even so, the incident drew the House of Duras to Memory Omega's attention.

* CompellingVoice: In ''Rise Like Lions'', Memory Omega's Vulcan sleeper agents, spread throughout the Alliance, use their psychic powers to influence their Cardassian and Klingon masters. Their coordinated assault on billions of Cardassians comes to be known as the Red Hour:
** Taurik excarbates Regent Martok's distrust of the Cardassians so that he refuses to provide the Obsidian Order with the Romulan cloaking device captured by Captain Kurn, in direct contravention of the Articles of the Alliance. Martok threatens the Cardassian ambassador Trekal Darhe'el and tells him that he won't give Supreme Legate Dukat the cloaking device under any circumstances.
** T'Lana forces Damar to shoot Dukat in the back of the head in the middle of Dukat's public address to the entire Cardassian Union.
** The Obsidian Order agent Solena launches missiles containing a metagenic pathogen, capable of destroying all life on the target planet, at 48 Cardassian-controlled planets.
** The crews of dozens of ships mutiny and begin slaughtering each other, resulting in the destruction of the Seventh Order fleet before it can retake Bajor.
** Several months after the Red Hour, another psychic attack is launched on the Klingons, which also involves incidents of extreme violence and mutinies. However, it doesn't destabilize the Empire in the same way because Regent Klag acts quickly. He follows Damar's example and [[ThePurge has all slaves in Klingon space put to death]].

* DoomsdayDevice:
** In "Ill Winds", the Penemu, a subject race of the Klingon Empire, have developed a weapon that, when detonated within the atmosphere of a Class M planet, can initiate a fusion reaction that burns away oxygen and other gases to create a "massive global fireball." The test of the prototype weapon on Donatu V was considered only partially successful, though the reaction was still sufficient to eradicate more than 97% of the planet's population. The ''Constellation'' eventually tracks the weapon to the Strelluf system. When it becomes apparent that they will be unable to capture the weapon, Commodore April crashes the critically damaged ''Indomitable'' into the Strelluf facility, destroying it.
** In "Homecoming", the Romulans has developed a thalaron bomb for the Alliance. Upon detonation, the bomb will transform all of the natural ambient gamma radiation on the target planet into thalaron radiation. The vast majority of the population will die in minutes while the remainder will be dead within a week. The Romulan Praetor Hiren plans to use the bomb against the Alliance so that his people will no longer be under their thumb. However, the Alliance betrays him before he can betray them and deploy the weapon on Romulus. Only 49,998 Romulans survive the destruction of their planet. After Hiren cedes authority, they fall under the command of Calhoun and the ''Excalibur''.
** In ''Rise Like Lions'', the Obsidian Order's bioweapons lab has developed a metagenic pathogen which will self-replicate and feed off every bit of DNA and organic matter when released into a planet's atmosphere, exterminating all life within days.
** Also in ''Rise Like Lions'', the [[spoiler:Ferengi]] recognize the rebellion's captured territorial possessions as a sovereign state and offer them supplies and safe passage. Regent Klag orders the [[StarKilling destruction of their sun]] with a warp capable trilithium warhead launched from the ''Ya'Vang'', wiping out the [[spoiler:Ferengi]] within minutes. Klag threatens to use more warheads to destroy all other planets that have given the rebels safe harbor if they don't surrender within three days. Before the deadline, the Memory Omega ally Duras becomes Regent [[KlingonPromotion by killing Klag]]. He rescinds the order and offers the rebels a ceasefire. However, the ''Ya'Vang'''s captain Krona considers Duras' decision weak and cowardly and takes command of a renegade fleet. He intends to destroy Bajor's sun B'hava'el in retaliation for the Bajorans' [[BalkanizeMe secession from the Alliance]]. After a costly battle, the rebels manage to stop his fleet and save Bajor.

By forging an alliance with the Klingons and [[SpacePirates Orion pirates]], he intends to make it official by seceding from the Terran Empire and turning the Reach into his own private fiefdom. However, his plan fails as Vanguard is destroyed by the release of the Shedai Wanderer.

*** Bajor secedes from the Alliance after Iliana Ghemor becomes the Emissary and the consequent revival of their ancient religion. Supreme Legate Dukat sends the Cardassian Ninth Order to the B'hava'el system in order to reconquer the planet. If necessary, Dukat intends to occupy Bajor for decades. Although Terok Nor and more than half the Terran Rebellion fleet is destroyed in the Battle of Bajor, it proves to be a PyrrhicVictory for the Cardassians as only four Ninth Order warships and several support ships survived. Gul Domal intends to wait until the Seventh Order arrives to conquer Bajor. However, both fleets are devastated by the madness and chaos resulting from Vulcan sleeper agents forcing billions of Cardassians to turn on each other.
*** After Klag becomes Regent, he announces to the Klingon High Command that he intends to conquer the Cardassia Union as part of his plan to place all of known space under Klingon control. However, Damar realizes what he is planning due to increased ship movements near the Klingon-Cardassian border. Rather than wait to be attacked, the Cardassians launch a preemptive strike on Raknal Station, thereby dissolving the Alliance. Most of the Cardassian fleet is destroyed in the battle. The Klingons, now under the more stable leadership of Regent Duras, and the Cardassians eventually reach an uneasy peace but the Alliance is not restored.
