Badlands

Startrek Voyager/Deep Space Nine The Badlands I began reading this novel on October 22, 2012. I completed it on October 28, 2012. It was written by 
Susan Wright. It had 256 pages in it.

This novel took place prior to the Caretaker. Chakotay commanded the Selva.
Marquis lived in the Terik of Belt on the edge of the edge of the badlands.
The Plasma Storms were the cause of them stopping to mine in the area.
Seska was on the Selva, and she was Chakotay's number One and his lover.
Michael Eddington, the new security chief on DS9 and smuggled torpedo's when available

Seska was betraying her crew. The Cardassians were setting a trap for the Marquis. Seska was tired of keeping secrets and actually wanted the assignment to end. A plasma storm hit the Selva. 

The Badlands were cursed and a plasma storm hit them. Torres was angry they couldn't fight the Cardassians. Tuvok had 3 weeks left on the Selva, then would return to Voyager.

There was a brief truce between the Federation and the Cardassians during the Dominion war. Seska was communicated with her Cardassian friends to let her ship go in. She knew Tuvok was a Starfleet spy. One third of Chakotay's crew was sick with Tetryon poisoning.

They destroyed Opac Nor Station. Seska was the one who caused the issue with the impulse drive that almost destroyed the ship. After a fight with the Cardassians the Marquis were in the Badlands and got intercepted by an unknown entity. Some joined the Marquis when the Cardassians took their homes. 

Voyager was on its maiden voyage through the badlands to intercept the Marquis and get Tuvok back. The doctor knew Paris before this. The doctor annoyed Janeway by turning his back on her. Staadi, a Betazed, befriended Tom, but had to block the ability to read his thoughts. Staadi took Tom to the holodeck to a Voyager simulation so that he could practice his flying.

The Cardassians were blaming the Marquis for the destruction of Opek Nor. A plasma storm interrupted the warp core momentary. They received a distress call from the Vetar, a Cardassian warship. The distress call was from Gul Evok. They were intercepted by a subspace shockwave. 

The Vetar had half as many crew members than it could support. Paris went to help in the transporter room, but the friction between him and First Officer Cavit, caused Cavit to send him to sickbay for a lesser assignment

The crew of Vetar were aboard Voyager because their ship got radiation poisoning. Gul Evek just told Janeway about the destruction of Opek Nor and that they destroyed the Selva.  Tom started talking with Evek

Evek left a chip by Paris. Paris got the computer to scan Evek's quarters, when he didn't answer the door. The computer couldn't find him. Paris alerted Janeway. Evek was dead. None of his crew or Dukot seemed sorrowed by his death. Dukot told Janeway to destroy the chip Evek left for Paris to find. 

Kim began to wonder why everyone was so mean to Tom. Voyager got tossed to the Delta Quadrant. Sisko would resign his Starfleet position if he couldn't speak the truth on behalf of the prophets. Martok was a changeling. 

The Federation and Cardassians and Klingons were united in dealing with the Dominion War. Odo saw the last of the people who fought the Marquis off, but didn't celebrate with the rest of the crew. The first and last time he celebrated was a week ago, since then the baby changeling that Quark sold him died and was absorbed by him giving his changing ability back. Since the Dominion War began the Station was insulated with a material that prevented Odo from slipping through the structure of the station.

Bashir was a changeling. Odo was going to try to do something about the Badland Curse with Dax and Obrien. They were going to look for Changeling and bring them to DSN so they can live out of the Tetryon Radiation. Bashir was captured by the Gem Hader. Martok was there as well, and injured.

AQS stands for artificial quantum singularity. They found a Romulan ship.
There was huge mistrust issues with Romulan as usual. Bashir was testing Odo for neutrino poisoning and himself as well. Odo was infected, but could be treated.

A Jem-Hader ship came out of the wormhole and just passed the station. The Jem-Hader were going to attack the Alpha Quadrant along side of the Cardassians. Odo is sick.

The Romulans haven't sealed important areas of their ship from changelings.
The Dominion was the prime target of the Romulans. The Dominion planned on rupturing a quantum singularity is the badlands. The AQS would explode soon and wipe out life in that section of space if they couldn't stop it

Weyhon was taking orders from the founders. The Jem Hader were following Weyhon blindly. The Romulans captured a bit of the AQS and were going to use it against the Dominion. The wanted to fire it in the wormhole and destroy all life between their and a million kilometers. The Jem Hader neared the Romulans. Their ships had the Romulans surrounded.

The AQS was traveling. Sisko was using the Romulans folding space transporter They were going to transport the AQS outside the universe to unharmed any civilization. They were successful moving the AQS.
