Bajoran wormhole

The  is an artificial wormhole created by the Prophets. It is a shortcut from the Alpha to the Gamma Quadrant, covering a distance of 70,000 light years. Federation space station Deep Space 9 is located at its entrance in the Alpha Quadrant, and both wormhole and station played pivotal roles in the Dominion War.

To spiritual Bajorans the wormhole is known as the Celestial Temple.

 * : To convince the Vorta Loriss of her fleet's temporal displacement, Captain James Kurland discusses wormhole mechanics and shows data collected by USS Defiant. The Dominion has encountered wormholes before, Loriss states, but none moving objects across time, only space. She is not convinced.
 * : Using a small craft, the player travels through the wormhole to the Gamma Quadrant in order to contact the main body of the Dominion.
 * : Researcher A'dranna believes that the Iconian gateways on New Romulus and in the Jouret System present the same opportunities for the Romulan Republic that the wormhole did for Bajor.
