-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Captain, I've been doing some preliminary research on some of the debris collected from the former Jem'Hadar cruisers. It's all routine Dominion parts and technology. I'd like to recommend a more extensive salvage operation to retrieve as much wreckage as possible.

 

Jem'Hadar cruisers, like all starships, require maintenance at some time or another. The Dominion has tremendous resources at it's disposal, but it is possible the renegades do not. If that's true, they have to keep their ships running and repaired somehow. They either steal materials by making raids on the Dominion, Semil can provide some insight into this; they manufacture their own, or purchase or steal from other cultures in the Gamma Quadrant. A lack of materials may be why the cruisers were not able to mount an effective attack on the station.

 

Examination of the debris may yield evidence of materials that are not regularly aboard standard Dominion craft. If any is found, we may be able to trace it back to the owners, if the Jem'Hadar left them alive. And if we find the owners, that can increase our chances of finding the renegades.

 

It has been some time since the ships were destroyed, however since the fleet has arrived, most of the debris should be able to be salvaged in two days at the most, and this might yield some more information.
