History: Reports that the Dominion was developing a new class of extreme size and power have circulated for some time, but only with the loss of the USS Valiant was this rumour confirmed. The Valiant survivors revealed that the battleship was even larger than had been thought - twice the size of a Galaxy class starship and three times the strength. Had the ship been put into service it would have been a major threat to the Allies; although he was technically acting against orders, the Valiant's captain decided that he had to make an attempt to destroy the ship before it could enter service.
 
The [[USS Valiant]] located a potential weak spot on the battleship and managed to get close enough to attack it, but although the attack was successful the enemy ship survived and continued to return fire. The Valiant was destroyed during this action with most of her crew lost, but a few survivors managed to make it back to Federation space in escape pods. It is much stronger than a [[Dominion Battlecruiser]] or [[Dominion Attack Ship]].

A Dominion battleship is a large warship built by the Dominion.

Specifications

A Dominion battleship is approximately twice the size of a Federation Galaxy-class starship, making it roughly 1200m in length. It is also approximately three times as powerful as the Galaxy-class, making it one of the most formidable warships ever seen in Star Trek.[1]

The ship's armament includes phased polaron beams and torpedoes of an unspecified design.

Achilles' Heel?

According to a Federation probe, the battleship's antimatter storage tanks are held in place by braces made of "viterium", a material that decomposes when exposed to "delta radiation". The USS Valiant attempted to exploit this weakness to destroy a Dominion battleship, but their improvised "delta radiation" torpedo had no effect.[2]
