What's your current theory on end-game for the running FE storyline with the Iconians

Past FE's have brought in the Iconians as an upcoming player in the storyline, the Remen FE being the most blatant example of that. I don't know if we will get any storyline about the Iconians in "The 2800" This new FE seems to be one of those episodes you'd watch that breaks from the main storyline for a non-connected plot episode, filler, as it were. I could be wrong, maybe we will get Iconian stuff, but right now, it is not looking so.

In my video I recorded on Saturday, up on my channel on youtube, I proposed a theory about the Iconians, and what end-game for the Iconian arc may be.

My theory is this: What if it is the Iconians that come in, as the big savior of the galaxy, to wipe out the borg for everyone. It's been shown that they can take down a cube easily. I have a feeling the borg pose no threat for the Iconians. So what if they are the galaxy's savior, but at a price. What if the Federation, Klingons, et al must submit to the Iconians in some way. Even if its for them to be the ones in power. So a great cost paid, or a great debt owed, but the Iconians being the one that push back the borg, or stop them all together.

Heck, the Iconians could even side with one of the races, like the Klingons, to wipe out the borg AND the federation, and then that'd mean we'd be at war with the Iconians, or another race siding with the Iconians. But the main thing, is the Iconians being the ones that can take on the borg.

Just a theory, I have no idea if this is where they are going. But would be kind of cool, IMO. They seem to be very focused on the borg as a major threat, and we already know the Iconians are playing around in the background there, and are up to something.

    the iconians were the ones who freed the dominion from the wormhole perhaps?

    I really don't like the idea of 1 "big bad." The Iconians have their thing, the Dominion have there, the Borg and Undine there own, etc. STO shouldn't be a GI Joe cartoon where we're always fighting the same Cobra forces - with Cobra Commander secretly behind everything. There's plenty of room for plenty of foes in STO, IMO. I prefer a lot of plots and schemes rather then just one.

    I would say that the Federation and the Klingons will both be fighting each other and the Iconians. In another story line that makes absolutely no sense what so ever.

    Just like the 2800 coming through the worm hole. Sisko talked the prophets into stopping the fleet and saving Bajor. Now that Bajor joined the Fedration and is in a war with almost every species in the universe. While Sisko is in the worm hole they release them to attack the Federation and the Klingons. What did the Bajorans do to anger the prophets, it doesn't make sense.

    If it would have been the Dominion coming through to attack the Federation because they were weakened it would be believable.

    I can't believe CBS is allowing this junk. The explanation of the Galors is dumb too. They could have easily said that the Galors were found from the information from a dying Obsidian Order officer. From the secret base Rikers copy exposed when he stole the Defiant. They moved the base and the ships and fled when the Cardasians joined the Dominion. They had to run for their lives and hide because the Dominion wanted them for the attempted attack on the Founders home world.

    I don't know which is worse the writing or the CBS allowing it.

    You don´t ally yourself with "Demons".

    I´d like it if they would reveal a hidden relation ships between the Iconians and Fek´Ihri.
    Kind of like the Borg and Undine threat but for Klingons.
    The Klingon arc sure does need a good mastermind race. And some toothy zombie/beast/goblin Klinks aren´t cutting it IMHO.
