When in canon with the Dominon...

The Breen had installed one of their energy dampening weapons onto a Jem'hadar ship and were planning to retrofit the entire Dominion fleet, shouldn't Jem'hadar AND Cardassian ships be able to install the Breen consoles?
I know, I know...it would be too much fun if we could.

In-game, though? I don't see a severe reason why it shouldn't be able to be equipped.

No, because they aren't part of an alliance any more and the technology belongs to the Breen. Also I doubt Cardassian ships were part of the original agreement

There is no better cannon fodder in the Quadrent than a Klingon
IF that ship is the prototype, the first dominion ship to be outfitted with breen tech and considering the amount of work it takes to get it installed properly, it could of been the first in many if it had been taken into battle against Federation, Klingons and Romulans. something to show the Dominion leadership how effective such a weapon would be at first as to convince them that they should be on every Dominion ship in the fleet.
Problem is as fuffymoof mentioned, the ship was delivered to the struggling allied forces as Starfleet picked the dampening weapon apart and immediately gave their allies all the details on how to combat it. It meant that such an undertaking for the Dominion was ultimately useless.
So far they only installed on one Dominion attack ship and no gaurantees it would of ever worked because be never saw it in action.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Anyone else notice the typo in the description? They somehow misspelled Romulan, instead spelling it Klingon.
Funny... I thought the Jem'Hadar were more cannon fodder as they willingly threw themselves at the enemy. After all, their pre-battle ritual even says they are already dead, and must go into battle to reclaim their lives.
Anyways... the main reason the Federation and Klingons were able to adapt was because there was already one ship immune to the Breen Weapon. Martok's BoP. All because she had an unintended intermix ratio that negated the weapon's effects if I recall correctly.
Only the Klingons were immune because of the modification done to the IKS Ki'tang, the Federation and Romulans had to wait to get the weapon because their Warp Cores were incompatible with the modification.
The STO description though, says the Federation and Klingons were taken out of the fight until they found a way to adapt. It should say the 'Federation and Romulan forces', since the Klingons already had the required adaption and didn't have to wait at all.
It doesn't have to be a typo. The Klingons managed to counter the effects of the Breen weapon by pure chance. One ship's engineer just did something that worked; the Klingons had to make all the changes to all their other ships in the fleet as Martok explicitly stated he had ordered them to do.

Yeah there is. A human that can't live by the Prime Directive. Which is generally all of them. Which makes just about all Starfleet officers the best cannon fodder one can find. All you have to do is point them in the direction of your enemy and say, "They need moral guidance." Then sit back and watch as Starfleet starts to send ship after ship in that direction. Which makes Starfleet instant cannon fodder, and the plus side is, they'll volunteer to do it.

Starfleet officers explained perfectly.
The 'typo' part was a joke.
It's still inaccurate, though. If it was lore-accurate, it would have said Romulan. The Klingon fleet was the only one not incapacitated by the weapon, which is why they had to fight the war alone for a while.
