I think it’s really fertile ground for storytelling. TNG’s The Wounded with Captain Maxwell and O’Brien was fantastic, but we’ve never really had any Starfleet main characters really grapple with the aftermath of a war. DS9 certainly showed us the toll it takes during a conflict, but not so much the years afterwards.
How far will Starfleet officers go to avert a war now that they’ve had to suffer through one?
We saw O’Brien’s anger and resentment towards the ‘Cardis’ in TNG, but that wa more to establish the Cardassians as a longer standing threat.
