After weeks of unproductive talks with the new Bajoran Kai, Ungtae, Dominion officials at last resolved to attempt to make overtures towards negotiating with the Pah-wraiths, citing Kai Ungtae’s continued stalling as a sign that the Bajorans are unwilling to reach any real agreement which would result in the Dominion reopening the wormhole.
Although the Founder was unable to reach a firm agreement with the Pah-wraiths prior to the Dominion’s expulsion from Bajoran soil, she did manage to communicate the Dominion’s wish to access the wormhole and received a tentative agreement to provide assistance from the Pah-wraiths.
Because the Bajoran government is not only dominated by Prophet worshippers but the chief executive and chief cleric are embodied in the same position, Kai, members of the Pah-wraith cult have been all but excluded from Bajoran society for centuries.
