JemHadar

The Jem'Hadar are a genetically engineered species, created by the Founders in order to protect them. The Jem'Hadar homeworld is Jh'Niv, located in the Tel Cynar Sector. It is encoded into their genes, that the Founders are their "Gods", and that they have to abide by their laws. They are the main, and most feared, soldiers in the Dominion business empire. They are extremely attentive and highly intelligent,and take pleasure in fighting the enemies of the Dominion. In fact they look forward to any battle, and this makes them the most feared soldiers of the Dominion.

Also, if they ever fail in a mission, they take their own lives in shame. The Jem'Hadar have reptilian backgrounds and have the quality of cammoflage thanks to their descendents. They are capable of hiding themselves against visual detection. The Jem'Hadar prefer to use hand to hand weapons in combat. The Jem'Hadar never speak their language to outsiders, this is a precautionary meassure to safeguard their self distruct commands. In order to keep their soldiers in submission the Founders have programmed the Jem'Hadar to lack a certain enzyme, which they are addicted to from their birth. They must have this enzyme, called Ketracel White, or they will get ill, and eventually die. Also, to keep the Jem'Hadar from rebelling, there are no women of the species, so natural procreation is impossible. The Jem'Hadar are often commanded by a Vorta , and they find themselves dominated by them.
