As the planetary starbase on Trelka V was heavily defended and assigned a garrison of ten thousand troops, Martok had no expectations of destroying or capturing the base, which would have required the firepower of half of the Ninth Fleet. However, Martok was confident of being able to keep the Dominion off balance by quickly striking one target, then moving on to the next. He planned further attacks on targets increasingly deeper in Cardassian territory, including the Manora shipyards, the Jem'Hadar breeding facility on Sheva II, and the supply depot in the Borias Cluster. Martok would take a squadron of five Klingon Birds-of-Prey, entering Cardassian space under cloak, as he considered K't'inga-class and Vor'cha-class cruisers to be too slow and unwieldy for such a mission.

| - As the planetary starbase on Trelka V was heavily defended and assigned a garrison of ten thousand troops, Martok had no expectations of destroying or capturing the base, which would have required the firepower of half of the Ninth Fleet. However, Martok was confident of being able to keep the Dominion off balance by quickly striking one target, then moving on to the next. He planned further attacks on targets increasingly deeper in Cardassian territory, including the Manora shipyards, the Jem'Hadar breeding facility on Sheva II, and the supply depot in the Borias Cluster. Martok would take a squadron of five Klingon Birds-of-Prey, entering Cardassian space under cloak, as he considered K't'inga-class and Vor'cha-class cruisers to be too slow and unwieldy for such a mission. Starfleet Captain Benjamin Sisko, who likened Martok's plan to cavalry raids performed by troops on Earth centuries earlier, offered to join Martok in the USS Defiant (which was also equipped with a cloaking device), but instead Martok suggested that Defiant and a dozen other Starfleet ships wait for when the Klingon squadron returned, in case Dominion forces were pursuing them.
