In the Dimension 642490, the Axis Powers won the Second World War by developing the Atom Bomb first and using it against London. 400 years later, Axis Earth is a dominiant military power that has conquored the Vulcans, Andorians, even the Romulans. They are allied to the Cardassians but are in conflict with the Klingons. The Axis developed trans-dimensional travel and sent the Scharnhorst into our dimension where they have established a base of operations in the F'asa Sector of the Delta Quadrant.

The Scharnhorst is a Reich class battlecruiser. Named after Gerhard Johann David von Scharnhorst, 1755 – 1813, a Prussian general. There have been two noted warships with the same name, one in each of the two earlier world wars. The Scharnhorst is commanded by Kapitän zur Weltraum Kurt Metterhausen.

At this point the majority of the Scharnhorst's interaction has been with the USS Amon-Re-A as they are based in a distant part of the sector from the bulk of the fleet's operations.
