As a Gamma Quadrant ship, the Battleship isn't native to the quadrant where most of the game's action takes place. However, with Ultimatum still an easy, seedable way to connect to the Alpha Quadrant, nativity shouldn't be much of a concern. Not to mention it's also universal, so it can be downloaded with Spacedoor. (And just imagine using more than one of them!)
The ship carries heavy staffing requirements of four personnel, two of which must be White-addicted Jem'Hadar. But this proves to be much more a blessing than a curse. That Ketracel-White icon is a special staffing icon, meaning you can use Crew Reassignment to allow your Jem'Hadar to report directly to the ship! Now the best Gamma Jem'Hadar may report directly to the Alpha Quadrant, and vice versa, to this roving Jem'Hadar "outpost."
Combos:
Dominion Battleship + Engage Shuttle Operations: Dominion: Increase your effective RANGE to an astounding total of 16 by first moving the Battleship, then loading your crew onto a carried Attack Ship and launching it.
Dominion Battleship + Crew Reassignment: Now "reporting on the fly" isn't just limited to replacing Young Jem'Hadar you grew in a Birthing Chamber.
