The Dominion is an expansionist, militaristic human organization[1] bent on the subjugation of those outside their control.[2]
Overview[]
The Dominion is based in a kingdom located to the north of Fort Tarsis,[3] The Dominion believe the way to survival is "peace through force," and to keep people on a short leash in terms of freedom. The Dominion will willingly carry out heinous acts in pursuit of their goals,[4] even if they have to dehumanize their own people.
History[]
When General Helena Tarsis died, the Legion of Dawn split into three factions. The Dominion was one of these three, alongside the Sentinels and Freelancers.[5] The Dominion is an ancient enemy of the Freelancers, whom they are philosophically opposed to.[6] They have always been a threat to Fort Tarsis,[7] and in the present day, they remain in conflict with the Freelancers.[8] Like the Freelancers, the Dominion has access to Javelins.[2] Notably, they designed the Storm Javelin, though it later fell into the hands of the Freelancers.[9]
The Dominion is attempting to use the Anthem of Creation as a weapon[8] in order to establish their rule[6] over the world.[10] To achieve this they seek to retrieve Shaper relics.[11] The Freelancers moved to stop them, as the Dominion's actions were putting everyone at risk.[3] They are responsible for the destruction of the city of Freemark when they attempted to control the Cenotaph, an ancient Shaper relic.[citation needed] After the battle, the Dominion temporarily disappeared from the sight of Fort Tarsis.[12]
