Introduction[edit | edit source]
The Dominion of Light are the majority group of mothpeople and ethereals in the federation. The Dominion is their own governing body in their home system in Sector 5 and takes the form of a theocratic republic surrounding their religious icon “The Torch”. They act as a recycler and major trade group within the Federation. Many salvaged ships, nuclear waste, and other difficult-to-deal-with materials are traded to them to turn into useful materials to trade back to the Federation.
History[edit | edit source]
The Dominion of Light and the religion they follow, both predate human and mothperson written history. The mothpeople and ethereals are believed to have lived far longer than most sapient species and were only held back by their, relatively, desolate homeworld. A nearly tidally locked planet called, in Moffic, Jagåle. This planet is mostly a rocky desertscape in which half the surface sees the sun for half the year and doesn’t see it for the other half. This left the mothpeople and ethereals to roam their planet, severely slowing down their progress as a civilization.
Guiding Hands[edit | edit source]
It’s thought that the ethereals provided much of the needed support in order to allow the mothpeople to settle their own planet and develop the technology required to send their people into orbit. Since then, the mothpeople and ethereals have become an entirely space faring species, opting to build stations, generational ships. and even megastructures to support their civilization and provide a much safer place for their people to live their lives.
Mega-infrastructure[edit | edit source]
They’ve currently built several mega-structures which are always under expansion and construction. The most impressive one by far is the one around their home world of Jagåle. It’s built as a nearly complete ring around their home planet and houses a majority of their population. They have other stations around the Dominion system and most importantly, a Dyson sphere-like structure used to harvest energy from their home system's star, an impressive feat that’s yet to be accomplished by any other major organization or species.
Contact[edit | edit source]
First contact with the Dominion of Light was remarkably peaceful, the negotiations of their Non-Aggression Pact and trade agreements went swiftly and reasonably. Since joining the Federation, the Dominion stands as humanity’s most peaceful neighbor in the greater galaxy.
Relations[edit | edit source]
The Dominion is non-confrontationalist, not to say they won’t defend themselves should it be required but their civilization has little more than is necessary to protect themselves and their territory. They are frequently antagonized by independent pirate vessels and targeted by opportunistic Syndicate forces.
Disagreements[edit | edit source]
Dominion doctrine fundamentally disagrees with Draconian philosophy and refuses expansionism if it encroaches upon another species’ territory. This has led to much political debate between the two, bordering on violence. The Federation makes much effort to settle disagreements with compromises, though unless they settle their own differences there may be a violent conflict in the near future.
