Introduction
The Dominion of Light, or the Dominion is a member of The Federation.
They are a peaceful nation concentrating on science and are lead by their nation's High Primarch.
Though in practice most of the power belongs to The Council of Primarchs, and the High Primarch is merely the figurehead.
The Dominion supplies Whiterapids with relatively advanced technology and personnel.
History
Subfactions
The Dominion has two primary factions inside it. The Literalists and The Figurativists.
Both factions stem from a division in interpretation of a single sentence.
"We have found the light, and have risen to it’s ranks. All that the light touches, is now within our dominion." -The Moth Messiah
It was the Final Message of His Final Lesson.
Figurativists
The Figurativists are the current ruling faction, they see the words of The Moth Messiah as more figurative rather than literal. They are a pacifistic faction that wishes to take things calmly.
Literalists
The literalists see The Messiah's words as literal, specifically "All that the light touches, is within our dominion." They are very expansionist, perhaps even more so than the Draconic Empire due to their zealotry. Of note is the fact that most people are very uncomfortable with blind zealotry due to how it almost killed the Dominion before it was born Due to that it is a very small faction as far as numbers go, but due to their dedication, the members often make it to high ranks, including the council of Primarchs.
Faction Relations
SolGov
The Dominion and SolGov have a relaxed relationship, with SolGov merely appearing one day asking if The Dominion wanted to join The Federation. The Pacifistic Dominion accepted with very little hassle, and is nowadays the main explorer of The Federation and the second most technologically advanced faction. SolGov doesn't mind The Dominion that much due to how unambitious they are, excluding the Literalists of course.
Draconic Empire
The relations between The Empire and Dominion have been a mess from day one. The two factions are polar opposite, Pacifist and Militarist, Expansionist and Stagnant. Even their cultures are polar opposites with people of The Empire being told to be loyal to the government, while the Dominion is very critical of authority. The Empire believes The Dominion to be arrogant weaklings, while the Dominion thinks of the Empire as savage brutes, as such a shadow war is not a surprise to anyone involved.
NanoTrasen
NanoTrasen has solid relations with the Dominion, as one side always needs tech and the other more industrial capacity. This is a very lucrative alliance for both and as such the factions are very intertwined. Due to their good connections to both sides NanoTrasen works as a mediator between the Dominion and The Draconic Empire.
Tortugan Raiders
While The Dominion has no reason to visit the Sion cluster itself, most of their exploration is in the Dark Sector. Due to this they have little to no engagements with the primary pirates, but find their ships under attack after attack from The Great Khan. The Great Khan doesn't think much of the lightly armed and defended exploration vessels, being only easy pray to it.
Syndicate
The Syndicate and Dominion do not really have any personal quarrel with each other, the only reason the dominion fights them is due to being part of The Federation and by extension Whiterapids. Due to that and The Syndicate being aware of how precarious their position in human civilization is, The Syndicate is attempting to curry favour with The Dominion. The single biggest hurdle to said currying is The Dominion disliking The Syndicates attempts to do the same with The Draconic Empire.
