The Starforge Dominion is a militaristic, brutal society driven solely by the personal pursuit of power, ruled over by an indomitable tyrant and the most feared human in the Galaxy, the Lord Commander. Starforge citizens live and work in fear not on a lush homeworld but a monstrous, mechanical dyson sphere siphoning energy from the Sun. In the Dominion, ambition and cunning are the primary forms of currency, key in a world where to advance is to kill your superiors. One must be exceptionally cunning as the penalty for discovery is death by public execution at the hands of the Inquisition, a daily occurrence. In the Dominion, only the most intelligent and cruelest individuals gain power, guaranteeing dominance over the worlds and people they conquer.
