The Legion: Led by council member; Legatus; Darth Aspirus, is the head of the Dominion Legion. It is the Legion's duty to field, and control Sith looking to join the war effort. Working directly alongside the Dominion Imperator whom leads our Military Branch, the Legion is the Sith arm of our overall combative military might.

[rule] Lastly, we would like to show you what fun the Dominion has wrapped up this month. We have finished this month's Campaign! Campaign IV: The Hydian Blitz! Chapter 3: The Fields of Veradu A week passes on Krios as battles raged on, over 10,000 dead, as the No-Man's-Land now known as The Fields of Veradu erupted constantly with artillery barrages. Arriving at the Imperial Outpost on planet the Dominion force gathered under the leadership of General Quintus Vaximus to prepare for the coming battle. Informed in a briefing there were two objectives: First, securing and defending the I.S.S Opposition, a wrecked Terminus-class Destroyer that was in pieces, but still maintained working Turbolasers. The 56th Engineer Battalion was there preparing to bring them online. Second, was the search and rescue of Imperial personnel and supplies with an Imperial HASV. Successfully defending the Terminus allowed the turbolasers to destroy Republic AA and Artillery batteries. It was this break that allowed reinforcements to arrive on planet from orbit. Successfully rescuing the troops from the downed transports allowed for the attacking force to grow and destroy incoming Republic forces. Arriving in the center of the battlefield, the Dominion forces along with the combined might of the 1st Dominion Marines and 45th Shock Trooper Regiment were able to fight off the Task Force Aegis' Jedi forces from the Yu Enclave. The battle was fierce, but the Jedi were eventually defeated leaving a fallen Jedi Master captured, and a Consular dead. Now the Dominion prepares for the final assault to break the Republic line... Chapter 4: Storm the Trenches The War for Krios has finally come to its end as the Imperial forces led by the Dominion put all their cards on the table prepared for a massive final push! Led by Executor Nightbane, with a full contingent of Shadow Guard, Legionaries, the Imperial 3rd Sector Army, and 45th Shock Trooper Regiment all eyes point to the Republic bastion before them. Republic fortifications began to light up in defiance as troops rallied, a full last blitz against the lines as the Dominion marched up the ridge line destroying bunkers and artillery guns allowing for armor and orbital support to engage. [rule] JOIN NOVUS DOMINION! We are ever growing, every expanding, every organizing our Roleplay! Now, we prepare for war in our community in the Galactic Conquest! Stay tuned! The Republic was overwhelmed, a mass of Imperial crushing down on the last bits of resistance as soldiers and Jedi fell with no retreat acceptable. Death hung across the Republic lines once the Empire passed that hill, moving into their own trenches and killing all before them. Entering a tunnel locating the shield generator, Engineers were slaughtered allowing the shields to come down beginning a series of air strikes that spelt the end. General Bayl and Jedi Master Weyfa stood with their Commando forces as the last defense while all Republic forces began to evacuate the planet. A hard fought battle ensued, but the Empire proved their long month of struggle had finally come full circle. The General and Master fell, as their fortress of Krios came crumbling down around them. The Republic was defeated, and Krios was now firmly in Imperial hands...

Greetings Star Forge RP Community! The war is back! Novus Dominion is now two events into our 4th Campaign titled The Hydian Blitz. The Campaign tells our story alongside the main story as the frontlines between the Republic and Empire ignite and war is once again fully upon the galaxy. Here is a summary and pics from the two events! Campaign IV: The Hydian Blitz Renewed War! After months since the Battle of Salacia and the first signs of renewed conflict against the Galactic Republic, the entirety of the Sith Empire has now mobilized to strike out against our old foe starting with the planet Ossus! Now, purged from the infighting and hesitant discord within, The Dominion now readies itself for its greatest offensive yet, ordered and commanded by the Ministry of War to take the fight to the Republic on multiple fronts as to free a path for the main effort toward the Core. Darth Harbinger and the Dominion Council now ready for an all out against from Thila, preparing to take the fight deep into Republic held territory and bring about the beginning phases of the new War… [rule] Chapter 1: First Strike [rule] War begins again in the Galactic North! Heating up as the Battle of Ossus and several engagements begin across the Republic-Imperial borders, the Dominion powerbase has begun its own offensive codenamed: Operation Retribution. The offensive led by the Imperial 34th Assault Fleet led by Admiral Lucius Kaiz and elements of the 1st Dominion Fleet have converged on the planet Seelos in a bid to quickly take the world without the Republic realizing they are under attack. Nearby Telos harbors a large Republic garrison much to large to take on directly. Beginning aboard the I.S.S Ashas Revenge, the Dominion forces met to prepare the jump to hyperspace into the Seelos system. Upon entry they were met by a Republic defense force led by three Thranta-class Corvettes that needed to be destroyed. The bridgecrew of the Ashas Revenge were knocked out, and multiple personnel were able to stand up and take their positions successfully destroying the enemy warships. Once orbit was taken, the ground attack could begin. The mission was simple, locate the Republic listening station and destroy it via laser desgination for orbital bombardment. The base would need to be destroyed quickly before they could get a signal through the Imperial jamming. Once the Dominion made planetfall, they trecked through the salt desert searching for the base until they came upon a speeder bike patrol. The patrol was consumed by a large native creature, a Joopa, which then attempted to attack the Imperial forces. Luckily, thanks to the mastery of one of our Sith, the Joopa was tamed and allowed the Dominion a path underground directly to the base. Finding the base, the Dominion forces were able to laser target their objective only after destroying a shield generator and an E-95 Light Tank. The tank was destroyed thanks to the combined effort of Sith and Military might. The base destroyed and a Joopa tamed, the Dominion secured Seelos able to have a staging area to move onto the Hydian Way and perform the next phase of the operation... [rule] Chapter 2: Siege of Kwymar Beginning back on Seelos, the Dominion party secure their foothold in the mostly Republic monitored Kwymar sector. A new day begun on the salt planet when a transmission comes in on a public wide range frequency. “This is General Yamasuraka, Commander of Task Force Aegis. Yes Imperials, we are fully aware of your little attack on our outpost. You’ll be happy to know a fleet of the Republic’s finest are on their way. I will give you this one chance to return back to your sector before anymore blood is spilled. We wouldn’t want a repeat of Salacia, too much blood spilled in a short time. However, should you refuse. Know that we will not rest until we push you back all the way to Dromund Kaas if necessary. Yama out.” Suddendly artillery rained down upon the Dominion base of Outpost Grey, Republic Firebrand MLRS poised for an attack with Republic Infantrymen stormed as the party was forced to repel the attackers. A long fight began, leaving many wounded and the outpost destroyed. They were thus recalled back to the Ashas Revenege where Sergeant Jibbo Katana of the 45th Shock Trooper Regiment met them. Informing the party, the Dominion force had moved to the nearby planet of Krios tracking the Republic Fleet that had jumped and then left the system. Arriving on Krios, the world was a hidden Republic Fortress. A space battle began between the 34th Assault Fleet and the Republic defenders, led by Admiral Kaiz. The Republic held a strong fight digging deep into the world as the Empire invaded. The Dominion force would need to drop directly into the battlefield to secure allied forces and reinforce the battle lines. Defeating a Republic tank and walker, and numerous platoons of Republic Soldiers, the Dominion would rescue Major Elrund and his company allowing the Imperial force to dig in and prepare for the long siege. The war had come full swing, and it was time to fight! [rule] Are you looking for a story based, character driven guild with weekly events! JOIN NOVUS DOMINION!

[/warning] Novus Dominion is still in great need of Imperial MILITARY BRANCH. Our Imperial Military personnel is extremely under staffed. I'll be honest, we have 2 officers, and a good pool of 3-4 members compared to a vast 10+ membership in other branches. The Dominion military needs future Officers and NCOs.

Greetings Star Forge RP community!!! Novus Dominion back with our weekly update. Today we announce the beginning of our internal guild Campaign starting June 1st titled - The Novitian Blitz, the story will detail our guilds reaction for SWTOR's 'Jedi Under Siege' on Ossus and 'The Dantooine Incursion' coming in a few weeks! All of this in prep for the new Onslaught expansion coming later this year. The huge point I pitch to my officers in Novus Dominion is STORY TELLING. The Novus Dominion experience isn't just a guild RPing randomly on the day to day, it is an augment to your SWTOR experience. Rather then simply walking in the shoes of "The Alliance Commander", I hope that all members of Novus Dominion use our guild as a home to tell their own stories and experiences while the events of the galaxy unfold. That is why, 100%, we follow and align ourselves to the exact update that the game is currently in, and we react and RP with each new SWTOR update and content that lands. I even write and produce content for Novus Dominion in our campaigns that reflect this. Novus Dominion is a strong and large guild. We RP ourselves as a multi-sphere, multi-layered Sith powerbase under the direct authority of the Sphere of Military Offense. The key to our growth, is our capacity for war. Thus, we base much of our RP on warfare and helping lead that effort in the community. While we aren't as public as many other powerbases, we do enjoy having a hand or whisper in the right people's ears. Looking to associate yourself with the Dominion powerbase? Contact one of our officers and we can set up a meeting in game! We are looking currently for Hutt/Underworld, Mandalorian, and Chiss Ascendancy contacts! RECRUITMENT NEEDS: Novus Dominion see's anywhere from 4-7 applications a week, not everyone is accepted! Our application process is small, and allows a light introduction between the new potential member, and our officership. We look to see a persons commitment to their backstory, RP, and their thought process. A simple one word answer will NOT grant approval. We do this because our RP events are normally 2+ hours long and we hope individual members invest long term in the guild's development and story. We are currently looking for members for our MILITARY BRANCH. Our Imperial Military personnel is extremely under staffed. I'll be honest, we have 2 officers, and a good pool of 3-4 members compared to a vast 10+ membership in other branches. The Dominion military needs future Officers and NCOs. Looking to develop a character for a longterm military career? No better place than the 45th Shock Trooper Regiment and Dominion Navy. All imperial personnel begin as a basic Private, but you will soon develop into a more veteran soldier or crewmen, maybe branch to be a pilot, deck officer, specialist in a field? We need professional, long term troopers! Enlist today, and make the Dominion your home! Glory to the Empire! Auriole Validas!

Greetings Star Forge! It's been a few months now since our last advertisement update on what Novus Dominion has been up to. That in part, has been my fault, as RL kicked me personally around for a bit there along with much of the council leading to our secondary officers being amazing and taking up the torch while we settle things up. Now, summer is here, and it's time to get back to business! First and foremost, we have been extremely busy getting our membership into a stable and very active place. We are proud to announce that every single branch now has a council member lead, a second in command, and a team of support Officers and Leaders who are able to support day-to-day guild operations and RP! This has been a HUGE task! Also, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO NOVUS DOMINION! Novus Dominion as a guild has turned 1 year old on May 12th! It's been a massive year with us recovering from our old selves, into this new age of the Novus. The Dominion has never been a better place to make your home for RP. Novus Dominion will be beginning our new Campaign soon to align with the coming SWTOR content, meaning we are working directly with our spheres and the Ministry of War to prepare for WAR! While we do this internally, externally we continue to work with partner guilds, friends, and enemies alike to produce amazing RP! RECRUITMENT NEEDS: At this time, Novus Dominion is desperately in need of Imperial Military personnel. The 45th Expeditionary Corps is our primary Imperial unit based in the Imperial Army. Attached to the Dominion powerbase, the 45th needs all the new recruits it can get! Join a Fire Team, Squad, or work your way up to command. Join a professional fighting force with years of experience and an officer staff dedicated to keeping you trained and battle ready. ENLIST TODAY! All other branches are currently accepting, but Military is our primary focus at this time! Room for advancement and more! Novus Dominion is also looking for Civilian personnel to work directly with us. We are in need of Sith and Imperials specializing in Law/Justice, Economics, Trade, Cantina workers, and especially diplomats to help spread the powerbase influence. JOIN THE DOMINION TODAY! JOIN THE FUTURE OF THE EMPIRE!

Star Forge RP community! Hear me! This last week was a very mild week of social events, training, and cooperative RP with friends across multiple guilds! Several branches performed routine tasks and we were able to begin new talks with possible allies and reaffirming old alliances with Imperial guilds. We here at Novus Dominion fully support building our community by assisting other guilds in their content, going out into the public world instead of RPing secluded, and formulating great stories even with the opposite faction. If you're a Republic, Cartel, or any other kind of player outside the Empire, feel free to contact us for RP! [rule] NOTE: Novus Dominion is specifically looking for guilds and personnel to associate with beyond the Empire for RP purposes! We are looking specifically for the following: Chiss Ascendancy - The Chiss have long been allies of the Sith Empire, even now, they remain a deeply connected and rooted core ally. The Dominion seeks Chiss Aristocra, Chiss Defense Force, and other personnel to befriend and associate with. Hutt Cartel - The Hutts are breaking their long time friendship with the Republic and becoming more and more lucretive in their business opportunities. We seek Hutts of various reputation (and size) to do business with. Trade, Weapons, Slaves... Pirate/Marauders - Harassing our enemies, is important to the Dominion. We are not beneath hiring out outsiders of the Empire to ensure our agenda is seen through. Disrupting shipping lanes, targeting specific enemy forces, and more. Businesses and Private Corporations - The need for the Dominion powerbase to grow economically is important so that we might build and develop ourselves, but also give hefty tribute to the Empire. We are looking for businesses and corporations interested in dealing with the Dominion a wide variety of projects from manufacturing to developing new weapons. [rule] Novus Dominion is still looking for Military Forces! Troopers to enlist in the 45th Shock Trooper Regiment, and Intelligence Agents for the D.I.A, but we are also looking for Venators: Venators are skilled Dominion sponsored bounty hunters, who are able to work outside Imperial influence and even perform in places we in the Empire can't always go. Apply now! Sith, Shadow Guard, and Slave applications are still CLOSED, but will re-open soon! JOIN NOVUS DOMINION! RULE THE GALAXY! SERVE THE EMPIRE!

GREETINGS Wonderful Star Forge RP Community! Today, Novus Dominion continued their ongoing Campaign! Campaign III, with our Chapter 2 story! Hutts and Heresy! [rule] Chapter 2: Hutts and Heresy [rule] After the conquest of Ferro has been complete, a new challenger arrived on the scene... A Hutt Cartel boss by the name of "Big Junta" had arrived to relay a message, an offer of information important to the Overlord. Sending his envoy in the form of his second in command; Boombaa the Hutt, the small Cartel fleet deemed the Dominion a worthy business venture to begin dealing directly with the Empire. However, not all things were as they appeared... [rule] Assembling aboard the Ashas Revenge over the world of Ferro, the Dominion prepared to welcome the emissary from the Hutt fleet. Boombaa the Hutt welcomed the Dominion leaders; Imperator Cruxx and Commandant Jerrico aboard his flagship in an offering of peace to do business. Accepting the offer, the pair took their team aboard the Hutt ship bound for the world of Gigor, a planet in the neighboring sector. Danger quickly erupted when the Hutt vessel was thrown out of hyperspace unexpectedly, causing a panic from the Hutts. It was soon discovered that the Gigoran slaves had revolted, and taken command of the ship engine room and other key systems. Battling for survival as a countdown began for self destruct, the Dominion assumed command of the vessel destroying all in their path. It was thanks to combined effort and leadership that the Dominion was able to push to the engine room, and with the help of a protocol droid which was quickly destroyed. Finding the Leader of this slave rebellion, the Dominion forces quickly overwhelmed the slaves before the damage could be done saving Boombaa and his vessel. Information in hand through a datapad, it was discovered that Boombaa was betrayed by Big Junta in a powerplay to frame him for the deaths of Imperials. Boombaa claims the Big Junta would never do this, but the Dominion fears they have now entered a small Hutt gang war. However.... Something does not feel right, as the Dominion is ferried home to Thila... A dark shroud looms over the events as the information for the Overlord hangs in the balance... [rule] WHAT IS NEW Novus Dominion has been very busy with our internal affairs, from various smaller Story Arcs, a range of missions and trainings from each branch, and bringing in new members! We have attended allied functions such as a wedding at Paragon Covenant and social with Black Gauntlet, and we've got more planned for the entire community as our Campaign begins to end toward March! The biggest news this week is that SLAVE RECRUITMENT IS NOW CLOSED until further notice. Yup, just like Sith and Shadow Guard applicants, our Slave population has exploded in recent days, and we want to ensure all new slaves get the courtesy and full attention they deserve. We are very happy to have nearly 10 active slaves now in Novus Dominion! The branch will re-open when we're ready to bring in more and the slave caste is more established. In other news, the Dominion has begun establishing Fire Teams and other formations in our Military Branch. We are looking for active full time soldiers to fill these ranks and roles, along with other various RP opportunities. Enlist in the 45th today! As always, the Dominion Court is looking for civilian advisors to our Council and noble Sith house. Glory to the Empire! Auriole Validas!

New Bounty Hunters are always welcome, and Slaves are an amazing realism factor! We just got our 7th ACTIVE SLAVE And of course, Dominion Court - Civilian positions are all still ready and available. Novus Dominion has just released a Press Release to the galaxy, directed at the Sith Empire detailing information on an on going plot against the Dominion Overlord; Darth Harbinger. This is an on going community multi-ally conspiracy we've gladly accepted (me specifically) where we've been targeted by unknown persons. This ties directly into our internal story, and our participation in the Galactic Conquest community! Our next Chapter for our campaign is this coming weekend, and we continue to grow, and delve into good quality RP! Feel free to message for any questions! Aureole Valdias, Glory to the Empire!

Greetings Star Forge community! Today we only have a recruitment bump, as majority of the guild took this last week to relax, RP socially, train in their respective branches, and build their characters. [rule] Civil Affairs as a branch is no more, we have disbanded the branch and reformed a new branch: The Dominion Court! The Dominion Court focuses on the political, social, and family RP that has been in the background of the guild since its beginning, focusing on the story of House Shadows and House Calderon, which are the two major Sith families that include the major leaders of the guild. The Court ensures stability in the powerbase, focusing on the larger structure, and the policy making of the overall dynasty that is the Dominion. Under the Dominion Court; The Shadow Guard, Slaves, and Civilians now are under the control of the Dominion Court as a branch, with the Shadow Guard working much more as an honor guard, slaves as a support role, and civilians filling roles of advisement, and structure. [rule] RECRUITMENT NEEDS: This comes to the good stuff, what we need! MILITARY: We have just released our new Military Field Manual and Armor/Uniform standards! Always looking to enlist (and conscript) new soldiers into the ranks! We have a dire need to foster a new generation of troops for the future of the NCO Corps. INTEL: There are several major operations in the works, and some that have already begun! We need agents ready to go out into the galaxy and collect information! Looking for a few more Trainees for these new operations! VENATORS: Venator Bounty Hunters are hiring! It's a brand new sub-branch and needs to populate! SLAVES: The Slaves are always in need! We JUST elected our first Slave leader who will be organizing the slaves and beginning some events for them! We are also looking for a Slaver to help recruit and organize the slaves. If interested, sign up! CIVILIANS: We are looking for several Civilian positions for the Dominion Court! Positions listed below! -Advisor of Imperial Law: Advises the court on all matters pertaining to Imperial Law and Justice, working to ensure the Dominion is in line with Imperial Edicts and that Dominion Law does not overlap.

Greetings beautiful Star Forge RP community!!! Novus Dominion has had another successful week as we promote new officers, bring forth new RP opportunities for all branches, and finish off Chapter 1 of our Campaign! [rule] Chapter 1: Dream of Empire PART 2 [rule] The following day began with OPEN REBELLION. The Dominion woke up to sounds of unrest, blasterfire, riots, and explosions in the streets in a sector of the capital not too far from the Capitol Building. Their objective: Snuff out the resistance and fight towards the Capitol Building, where the Ferroan Cabinet resides. A particular member of the cabinet had conspired against the Dominion after the forced signing of the treaty and had taken over the Ferroan leadership with little resistance as all were loyalist to the previous governor, except the Conspirator himself. The Conspirator’s name is 'Farce' and he lifted himself up as the new self-proclaimed Governor of Ferro. In an attempt to gain his power for himself, he spread lies to the Ferroan people of the Dominion forces killing the Governor Orwell, he convinced the loyalist party to support him through deceit of him being the most loyal to the Governor, therefore sparking open rebellion in the streets of the capital... [rule] Leading the united front to victory were the two brothers of the Dominion Council, Darth Jerrico and Darth Cruxx. A plan was quickly drafted and the fight was made between two separate groups of the primary invasion party. Group Aurek led by Darth Jerrico and Group Besh led by Darth Cruxx. A dramatic dash was made for the capitol building. Through the conflict, allies were lost and enemies were defeated. From Civilians, to Local Nature Preservationist, and Neighborhood Watch groups, all would not prevail against the overwhelming might of the Sith Empire. Unfortunately Major Jenkins who was leading the fight against the uprising in the City’s Marketplace, was shot dead before reinforcements could intervene, causing an outrage from Darth Jerrico and Group Aurek. Overall the resistance on the streets of the Capital City were wiped out, however the source was still at large. The Dominion continued their march to the Capitol Building where, however along the way they encountered a small Ferroan girl who was seen crying in despair. Accordinging to several disputed reports, her name is Lyla. She was seen crying, as her deceased parents were also seen dead on the ground in front of their destroyed home with blaster holes in both of their chests. She was seen picking up a blaster while tears streamed down her face. She held up her father’s blaster to the approaching Dominion Forces. Her hands shook terribly. Darth Jerrico took the liberty to console the child before she could do any harm to herself or to any Dominion personnel. She was escorted off Ferro by an Imperial shuttle and taken to Thila. As a result, she is potentially a future ally that may assist the Dominion. The Dominion continued their march to victory. The Capitol Building was now in sight and guarding the entrance were two defending elite guardsmen who wore traditional armor and clothing while also bearing traditional Ferroan Warblades. Both were masked with intricate gold embroidery however one wore bright white clothing, while the other wore stark black clothing. ‘Light’ and ‘Dark’, Although neither would not speak, ‘Light’ was persuaded to step aside and ‘Dark’ was persuaded to join the Dominion as fellow comrade, potentially serving as a beneficial ally in the future. Obstructing Dominion Forces from entering the Capitol Building was a large sealed door, which was successfully blasted open by a talented Sith within the ranks, Prefect Xaraphan. Immediately after, the two Darths stormed the apex of corruption supported by the Dominion’s collective Military, Sith, Contractor, and Intelligence forces. They mercilessly and relentlessly forced their way to the top of the building where the cabinet room was located. Inside the room was the entire cabinet and at the center of the room was the false icon, Governor Farce. They were protected by a rayshield which was quickly disabled by Lord Caesius. Dominion Forces entered the chamber. Some bolstered the might of the two Darths while some guarded the entrance, preventing any of the cabinet members from leaving out of fear. With Governor Farce’s back against the wall and against all odds he resulted into dramatic measures by attempting to take his own life and the life of everyone in the chamber by using a large thermal detonator. The Dominion failed to stop him. The Governor killed all of the cabinet members and severely injured many of the Dominion. Ironically he managed to survive his own suicide attempt and was forced to endure a fate much worse than what he had anticipated… Darth Jerrico gave the order for all the injured to be treated by medical services as well as the order to have Governor Farce escorted to a well known cliffside within the city. The site itself was known in the past to host public executions. The Dominion ultimately declare victory by the cliffside. Two imperial guardsmen escorted the cripplied governor to the cliffside and place him on his knees. With a show of force from the Sith Empire and the Novus Dominion, Darth Jerrico drove his lightsaber into the back of the governor before kicking off the side of the cliff. As the Ferroan leadership dies and the Imperial banners draped down all officially marked buildings in the capital, fear entered the lives of the many crowds of Ferroans who watched the display. Because of the successful invasion and the mercy shown on the Ferroan girl, Lyla, 'Imperial Day' is an official holiday held annual on Ferro on the day of the Novus Dominion invasion. Shortly after the display, a specific Hutt Cartel fleet is seen jumping out of hyperspace into the atmosphere of Ferro. Who is this Hutt, what is he doing on Ferro, and is the Dominion under a new threat? To be continued... [rule] COMING UP IN THE DOMINION The primary focus of the guild finishing off January into Feburary, is our internal affairs.

Greetings Star Forge community! Novus Dominion here, and boy are we heading for some good times! The Dominion has just concluded our 2nd Story Arc and latest Campaign; Troska Unrest! As the Dominion moves out of this Story Arc, we head towards a new one that we plan to align with the prepared happenings of SWTOR 5.10! We engage with the on going story of the game with our own, while throwing in a few twists and turns with our allies and adversaries. Speaking of adversaries, we are planning a GUILD V GUILD RP WAR! Talks are already in motion, but RP events will be coming in the near future as our guilds collide. Stay tuned! The guild is also preparing to fully open recruitment for our Naval sub-branch and new Citizen branch! Information for both should be forthcoming by the end of the month, and we're extremely happy with the new content we will be bringing to the community! The Naval Sub-branch will be focusing on Fleet vs Fleet battles with enemy NPC and Player ships in a RTS type system with other guilds who use similar dice roll systems. While our Citizen branch will be giving our social RPiers something to love by opening our Stronghold as a full fledged Imperial Colony. We will be opening the Stronghold to the public at times for market days, random encounters, and the hosting of the DOMINION ARENA! Gladiatorial fighting for honor and glory! Pit yourself or slaves against one another in spectacular fashion! Community events coming SOON! Between all this, we also have a great deal of new promotions and advancements in the guild. A new Sith Overseer, new Imperial Officers, Agents moving up in the world, and a leader of the Shadow Guard! Great happenings and progress for us here in the Dominion! Here is a little showing: [rule] Campaign: Troska Unrest Chapter 3: New World, New Info The Dominion had a multi-layered strategy to claim the forested world of Troska as their own. For the initial intelligence gathering, a team was sent to gather intelligence on the planet's leaders in order to formulate a more effective plan in placing a puppet government in place on the world. Led by Cipher Agent Fourty-Six, the team sneaked around the compound while the agent distracted the planetary nobles holding a gathering nearby. The team successfully gathered information, though they were not able to recover the Cipher. However, this proved to play to the Dominion's advantage, as the information revealed that one of the top rulers of the planet, Zarz Kyber, Prince of Troska, was becoming disenfranchised with the Republic and their lack of support of the planet. After the group extracted, Cipher fourty-six made use of their intelligence training, and secured audience with the prince in order to further the Dominion's goals. She managed to get him to admit to his frustrations, and pointed him in the direction of the Dominion and what they had the power to do for him... The Dominion Forces prepare to storm the Troska Palace Imperial Soldiers of the 45th Expeditionary Force fall in to recieve orders from the Imperator; Darth Cruxx Sith Acolytes of the Dominion train under Overseers Lord Arkis'sais and Se'hura in the Overlord's presence. Dominion High Command led by Admiral Sev'inte'loro speaks on the coming war effort and strategem. The Overlord, Dominion Council, and several officers witness the deployment of their new weapon: The IGBM. [rule] Many events are on the way as we conclude September and move into the rest of Fall! New Stories, new Characters, NPCs, Allies/Enemy guilds, Community RP, Player content and MORE! The Dominion is the Empire's best hope for victory! GLORY TO THE EMPIRE! GLORY TO THE DOMINION!!!

Greetings great Star Forge community! Novus Dominion here, and we're happy to continue working forward to exciting new possibilities in our RP! First we'd like to announce a string of new happenings in the guild: We've moved! Yes, Novus Dominion now sports a brand new enclave! A fully unlocked Rishi SH to replace our Yavin IV SH! The in-character reasoning for this is that the old Yavin site is to be converted into the Overlord's private estate, while the new site is a beachfront property to be converted into both the new Dominion Sith Academy, and Thila colony. The planet is still very much Thila! More Unlocked Guild Ship!: Thanks to the hard work of many individuals, our guild ship is near completion and fully unlocked! We are getting closer every week now. As we continue to expand the ship, we are working on a new NAVAL SUB-BRANCH for our Military forces. If you're a pilot, crewman, or imperial naval RPier who has been seeking an engaging experience. Stay tuned! Between our flagship and new Rishi carrier, there is plenty of room for crew! New Colosseum Events! The re-openning of the age old Dominion tradition! Since the old days of the Shadow Dominion guild, we have sponsored gladitorial events for sport and honor! Now with Rishi providing an actual arena, we will be holding these events in many different styles! We seek Gladiatorial Slaves who's entire purpose is to endorse this sport while also providing an auxiliary to our main military forces! The Dominion is continuing our story arc as we prepare for our next phase after Aeten II. Large plans are in the works with our allies as we also provide idle community level RP out in the public! Join the Dominion today, and become apart of these grand adventures! Below is a picture from our most recent event: Operation Whiteout! Joining the Dominion's Intel and Military forces was our allied guild: Third Imperial Assault Fleet! JOIN THE DOMINION TODAY!

Greetings Star Forge RP Community! Novus Dominion continues to grow, and there are a few things we'd like to share with you! Lately, we've promoted a new roster of Leaders and Officers completely fleshing out the chain of command for all branches. That means besides the Council there is always someone around to help get RP started! We've begun reaching over 10 members a day logging in or more! This is huge achievement for us, making for great opportunities for internal RP. We'd like to announce The Shadow Guard Branch has CLOSED RECRUITMENT at this time we feel we have more than enough guardsmen filling the role of council protectors and executioners. It will again opens its doors once the current membership is properly fleshed out, but for now, our efforts are focused on other branches. The Sith Branch and Intelligence Branch are recruiting the most with room for leadership and opportunities for RPiers looking to grow. Military is also continuing recruitment, but not as much as the above. Fire Teams are still forming and events week to week are coming out! SLAVES AND CONTRACTORS are always welcome as well! We are working on Naval mechanics to open a Naval sub-branch to Military. More TBA. Novus Dominion is looking for many others to fill our ranks and more RP to associate! Drop a line on our forum embassy or contact us here through enjin! GLORY TO THE EMPIRE!
