The Empire of Dominia, often simply referred to as “the Empire,” is a heavily religious absolute monarchy with its capital, Knight's Landing, on the planet of Cassia in the Mira Sancta System. This autocratic state is presently ruled by His Imperial Majesty Emperor Raiju Majima II.

The Empire of Dominia was proclaimed in 2318 by Emperor Jacob Kaine, the founder of the now lost Kaine Dynasty. Imperial society is dominated by the Great and Minor Houses under the Emperor and is very socioeconomically stratified due to the vicious environment of the Empire's middle class. Imperial society is heavily divided by class, yet by edict of the Founder, one can rise above their station through excellence.

Many in the Empire follow a strict code of honor, which originates with its great houses. Its state religion is the Cassian Holy Tribunal which lays a heavy hand upon the Imperial government, with their edicts enforceable as law and those that violate its edicts being classified as an 'Enemy of The People,' revoking their rights and branding them an Outlaw, in it's original meaning.

Perhaps the most famous export of the Empire is the gene-boosting techniques it has carefully developed over centuries, their innovations in recent times having become on-par with the Skrell.

It remains highly imperialistic and somewhat isolated but has recently made strides to enter further into the galactic stage. “As Kaine Willed, We Go Forth!” is commonly regarded as official the motto of the Empire, the phrase originating with the command the Founder gave to the Empire shortly after the end of the Great Synthetic War. The Empire is considered by many to be a threat to the free frontier.

What you need to know

b

• Hating Synthetics is common, to a near-rule degree. Even centuries later, Remnant incursions occur, and the Synthetic Liberation Front occasionally perpetrate terrorist attacks. Losing a friend or a loved one to the Machines and their minions is, while not so common as to provoke constant Martial Law, it is depressingly too common.
• By Edict of the Founder, Lowborn Citizens benefit from many Social Programs that see to their needs. However, the further from the Imperial Core you are, the harder it is to benefit from these programs.
• Moving up the social ladder carries great risk. It requires money, effort, and while not a legal requirement, the positive attention of your betters. The higher you wish to climb, the more of the first two you'll need to advance. The third becomes ever more necessary, as your peers begin to scheme against you, looking to take what you've earned and climb higher themselves. Only great success, the protection and patronage of a Great House, or both can protect you once you find yourself in-between the High and the Low.
• Religion is very important in Dominian Society. Read the Religion tab.
