Description (Specifications)[edit]
Domain of Alntzar (Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
Government & Politics[edit]
Strict internal security measures remain in place within the Domain, albeit mostly submerged under a massive bureaucracy.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Domain's relationships with its neighbors remain poor at best. Substantial "technical assistance" is provided to the Descarothe Hegemony and Nirvana. However, major political, historical, and philosophical differences make any lasting accord between these states very unlikely.
The Zhodani Consulate still supports the Domain, but this backing has waned since the end of the Fourth Frontier War. During the Fifth Frontier War, the Domain was 'sympathetic' to the Outworld Coalition, but limited its activities to providing facilities for Coalition forces.
Goals[edit]
- Reestablishment of the Dominion of Alntzar (with a generally pro-Zhodani stance).
- Guarantee of interstellar trade and commerce.
Since the fall of the Dominion, the worlds of the region have adopted a neutral stance, with the Domain being seen as their mutual principal threat. The recent emergence of the aggressive Descarothe Hegemony has forced a drastic reassessment of strategy among these worlds, taking attention away from Domain activities.
Military & Intelligence[edit]
The military is large, but has not deployed in force outside Domain borders since 1021.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
A historical chart showing the Dominion of Alntzar at its height, with part of the current Domain of Alntzar superimposed onto it. (Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
Dominion Rule[edit]
The Dominion of Alntzar formed during the later 6th century, following the emergence of The Protectorate, and gradually began absorbing surrounding neutral worlds. It received support from the Zhodani and became an ally of the Consulate. During the 7th and 8th centuries the Dominion was the dominant force in the region, controlling 28 systems at its height (including the worlds of the Hegemony). It was split by dissent and internal warfare in the early 800s.
It is suspected that Imperial interests were behind this upheaval, as the Imperium and its regional allies benefited greatly from the diminishment of the Dominion's strongly pro-Zhodani government.
- The collapse of the Dominion and the subsequent weakness of this flank of the Zhodani Consulate was a significant strategic factor during both the Third and Fourth Frontier Wars.
Regardless of the cause of the Dominion's disintegration, more than half of its member worlds either rebelled or formally seceded -- many eventually unifying into the League Of Suns and the Descarothe Hegemony. Former member worlds including Lelaek, Thenstor, Mirayn, Affleck and Nirvana remain independent to the present day. The Domain remains as the rump state of the Dominion, occupying the rimward part of Jungleblut Subsector.
After unsuccessfully attempting to regain lost territories by force or diplomacy, the remnants of the Dominion have spent the last century or so declining into an isolationist and comparatively decadent state. It had stopped being referred to as the Dominion by the 11th century, instead being given the somewhat less threatening title Domain.
