A sentient, hydrogen breathing race of floater-glider carnivores. First contacted in -209 in Reshumirak (Dagudashaag 1025) system. The majority resemble 1m long sting rays with a number of tendrils located along the underbelly. Since then Domination colonies have been found in the upper atmospheres of twelve gas giants located throughout Dagudashaag, Gushemege, and Core sectors.
Much of the research into the race was initially carred out during the Laraa Renaissance. It was during this inital investigates researchers realized they had discoverd a single race capable of altering its genetic structure.
Each Dominatrix is effectively immortal. Each as the Telekinetic ability to alter the genetic structure of itself and others around it. Using this ability prevents the effects of aging or disease. If a Dominatrix is injured beying its ability to heal itself, it splits into two (or more) individual spawn, each of which grows into a full sized creature.
The tail of the Dominatrix has a set of loosely attached spines called "Servitor seeds". These spines can be hurled from the tail 20m or more. If one of these spines is injected in to another creature, the seed unravels and connects to the bost nervous system. The seed acts as conduit for the genetics altering ability of the Dominatrix, allowing the parent to alter the host. Almost all of the hosts (or servitors) develop armor and an increased resistance to aging and diseases. The Domination starships of Reshumirak were selectivly bred into this task using this method. Sophont creatures, especially those with Psionic training, are extremly diffucult to dominate and the backlash can often result in death for both involved.
Dominator ships are formed from genetically altered floaters, interfaced with multiple servitor seeds. The creature can not survive vacuum and die during their maiden launch. The seeds allow the Domination crew to control the corpse, preventing further decay and providing essential ships systems. The Domination have been unable to manufacture genetic fusion generators or jump drives, which are purchased from other races and merged into the ship body. The ship's organic nature allows the alteration and creation of additional holds or life support system as needed.
On very rare occasions, a Dominatrix will elect to merge with a sentient host — this symbiotic relationship is known as "Riding". The parent Dominatrix adapts both itself and the servitor to allow an interface between the two. The Dominatrix then attaches itself to the host body, creating a fusion of the two nervous systems. The two minds then combine creating a single combined personality which controls the symbotic relationship. The merger process allows both the rider and the host to be immune from the affects of aging, and illness. There has never been a known case of splitting the rider from the host without killing both creatures.
History
Initial contact between Humaniti and the Domination occured in -209, when a warship from the Medurma Pact entered the Reshumirak system looking for pirates and observed a Domination ship descending into the gas giant atmosphere. A permanent research base was established on Reshumirak, with researchers from Medurma and the Ushran Empire using robotic probes to explore the gas giant and observe the Domination colony deep in the atmosphere.
In -101, a Domination ship malfunctioned, and was left drifting for several days in the outer system. The research teams finally made real contact when the decisions. During the mission it was discovered the Domination ship was using an old Vilani fusion power plant and jump drive apparently scavenged from an old, long abandonded, Vilani mining colony on Reshumirak.
The initial contact went well and trade relationships were established. A permanent orbial station was emplaced in orbit around the Domination gas giant, allowing for continued communications.
The first Rider was Professor Jose Delphi, volunteering in 322. With others following every few years.
In 876 the local Domination colony on Beleperan (Dagudashaag 1626) decided to help themselves to a shipment of Ambalite, destroying the transport in the process. The Remnants Subsector navy, led by Admiral Karl Ghenas III, Earl of Shankida, elected to take the matter into his own hands. He ordered the entire arsenal of nuclear weapons fired at the colony deep in the gas giant atmosphere. The entire fleet was destroyed a few minutes later by the resulting shock wave.
