''"The Dominion has endured for over two thousand years, and will continue to endure long after the Federation has crumbled into dust."'' Weyoun 4<br />

The '''Dominion'''  is a major interstellar state in the Gamma Quadrant. Technologically advanced and millennia old, the [[ST_NewHorizons/Races|species]] was founded under the absolute rule of the race of Changelings known as the Founders. Their will is carried out by the Vorta, and the Jem'Hadar. The Dominion is dedicated to imposing the Founders' vision of "order" upon the universe, i.e. bringing all other civilizations under its control.

The '''Vorta''' are a humanoid species genetically engineered by the Founders of the [[ST_NewHorizons/Races/Dominion|Dominion]] to act as field commanders, administrators, scientists, and diplomats. The Vorta see themselves as those who ''"served the Founders."'' The Vorta believe, perhaps apocryphally, that they previously existed as small, timid, ape-like forest dwellers living in hollowed-out trees to avoid predators on their homeworld, of which there were many. Legend has it that one day, a family of Vorta hid a Changeling from an angry mob of "solids" that were pursuing it. In return, the Changeling promised that, one day, they would be transformed into powerful beings and placed at the head of a vast interstellar empire that would stretch across the galaxy.

== Government, Civics, Traits, Ethics and Planet Preference ==

'''Government Type:'''

* The Great Link

There are no words to describe the Great Link, the heart and soul of the Dominion. It is not an single entity. The governmental edifice that has slowly accrued around it, to manage the business of the lesser species that make up the dominion, is no less convoluted. Yet, despite it all, the Link prevails, and even thrives.

* Composite Consciousness

Fear, shame, loss, loneliness, rivalries, treason and avarice: All of them are impossible. Without deceit, there are no politics, and without politics, a room for a different kind of discourse and government emerges. Now the true voice of the people can emerge.

Election on Rulers Death (Changelings are functionally immortal, living for over 1000 years, so without outside interference, you won't have to ever elect a new leader.)
