Fiction:Drakodominatus Tyranny

 "Cease Struggle, Bend Knee, and accept Fate, your subjugation is inevitable" 

The Drakodominatus Tyranny is a massive galaxy spanning totalitarian state originating from the Mirus Galaxy. It is one of most disruptive and potent mortal forces in the Gigaquadrant, ranking Number III on the Agency's threat list. It is infamous for it's genocidal policies, expansionism, powerful military, and it's command of technology and science. It is lead by the, hyper intelligent and hyper strong giants who number only several hundred thousand, but lay claim to the entirety of the Tyranny. It is currently losing it's holdings in a war against essentially the entire Gigaquadrant, called by some The Great Tyranny War, but by others.

Astrography
Even without it's extragalactic colonies, the Drakodomintus Tyranny is a very widespread empire, and prior to the Great Tyranny War had countless systems to it's name spread out across 13 universes but mostly concentrated in the First Gigaqudrant and spread out across all of it's galaxies. As of now the Dominatus only have colonies in the Tartarus Arm of the Mirus Galaxy, in a region called Dominatus Mirus which constitutes most of the arm, which while limited to one galaxy, has millions of worlds.

Government
The Tyranny is ruled by a tyrant, now Medusa Heimdall. Theoretically speaking, the Tyrant has absolute power, though in practice due to the sheer amount of decisions and microgmanagement present in running such an extensive and large empire, much of that power is delegated. The Tyrant is in charge of creating long-term strategic decisions and giving general direction and priorities to the Tyranny, though the Tyrant can micromanage whatever he or she wants with the exception of killing a Dominatus for anything other than treason, which is a case that must be validated by either the Archon, Head Scientist, or Supreme Admiral. The Tyrant also reserves the right to override any lower-level decision any to reappropriate certain resources elsewhere as well as control the Dominatus "budget". The Tyrant is also in charge of electing the Archon from the Drachonian, the Supreme Admiral from the Grand Admiralty, and the Head Scientist from the Institution Directors as well as selecting an Overseer Legion to give direct orders to. Lower level decisions are handled by a parliamentary system of Dominatus all of whom, like all Dominatuis have complete rights aside from voicing open criticism of the Tyrant as well as a very high standard of living. This level of control has four bureaus so to speak, which control all of the Dominatus actions within them namely the Archostrategon for Land Combat, the Supremhydron for Space Combat, the Hephastion for Internal Administration (including Infrastructure and Industry), and the Installations for Scientific Research. These bureaus control the smaller level decisions for each of those branches and the parliamentary system continues all the way down. Administratively, each galaxy has an Administrator who is able to declare war and manage the Tyranny in those colonies unless the Tyrant assumes direct control, and there is an administrator for each smaller demographic denomination, all the way down to planet. Artificial intelligences also help Dominatus administrators in management by helping take care of the minutiae of administration and letting them take care of higher level decisions.

Biology
Dominatus= The are the current ruling race of the Tyranny and the product of artificial evolution of the Drakodominatus in an event called the Culling. With fully grown Dominatus standing 10 meters tall and possessing extreme amounts of intelligence and strength, as well as improved regenerative capabilities and the ability to control biomass, the Dominatus mark a great improvement over the Drakodominatus in every form except fertility where they just mark a small improvement, something that Dominatus scientists are aiming to rectify. There are much less Dominatus than Drakodominatus due to the lethality of the mutagenic agent. The Dominatus are divided into Five Strains, Beta, Alpha, Omega, Lambda and Psi with the same traits as above except that Lambdas have the ability to negate essence while Psis have the ability to use essence.

Overseers= The Overseers are the genetically and cybernetically enhanced supersoldiers who serve the Tyranny. Their templates were taken as eggs, enhanced by a variant of the Dominatus Ultima Serum which gave them completely and undying loyalty to the Dominatus and put through Dominatus educations. Once these templates were trained, they were cloned at their overseer citadels. They used to serve both as administrators, slave drives and soldiers but as of 2794, they have a purely warfare based role and are often seen as the shocktroops that lead Dominatus offensives.

Synthetics= Sythnetics is the blanket term to describe all robots and cyborgs under the Tyranny. Synthetics include the Chiliarchs and Vehicles of the Archostrategon as well as all of the ships and strikecraft of the Supremhydron. They also include the automated stellar foundries and black hole forges as well as the automated planetary governors and advisors to Dominatus. Furthermore, they also include the automated researchers at the Dominatus installations. The Synthetics also have undying loyalty to the Dominatus.

Biodrones= Biodrones are monsters created from other creatures who have been processed by the Dominatus in giant vats. Within this vat, the creature is flayed and has all elements of it's nervous system laced with incredibly small chips that control it's actions. This is so not only the brain but also everything that the brain controls in under the power of the Dominatus. Each biodrone is distinctly aware of all of their actions, and upon further vocal analysis, their moans are actually pleas for help, as they cannot do anything but obey the wishes of their Dominatus masters. These creatures live a life of absolute pain, as their life energy is siphoned off in order to provide power for their actions, so as to serve the Dominatus. In the words of the Dominatus, biodrones are improved slaves and thus improved organic tools.

Military
Army=

The Army of the Drakodominatus Tyranny, formally known as the Archostrategon is quite possibly one of the most feared in the entire Gigaquadrant. Their infantry forces are composed of everything from an unending stream of Myrmidon Robots to Overseer Supersoldiers to the dreaded Dominatus themselves. Their mechanized forces similarly frightening, with powerful tanks as well as truly massive behemoths of war.

Navy=

The Navy of the Tyranny, formally known as the Supremhydron is a legion of powerful and massive ships controlled on the tactical scale by artificial intelligence. The Tyranny's ships are built with immense size, built that way so as to intimidate other races into submission before the first shot is fired in a conflict and so as to facilitate their unminaturized technology. This has led to even their cruisers superseding and rivaling the flagships of some other races in size as noted by the Draconid Imperium. The finest of the Tyranny's technologies make this Navy a force to be reckoned with in any engagement due to it's raw power.

Equipment=

The equipment of the Tyranny is some of the finest in the First Gigaquadrant, from the weapons to the armor, to the communications apparatus of the individual infantryman puts that of quite a few other civilizations to shame. This is perhaps most expressed in the equipment of the Dominatus themselves, which is on par with that of the assault mechs of most other races. This stands testament to the incredibly militaristic culture of the Tyranny, and their commensurate prowess in the area of technology.

Invasion Protocol=

Dominatus invasion protocol is quite important, given the fact that it is what the AI expansion fleets think of when they expand the Tyranny. Invasion protocol ranges from stripping worlds clean, consuming them whole, to enslaving their populace, all of which are effective given a certain goal. This is hardcoded into expansion fleets and is what allows such rapid yet efficient expansion to take place in an efficient scalable manner.

Occult Operations=

Occult Operations is one of the most secretive of military programs and is incredibly potent, controlling the essence masters of the Dominatus Psis and the essence neutralizers of the Dominatus Lambdas, all extensively trained in the arts of essence from the first day and with absolutely no moral compunctions whatsoever. Even one of them is a force to be reckoned with, and is capable of taking down entire armies with merely their essence.

Technology
Dominatus technology is incredibly frightening, and among the most advanced in the First Gigaquadrant. More than anything, it is defined by it's bipolarity. In some places, like the LEZIAPETSSHIT of the Tiamat, it is borderline tier 1/0, as it gives mathematics solid form in reality. Similarly advanced is it's megastructural engineering and it's materials engineering. However, at the other end of the spectrum, it has aspects of being low tier 4 or high tier 5 in terms of the majority of it's industry, of which the majority involves geoengineering. Similarly, they have no knowledge of wormholes in practical application, something that is a tier 3 trait. Therefore, the Dominatus are on aggregate, a tier 1, although they are making heavy transitions in most areas. However, as of Late 2794, their Scientific Revolution had ended, and they faced technological stagnation or at very least a decelerated rate of progress.

Technology

Culture
Gladiatorial Fighting= As per the martial tradition of Drakodominatus, they commonly engage in to the death matches with all manner of creatures they have capture in pits, even the richest of Drakodominatus do this. A favorite past time of Vrayz Martz is fighting prisoners from other places and defeating them with ease. The creatures that the leaders of the Tyranny fight in this range from the smallest prisoner up to the most exotic monstrosities brought forth from every corner of the empire from giant hexapods to saurian monsters which haunt the memories of all but the hardiest of races. Gladiatorial arenas are built mainly on Demogorgon Prime, and it is truly a spectacle to watch a Drakodominatus or now a Dominatus slay these nightmarish beasts.

Academic Competitions= Though by any standards the Drakodominatus Omega is still incredibly strong, they prefer to engage themselves in exercises that do not test the body, but the mind. The competitions are very diverse and varied among all Drakodominatus space. They cover a plethora of subjects, all the way from hyperdimensional physics all the way to theoretical artificial intelligence. This is also shared by other Drakodominatus and now Dominatus as they gather from the Tyranny to do Empire Wide Mathematical Olympiads, Cryptographic Olympiads, Physics Olympiads, and the list just goes on. This sport is about as popular as any one involving physical activity.

Shogun=

The Tyranny's version of Go, however instead of being on a two dimensional board, it is on a three dimensional expanse of a 25 *25 *25 grid. This is played by Dominatus of all forms, as they seek to assert their intellectual dominance over each other, something seen as important as physical dominance. This game is mindbogglingly complex with seemingly infinite ways the game could turn out. This guarantees that each game is different from the last, as the two titanic intellects of Dominatus wage war across this 3 dimensional grid. Mathematically, to many Dominatus, this game is utterly fascination and many seek to formulate the ability to have an equation that will allow them to be unbeatable in it.

Grosslavier=

The foremost musical instrument in the Tyranny, essentially a pipie organ fitted to the size of the Dominatus. Practically all Dominatus know how to play this instrument to some extent, and many are composers for it. The incredible range of harmonies and notes is truly majestic when it is played. Some say that the sounds of a full orchestra are created when this incredible musical instrument is played by a virtuoso.


 * -|Running=

A Race The Drakodominatus are a species of inhuman killing machines, massive colossi who are composed of muscle and brains. A species that has the strength to beat an Epic in a boxing fight, and incredible endurance to the extent of being inexhaustible for most endeavors due to their physiology. It takes an incredible amount of activity to begin to tire them out due to their metabolism, and it is nigh impossible to beat them in a physical contest.

They go around the galaxies challenging differing species to a contest of physical aptitude with unmodified Drakodominatus. Every time, they have won. This however, changed when they challenged the superhero like and undefeated Fordanta to one of these contests.

Wanting to assert their physical dominance onto one of the most respectable and biologically powerful species of the First Gigaquadrant, the Drakodominatus challenged the Fordanta to a race. This race however, did not take place over one hundred meters, nor even a hundred kilometers. This race took place on a moon in a Drakodominatus System that looked much like ancient Terra, but had a circumference of 10,000 kilometers. That, of course was the length of the race.

The race contestants were Fordanta Champion Runner and Drakodominatus Champion Runner Mitzvehquntz. Mitzvehquntz arrived to the adoration of the all Drakodominatus crowd, being cheered on by the citizens of the Tyranny. Mitzvehquntz had never lost any physical contest before, be it boxing, wrestling, or running. He had run across this moon multiple times and had never lost a single time, and had always run at his maximum speed all throughout, leaving his competition in the dust.

The Fordanta Champion Runner did not receive such a reception, being jeered at by the crowd and being insulted by Mitzvehquntz while he made his way to the starting place. Instead of reacting to these insults, he merely stood quiet. “My feet will do the talking” the Fordanta reasoned. Mitzvehquntz laughed at what he perceived to be the aloofness of the Fordanta, and as they reached their starting positions, he whispered, “You are Dead Meat”

When the whistle blew off, the Drakodominatus and the Fordanta both took off and had soon accelerated to a full sprint. For the first time ever in Drakodominatus History, both runners were neck and neck. This continued on for the endless kilometers that followed, whenever one runner took the lead, the other runner followed up soon after, closing the gap. There were times when there were a few meters between both of the runners, with the Drakodominatus always in front, and the Fordanta always came with a surge of energy that allowed them to be neck and neck again.

This continued for the thousands of kilometers in the race, both runners still running at a full sprint, and the Fordanta was no longer booed by the Drakodminatus crowd, and was indeed gaining their respect. They had already run for such a long time, but none of them were showing any signs of relenting. It was an awe inspiring sight, the two species running at the speeds, that others could only dream of having in their vehicles, and over incredible distances.

With the thunderous thud of each foot on the ground, the runners got closer to the finishing line, having run an untold amount of kilometers without and rest at all and at full sprint. However it seemed, Mitzvehquntz was getting ahead of the Fordanta, if only bit by bit, and at the point 9900 kilometer point, the Drakodominatus was 100 meters ahead.

It was here that the Fordanta remembered that they never went down without a fight, and that he had to put these braggarts in their place. He remembered Forda, he remembered his kin squad, he remembered his guild, and with energy that seemed to come from nowhere, he gradually increased his speed.

Both contestants were nearing the finishing line, the Fordanta almost having caught up to the Drakodominatus, and even though he had almost closed the gap, it seemed that Mitzvehquntz was still going to win. For the first time in the entire race he let out a roar, and screamed “A Fordanta does not go down without a fight!” and to this he increased his speed even more.

The contestants both seemed to have reached the finish line at the same time, as the timer indicated they had both arrived at the same microsecond. However, the Drakodominatus crowd called for more precise measurements, and it was unveiled that the Fordanta had won, by 1 nanosecond. The Drakodominatus, had lost.

The Fordanta, was instead of being booed, being cheered on by the Drakodominatus, and said “It was an honor racing with you” to Mitzvehquntz.

The Drakodominatus replied ”Though honor is a foreign concept to us Drakodominatus, the honor was mine”.

Courtship= Love amongst Dominatus is a matter settled by cold hard genetics. A Dominatus's genes are encoded with the identity of the other Dominatus that the said Dominatus can breed with. Once both Dominatus come into contact, they feel an incredible love for each other created by their enzymes and hormones that makes them "fall in love". The said pair of Dominatus is then married, and spend the time not training, studying, fighting, or researching is generally used for breeding in order to compensate for the low birth rate. However, even though a pair of Dominatus will breed with each other 50% to 75% of days in the year, they are only able to produce an offspring once every 10 years. Dominatus are also not able to fall in love with any other Dominatus except the ones they are chemically encoded for, much less any alien.

Food= Food for the Dominatus is defined by bipolarity. There are two types of Dominatus food, one from Nifl, and one from Muspel. The food from Nifl is characterized by incredible bitterness that is able to numb anyones tongue in a few bites. The meat however, is very succulent and tasty, as it is only the aftertaste that numbs the tongue. It is presented very nicely in an organized and deterministic fashion, and is a favorite of Medusa Heimdall. The food of Muspel is the complete opposite, and is incredibly spicy yet also tasty. The spice of these foods is only possible due to the endemic flora and fauna on Demogorgon Prime, and is a favorite among many Dominatus, such as Angrus Mortarius. However, it can be used to strip paint for other species or as a weapon, and for anyone other than the Dominatus is a health hazard, as it is somewhat corrosive to non Dominatus. Surprisingly, the only thing both have in common is that they generally leave one's tongue dead.

Architecture= The architecture of the Dominatus is surprisingly good for a race most people would call brutes. However, on closer inspection, it is some of the finest in the First Gigaquadrant. This is due to the fact that the mathematical mindset of the Dominatus calls for functions and fractals that although are technical as a basis, manifest themselves as beauty for most organic creatures. The shapes most of these take are twisting tendrils and eldritch shapes which all have a very organic feelin from the outside. However, there are rather cyclopean and non Euclidean geometrical aspects that dominate Dominatus design. Most buildings are made from either marble or gold substances in the inside, although for combat structures, functionality comes over aesthetic when materials are chosen. This does not however, change the distinctive black and gold trim of all Dominatus ships.



Economy
The Tyranny is an autarky and is considered an industrial juggernaut by the rest of the Gigaquadrant. At the peak of the Mirus Campaign, the Tyranny had an industry capacity that was comparable to that of the entire combined Anti-Dominatus Coalition, which counted most of the Gigaquadrant's foremost powers as its members. This enabled the Tyranny to keep its industrial warmachine running until the very end of the Great Tyranny War and enabled them to hold out for as long as they did against the rest of the Gigaquadrant.

"It is in nature that the strong remove the weak, for that is how evolution plays. The strongest become stronger and even more powerful, but they must also act without mercy lest the weak topple them without warning. The Dominatus Tyranny works in this fashion; Existence is an equation to them and every variable is an integer that must be factored. Do not be fooled into believing they will show mercy or honour, for that is a weakness. The strong prevail over their weak, and lead by their ever-imposing tyrant the Dominatus themselves desire only to become ever stronger. At any cost."
