The Quarren Dominion

History of the Quarren Dominion

The Quarren Dominion was founded as an independent gouvernment after the First Order's victory over the Galactic Alliance on Mon Calamari by a league of Quarren warlords, who would eventually form up the Triarchy. A successor state of Quarrenese culture, which would declare its dominance over it's Mon Calamari citizens originally, the Dominion would establish military doctrines in the imagery of the Galactic Empire in order to ensure that the reign of the Triarchs was unopposed.
The concept of the Quarren Dominion was however the idea of one of the Triumvir's advisors... C'Thyl.

While born on Mon Cala, the identity of the Quarren, who would later be known as C'Thyl was taking shape within the deepest trenches of Morjanssik before he would murder his mentor and flee towards the stars into the Unknown Regions. On his journeys, C'Thyl was driven by an entity to which he only refers as "The Voices", the gods that guided him. These voices would lead him to ancient places like the Sith Worlds and to other planets, unknown to the rest of the galaxies, before he would also make his visit towards the Rhandite enclaves.
The Sorcerers of Rhand and those, who followed their doctrines would become his followers, the foundation of what would later define the Quarren Dominion. Over these years C'Thyl amassed power, obtained knowledge from followers of the Way of the Dark until he became a master of the Dark himself, ready to create an empire.

After decades, C'Thyl eventually returned towards Dac, where he would gather more followers among the worker-classes within the deep trenches, elevating scum into military positions while conducting his force experiments upon those, who willingly gave themselves up just to serve the Prophet. With manipulations and under the disguise of a mere preacher, C'Thyl became a prominent figure within the warlord council, eventually gaining enough favor after the Battle of Dac to become alongside Khell and Rolahc the first elected Triarchs of the Quarren Dominion.

With the first step being made to obtain power, the Prophet would proceed to create his first gods, Sithspawn being enhanced with power worthy to rival the one of the ancient Sith Leviathans. Among his first creations were the Terror of the Deep Shaxad and the Lurker in the Dark Vh'Atle, two of his deadliest minions.
At the same time efforts were made by the Dominion to increase it's war machinery, as new spaceships of the MC-line and Quarrenese designs were created. The Sorcerers had managed to build up the base for their own armada before they would proceed with the construction of larger ship designs. Additionally an alliance bargain with Darth Malvus and the Blackguard Reborn was made.

Over the course of the next months, the Prophet would furthermore make a pact with the darksider race, known as the Amphi-Hydrus, in order to ensure that his growing domain was administrated by like-minded individuals, who would enslave the minds of others. The negotiations would result within a coalition between those two powers as in return the Amphi-Hydrus would become the secret administrators and commanders of the Dominion's dark society.

With the construction of the first Recusant-Dreadnaughts of the Dominion, major worlds like Abraxin would get subjugated by the cultists and formed by the image of the cultists. Unopposed, the Quarren Dominion's fleets would spread over the far eastern Outer Rim borders towards the borders of Hutt Space, starting even the first expeditions towards the Maw. Among these observed worlds is also the Lothal system, which would later be influenced by the shemes of the Sorceress K'yahla in order for her to bring it into the Dominion's fold.

The Battle of Jabiim would mark the first major military encounter of a world with the Quarren Dominion. Although it was mostly a ground battle, the Dominion managed to subdue the militia's main army at the Monsoon Mesa by the means of unnatural horrors and advanced military technology before they would make their move upon Choal, the capital of the planet. Eventually the Jabiimi gouvernment was forced by the Prophet to surrender, ending the siege over Choal.
Jabiim would eventually become the Dominion's main mining world and training center for a new generation of Dominion troopers.

The months afterwards trade deals with the Hutt Space and Bactoid Armor Workshop were established, while slave shipments would be sent towards the occupied Dominion worlds and its secret shipyards. Brief encounters with the Dominion would occur on Thyferra and Bothawui while an alliance bargain with the Corruption was struck. Furthermore alliance treaties between the Solenbaran Diarchy and the Quarren Dominion were made despite horrors plagueing the Diarchy, that were loosely influenced by the Dominion.

Eventually the events on Jabiim would bring up resistance from the elites of the Dominion as the Triarch Rolahc and Khell conspired with a majority of the warlords against C'Thyl, attempting to arrest and kill the Prophet. The plot failed and would serve as C'Thyl's reasonable excuse to usurp the Dominion fully as it's last remaining Triarch, blaming the Quarren warlords for having developed a super weapon that was build with the intention to destroy Dac.
Ironically and unbeknownst to Dac's population this super weapon though was constructed by none other by C'Thyl itself, who would unleash the Dominion's first build Subjugator-class cruiser upon the rebellion's New Pammant-station in order to erradicate any further resistance against the Prophet's rulership.

Dominion forces
Common troop types of the Quarren Dominion

Generals:

Dark Sorcerer of Dac:

Following the Cult of C'Thyl, those mentally trained adepts in the Way of the Dark have tapped their force powers completely into a mental abyss, believing in the coming of the Old Ones. Acting within the shadows, these powerful cultists serve within the inner circle of the Prophet and have proven their loyality towards him - unlike the Sith and the Dark Jedi the Dark Sorcerers of Dac do not tolerate betrayal as they work towards the greater goal, attempting to ascend into a higher being. Though some of them were former Sith and Dark Jedi, who willingly surrendered to the Prophet's will, a new generation of young Acolytes is forced to learn the secrets of the Dark within hidden facilitieson the planet - only few of those force-sensitive candidates survive the procedure though.
Most of the sorcerers are fanatics and driven mad by the means of their indoctrination - though only few of them are worthy to earn C'Thyl's trust, a few of them serve the Dominion.

Roles: Dark Side users, who follow the Way of the Dark, skilled within mental domination; act most of the times as commanders or guardians of C'Thyl and the Dominion superiors
Weapons: Various, mostly a dagger or other ritual weapons - trusting in their mental strength, they rarely wield a lightsaber
Force powers: Dark Sorcerers utilize mostly force powers, which allow them to either manipulate the minds of others or to hurt other individuals by the means of abilities like for example force lightning. Unlike the Prophet though only few of them are capable of mastering these powers.

Variations: Dark Acolytes - weaker versions of the Sorcerers, padawans in training. Weaker than the regular sorcerers.

Amphi-Hydrus:

Amphi-Hydrus are amphibious beings, native to the swamp areas of Dac. Although they are considered as small and weak, these frog-like creatures possess the natural ability of manipulating the minds of others telepathically by means of the dark side, therefore being naturally force-sensitive.
At some point during the reign of the Galactic Empire the Amphi-Hydrus dominated Mon Calamari before their forces were driven back by the Imperials. Hoping to reclaim their former status as souvereign rulers over the Mon Calamari and Quarren, they waited for a new chance in order to achieve this supremacy, while being rewarded so by the Quarren Dominion in exchange for their mental abilities.
Acting as captains of the Mon Calamari cruisers, Amphi-Hydrus within the service of the Dominion are trained within tactical fleet combat in order to keep the ship crews and soldiers aboard in line, while also learning about regular space combat tactics. With few hundreds of volunteering Amphi-Hydrus at their disposal, the Dominion seeks to achieve synchronized attacks upon anything which opposes the might of their ships, allowing them to be capable of more unusual maneuvers, similiar how the Dark Jedi Joruus C'baoth coordinated major portions of Grand Admiral Thrawn's fleet in combat.

Roles: Fleet commanders, who support the Dark Sorcerers aboard the Quarren Dominion's space vessels in order to enhance the destructiveness of their fleet; sometimes acting as generals during planetary invasions though from safe distance
Weapons: rarely, as the Amphi-Hydrus trust within utilizing other beings for their own safety - they will avoid direct confrontation with an armed opponent at any cost
Force powers: Telepathic mind controll over other beings

Dominion Sentinel:

Serving as the elite bodyguard of the Triarchy, the Dominion Sentinels were created by C'Thyl as loyal bodyguards via Sith Alchemy, similiar like the more famous Imperial Sentinels under Palpatine's Dark Empire. Utilizing the lightsabers of fallen Jedi and Sith alike, these guards would only only obey the Prophet and his closest advisors, being controlled over a Nihil smokestone reciever. Although C'Thyl solely chooses the most potential force users, volunteerly offering their services of the blade towards the Prophet's cause, many members of this guard are sometimes Jedi, who had been forcefully indoctrinated and reprogrammed to solely serve the Dominion and the Dark.

Roles: Skilled bodyguards
Weapons: a lightsaber, the kybercrystal most times being bled forcefully into a dark red, if taken from a jedi
Force powers: minimal to no force powers

Commando Troops:

Ommog-Class War Droid:

With researching new droid technology, Mechu Deru experiments upon multiple droid types are performed by the Dark Sorcerors in order to create the perfect killer machines. The Ommog War Droid, also refered to as the Ommog Destroyer is one of the deadly results, combining the dark side of the force with a new type of war droid.
Being around the size of 4 meters with its tentacles, the Ommog Destroyer acts as an enhanced battle droid, capable to move on land, underwater and within space freely in order to hunt down any opposing life form or vehicle. Armed with an arsenal of drillheads, sharp claws and plasma cutters alongside its ten unique tentacles, the Ommog Destroyer can break through metall hulls in a similiar manner as other sabotage droids in order to cause havoc among the battlefield, acting most of the times as a frontline unit in order to break a path through durasteel walls. In order to eliminate any threat or obstacle from the distance, the head of the Ommog is additionally armed with a Pulse Cannon, which pulverizes infantry and smaller vehicles quite easily.
Although protected by a similiar shield emitter as the droidekas, Ommog War Droids need to deactivate these briefly in order to fire their Pulse Cannon, turning them briefly into a glass cannon against heavy weaponry. Protected by durasteel plating, Ommog War Droids are able to withstand regular blaster fire for a long time, but struggle against explosive weapons and more powerful laser weapons.
The Dominion thus deploys the Ommog mostly either on battlefields with narrow corridors or within safe distance from larger vehicles and weapon plattforms in order to avoid its destruction within open terrain. Furthermore one Ommog Destroyer can be stored within a Droch-Class boarding ship instead of the regular passengers in order to sabotage an enemy cruiser from the inside, making it the perfect space trooper.

Due to their krakenlike design, the Ommog is faster underwater as it adapts the movement pattern of an octopus, making it a feared mechanical predator even below the surface.

Roles: Acting as an all-terrain frontline destroyer droid, capable of decimating enemy infantry forces effectively and penetrating the armour smaller vehicles; sabotage and siegebreaking
Weapons: Ten clawed durasteel tentacles with drill heads and plasma-cutting torches, Shield Emitter, Pulse Cannon beneath the head

Elite Troops:

Deep Ones:

With the Cult's activities on Dac, citizens report an alerting increase of suspect aquatic beings, which tend to have unnatural features compared with members of their regular species. Although differing in appearence, most of these individuals tend to be of a hulking appearence, strong enough to overpower most regular people easily. An increasing number of these so-called "Deep Ones" is mostly sighted within the underwater city of Morjanssik, acting as the muscle of the cultists.

Unknownst to the regular population of the Dominion, these former members of Mon Calamari society are converted Sith spawn, mutated long enough within hideous dark side experiments in order to create a fish-like predator, obedient towards those, who follow the Dark solely. Although modifications upon these being are varying, most Deep Ones go to several stages of their life cycle until they reach their final form as a brute mutant, capable of overpowering most other beings. With their drop in intelligence most Deep Ones degenerate to wild predators, which attack their targets with sharp claws and a thick skin, making them even a fearsome opponent for common soldiers due to the unpredictable nature of these beings. More intelligent beings of their caste tend to utilize regular weaponry though.
The size of Deep Ones varies from regular height of their normal species up to at least 3 meters. Some Deep Ones are rumored to exceed this size category, but their sightings aren't really confirmed.

Roles: Brute unit, attacking enemy frontlines in order to break through enemy lines - fights both in melee and from the distance
Weapons: Sharp claws, sometimes regular Dominion Trooper equipment (see Dominion Trooper)

Standart Troops:

Dominion Trooper:

With the militarization project of the Quarren Dominion, propaganda of the Triarchy and newest reformations of the national army lead to the creation of the Dominion Troopers, the regular type of soldier within the new gouvernment. Wearing black uniforms, conscripts of Dominion Troopers consist of both the Mon Calamari and Quarren race. The rank system is similiar to the one of the Galactic Empire, while officially the Triarchy is within the high command of the Dominion's army. However, corruption within the ranks of the Quarren bureaucracy, due to C'Thyl's influence and the establishment of the Amphi-Hydrus' regime over the military branches dictate the actual loyality of the Dominion's standart ground forces, opening the eyes for many naive recruits during the time of their harsh and brutal training. Since curious comrades tend to vanish from one day to another when investigating too much in terms of the new doctrines, regular soldiers and officers alike, fear of the unknown keeps most of the Dominion Troopers in line.
Yet a lot of troopers were former criminals and scum from the Quarren and Mon Calamari cities, giving them a new purpose in life wheras the regular population barely realizes the travesty of what Dac's main army has become.

Although the Dominion Troopers are technically the main army of the Quarren Dominion, they fight most times at the backlines on open battlefield, leaving the dirty work to the Dominion's mercenaries and various unleashed horrors upon the battlefield. Dominion Troopers are trained in a similiar fashion as the Imperial Stormtroopers of the Galactic Empire, making them nearly as competent as their Imperial counterparts.

Roles: Standart military unit, national guard, regular soldier
Weapons: Spear Blaster , R-303 Elite Marksman pistol , 2 Thermal Detonators

Variations: Dominion Assault Trooper - normally carries a RH-1 missile launcher instead of the spear blaster and an additional thermal detonator
Dominion Jumptrooper - utilizes a Jetpack for special operations
Dominion Incinerator Trooper - wields a Oppressor flamethrower instead of the spear blaster
Dominion Officer - has a Mon Calamari battle baton instead of the Thermal Detonators

Dominion mercenaries:

Consisting mostly out of mercenaries and scum, recruited from Abraxin and other regions of the Outer Rim, a majority of the Dominion's military consists out of mercenaries, paid by the Quarren gouvernment and local warlords. Although having a more questionable loyality, these mercenaries make good cannon fudder for the frontlines of the Dominion and its cultists, while allowing their main armies to operate more ruthless. Yet greed and the expectation of good payment drive these warriors to their extremes, making them also the perfect candidates for the "Deep One" transformation, should they survive.
The Dominion's mercenaries mostly consists of Barabel conscripts due to Abraxin's annexation, but it isn't unheard of other races being featured among their ranks.

Roles: Standart military unit, often utilized to break through frontlines.
Weapons: Nearly everything in terms of blaser weapons or other ranged weaponry.

Dominion Aquadroids:

Created originally by the Techno Union, the 2.83 meter long Aqua Droid was an advanced type of battle droid, capable of fighting on land and underwater at the same time. Equipped with a retractable laser cannon, these forces would serve as the first frontlines of the Quarren Dominion in order to cause damage to both enemy vehicles and soldiers alike. Although the Aqua droids aren't mobile during land assaults, they would act more agile within aquatic terrain, making them an actual threat within naval fights.
With the conquest of Jabiim and the acquiring of more rescources, Aquadroids would see mass production while being coordinated by the Dominion's sorcerers from orbital ships. With most of the droids having recieved a programming by the Sorcerer's engineers, their behavior tends to be ruthless towards regular beings, escalating often without any controller or sorcerer.

Roles: mass-produced frontline droid
Weapons: Retractable Laser Cannon

Dominion vehicles

Common vehicle types of the Quarren Dominion

Supreme Class Vehicles:

Krabbex-class Mobile Fortress :

Having been developed as a successor to the Acklay-class Mobile Fortress, the Krabbex-class combined the durability of the original walker with the fire power of a mass driver cannon, similiar to the one of an AT-TE. Capable of breaking through the most durable defences with its main cannon, the Krabbex-walker furthermore features 4 heavy laser turrets and a docking bay for 12 amphibious Light Class Vehicles at the bottom of the vehicle. It is operated by a crew of 12 men and can carry additionally to its cargo 30 additional passengers. The Krabbex furthermore features a corrupted droid brain as a support unit in order to ensure for the Dominion that the Mobile Fortress doesn't fall into enemy hands and to allow the pilots additional help on locating targets.
It is named after an extinct predator, who once roamed the oceans of Mon Calamari.

Heavy Class Vehicles:

Acklay-class Mobile Fortress :

The Acklay-class mobile fortress, known less formally as Acklay Battle Fortress, was an underwater walker which acted as a mobile command base for Imperial Army forces loyal to Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire. The Acklay-class was named after the Acklay of Vendaxa and apparently modeled after the appearance of the creature. The battle fortress was armed with an array of laser cannons, including a large double cannon that branched off of the elevated bridge of the craft. Furthermore it provides a docking bay on the bottom of the craft, providing space for a squadron of Light Class Vehicles.

Crab cannon :

The crab cannon was a large piece of artillery fielded by the Quarren Isolation League, and the Confederacy of Independent Systems in turn, in their battle with Mon Calamari and Republic forces. It was a gigantic aquatic walker with crab-like legs that could climb even vertical underwater cliffs. A manned control center was situated on top of the vehicle, while defensive laser cannons were placed around the central weapon.
To fire its main gun, the walker had to stand still on horizontal ground, due to the immense recoil from firing the destructive, yellow beam.

Medium Class Vehicles:

Krakana underwater fighter:

The Krakana was a one-man fighter for use in the waters of Dac resembling a sea creature with a large tailfin for propulsion and four laser cannons shaped like pincers. The craft was armed with six laser cannons, two near the center of the ship, and four others attached to the limbs stretching off the sides of the craft. They were named after the deadly Krakana, an aquatic predator on the world.

Niggurath Crab Walker - NCW:

With 15 meters in size the Niggurath Crab Walker serves as a vicious frontline walker, armed with two twin blaster cannons and a rocket launcher, capable of launching 4 missiles at once.
It serves as the main line tank of the Quarren Dominion.
While being capable of combating other vehicles in his class, it can cause tremendous damage on the opponent's infantry, similiar to an AT-ST, making it perfect for breaking siege lines on nearly every terrain. Like most Dominion tanks the Niggurath Walker is amphibic, though build in a way that its computers can fully function if the main cabin is flooded.

Artillery Crab Walker - ACW :

Around of the size of 10 meters, these crab-like artillery vehicles were developed to break even the most fortified places and targets from long distance. Armed with a heavy laser cannon, the ACW needs some time to deploy on solid ground opposed to it's repulsorlift movement. Surprisingly the ACW is piloted by a droid brain solely, making it therefore rely heavily on exact coordinates. ACWs are therefore most times accompanied by either trained soldiers and their officer in order to guide and protect them or are directly controlled by their Amphi-Hydrus commander.

Light Class Vehicles:

Manta droid subfighter:

Originally developed by Haor Chall Engineering, the Manta droid subfighter was utilized by the Confederation of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars and is now mass-produced by the Quarren Dominion for naval warfare. The craft was equipped with 2 Laser cannons and 2 torpedo launchers, featuring 12 torpedos as armament, in order to destroy its targets, being coordinated by a droid brain.
The sleek torpedo-like droid body was capped in front of a large wedge-shaped diving plane. The forward edge of the plane had an electromotive field, that when merged with repulsorlift-driven supercavitation vectrals incorporated into the subfighter's design, resulted in a very fast and surprisingly maneuverable underwater vessel. The twin barrels recessed in the plane sport laser cannons or torpedo launchers, and a few models even featured articulated barrel assemblies that allow both types of weapons on the same fighter.

Mini-sub:

An aquatic version of the MVR-3 speeder bike, the mini-sub, adapted by the Xi Char cathedral factories, saw action in underwater battles during the Clone Wars. It featured one laser cannon as weaponry and is utilized for underwater assault, serving often as a patrol vessel of local Dominion troopers on an aquatic world.

The History of the Dark

To understand the ways of the Dark, one must know that the Way of the Dark is not refering to the Dark Side of the force, but to an older philosophy,
older as the Quarren Dominion,
older as the teachings of Lord Cronal, a sorcerer of Rhand,
older than the Galactic Republic of old.

A follower of the Dark does not diffentiate between the forces of Light and the forces of the Dark,
for his main desire is the constant state of entropy and destruction.
This is the will of the universe, for it is the only universal reliable constant, as no empires are eternal,
no reign lasts forever
and no civilization can last forever.
An initiate was taught that if one made destruction his primary goal, with whatever scheme he was taking part in being a secondary objective, then the Dark would effectively reward the initiate for the devastation caused by pushing the secondary objective to success.
A follower of the Dark creates to destroy; if they lost sight and continiued the creation, they were most likely destined to fail for it goes against the very principles of the Dark's philosophy.
The One truth, that only the true disciples of the Dark know and realize is that everything, even the Force, is fleeting and destined to fall to entropy at one point within the galaxy. It solely is the duty of every follower of the Way of the Dark to fasten up the process to end all suffering, for there is no hope of denying the true nature of the universe!
So THEY have commanded it, for THEY are outside the cycle!

The Sorcerer Cults

Before the Rhandites rose to power, there were three individual groups of followers, who would one day form the society, known as the Sorcerers of Rhand.

The Kanzer Exiles were a sentient species of reptilians from the Valtaullu Rift, native to the Unknown Regions. They were fanatically religious, expanding their faith by the mental enslavement of others. They were led by the Lord Ravager Korman Lao, and at some point were able to build a world-sized temple near the Valtaullu Rift.

The Warriors of Shadow were a group of Taung, who battled the Battalions of Zhell in a legendary war on the ancient planet of Coruscant. As the conflict was interrupted by the erruption of a great vulcano, whose ashes darkened the sky the forces of the Zhell were devastated, and the Taung —seeing the eruption as divine providence— named their warriors for the massive shadow of the ash cloud that gave them an advantage over their Zhell enemies.
Although the Warriors of Shadow were defeated and the Taung were driven from Coruscant, their legacy would continiue on as they settled on a world, which would become later known as Mandalore, named after their great leader.

The Knell of Muspilli was a death cult that was originated in the region known as the Gunninga Gap in the Unknown Regions. Sometime before the destruction of the artifact known as the Taurannik Codex in 100,000 BBY, the Knell's cultists transcribed the Codex's contents in hopes of calling forth apocalyptic deities from beyond the Gap.

Despite several battles between these three earlier sects, following one way or another the principles of the Dark, would eventually form the cult of the Sorcerers of Rhand upon the surface of the world of Rhand among the ruins of a long dead species. Having reigned over several clusters within the Nihil Retreat, located within the Unknown Regions, the Rhandites defined the actual philosophy, known as The Way of the Dark. For the Rhandites the Force wasn't a term as they never refered to it, solely confessing themselves to the Dark.
Furthermore, the Rhandites believed that the only relevant feature of the Dark was its response to the will of a properly trained being in line with the Way of the Dark. The Dark set being against being, star against star. It was the hidden energy of the cosmos. The greatest power of the Dark known to the Rhandites was the ability of Darksight. Darksight was the ability to create the future by looking at all the possible outcomes and choosing the one that suited the user best, though the outcome was not guaranteed. Part of its success was determined by the user's alignment with the Dark. Only through destruction could one ally themselves with the Way of the Dark.
Before he became a Prophet of the Dark Side within Palpatine's Galactic Empire Cronal was a member of the Sorcerers of Rhand.

Though not alligned with the Way of the Dark another Sith order, known as the Sorcerers of Tund was also a notable sect, being highly skilled within the arts of illusion, deception and shapeshifting, wearing solely concealing robes. They are rumored to be pure-blooded Sith exiles from Korriban, who eventually founded their own society upon the planet of Tund, where they believed in "the Unity" of the Force, as in an omnipresence of the Force.
Unlike other Sorcerer cults, the Sorcerers of Tund eventually succumbed to their madness, eventually causing the order to perish by the deceit of its last members and their downfall.

With the knowledge about these former cults, C'Thyl had recruited in the years before the creation of the Quarren Dominion many among the Rhandites within the Outer Regions, studied the history and lore of its three forming sects, while also learning the secrets of the Sorcerers of Tund in order to follow the command of the apocalyptic deities, that torture his mind daily.

The Sorcerers of Dac are a union of several cultists from previous sorcerer cults, who do not believe in the petty rivalries among darkside users and rather wish to finish the job, which previous sects had started.
They follow the principles of the Kanzer Exiles by enslaving others mentally by the meanings of the Force,
they follow the principles of the Shadow Warriors by utilizing ways of destroying their opponents in unexpected ways,
they follow the principles of the Knell by attempting to summon forth eldritch horrors and other apocalyptic deities, that seek to bring entropy to the galaxy,
they utilize the methods of the Sorcerers of Tunds in order to perfect their skills of illusion and deception
and they follow the codex of the Rhandites by accepting the Way of the Dark as the only true path to freeing the universe from its shackles.

From uniting the teachings of past followers of the Dark philosophy, the Prophet of the Quarren Dominion hopes to achieve the final goal,
allying himself up with forces, even the petty Sith lords would abstain from allying, for even the Quarren Dominion is just a tool, a plattform to sacrifice some day volunteerly, once there is a chance offered to destroy the entire galaxy as a whole, bringing end to all life, including his own.
The Sorcerers won't tolerate treason or any fights within their society, for the grand scheme of ending the universe matters more than temporary possessions and temporary power.
Sith Lords like Palpatine, who solely expanded their realm in order to let it stagnate, leading them eventually to their downfall, are dispiced by the Sorcerers of the Dominion and only proof to them the failure of the Sith's path.
Although they are not hostile towards the Sith and will honor their agreements, the Sorcerers of Dac are fully aware that they will have to fight one day against these rivals, once they have dealt with the Jedi, for anything else would contradict the Sorcerer's philosophy.
In the end all has to end within entropy.
While only the Outer Gods, who dwell outside the cycle of life and death shall remain upon the hollow husk of a silenced galaxy.

The Dominion's society

The Military forces

Dominion Troopers on Jabiim in full armour

Even before the fall of the Triarchy and C'Thyl's reformation of the political system, the politics of the Dominion were mostly defined by it's military and police forces. Orienting themselves by the role model of the Galactic Empire and its successor states, the first Dominion military troops were trained quickly from the ranks of the Quarren warlord's soldiers by the rough ideals of Stormtroopers alongside other scum from the worker classes of the Quarren underwater cities.
Although the regular Dominion Trooper isn't necessarily rich, the funds which went into the military straight after the fall of the Galactic Alliance made the military career nontheless a lucrative job for food on a daily plate was guarenteed and so was monthly payment. The more lucrative side though is that despite the otherwise organized army structure corrupt actions were rewarded by the gouvernment. During the siege of Jabiim a good portion of Dominion troopers was allowed to sack the local villages with the order being granted by the Sorcerers.

While formerly the Quarren chieftains and warlords held command over the military, the actual commanders of the Quarren Military consist of Amphi-Hydrus and Sorcerers, who give their generals the main orders for upcoming battles.

Commanded by officers, platoons within the Dominion are structured like the ones of the Imperial army with a legion featuring 8,000 men, divided into four cohorts of 2,000 men. A single squad is usually 8 soldiers, wheras platoons of 16 soldiers are more likely to encounter on the Dominion's regular city patrols.
While the Dominion Troopers seem fairly organized, their mercenary counterparts from Abraxin and other worlds from which they were hired are far more unorganized, operating either in small groups up to 12 men or on a larger scale with 24+ member squads. Depending on whether a warlord was recruited by the Dominion it is not unlikely to encounter a garrison of hundred mercenaries within a Dominion-controlled town, featuring their own unique rank structure.

With droid reinforcements of Aquadroids and other mechanical horrors backing up the lines of the Dominion Troopers, any average soldier has the right to command a regular ground forces droid, if it doesn't recieve orders from a controllship or any other device, which would coordinate it in battle. Some droid classes like the Mechu-deru enhanced Ommog War droid though operate on their own and would only recieve orders from regular soldiers, if told so by High Command.
Similiar to the mechanical creations of the Prophet, the Dominion's Sithspawn in form of the Deep Ones and other monstrosities is technically in terms of ranks below the rank of higher ranked Dominion sergeants, yet in actual fights the Dominion Troopers don't bother too much with their primitive allies and just hope that they will rather gut out the limbs of their enemies rather than their own.

Although the regular military goon within the Quarren Dominion isn't aware of the Sorcerer's and Amphi-Hydrus force-sensitive abilities nor their darkside nature, the military forces are better informed about the actual state in which the Dominion is currently than the average citizen. Although it isn't a problem for most soldiers, as they benefit from their overlord's powers, the presence of a secret society of force users and their mutated pets atop the Quarren military has often resulted in officers and naval commanders to either get brainwashed, demoted or executed by their superiors, thus making way for more loyal individuals, which didn't bother on any morals nor whom they served as long as they guarenteed them their coin.

Carried by these ruthless inviduals it is thus no surprise, that the Quarren Dominion currently is having their own cloning programs in an attempt to create better loyalist forces, that would obey their commands without hesitation. Though currently Spaarti cylinders are utilized to create a maniac brute force for the next assaults upon Jedi worlds, other test tubes on Mon Calamari and Jabiim experiment with more stable trooper samples, based on the genomes of the Dominion's best soldiers.

The Naval forces

Like the military forces within the Dominion, the Quarren Navy consisted of former captains, loyal towards the warlords or remnants from the Galactic Alliance who were either brainwashed or forced into duty, at first believing that the cause of the Quarren Dominion was a just one.
Several aspects of the Navy got reformed, when C'Thyl made a pact with the native Amphi-Hydrus in order to get this dark force user race into every area of Dac's society as the unseen puppet masters, who would controll everything.
Among the major sectors of command the Dominion Navy is a prefered career among the Amphi-Hydrus administrators, as they can utilize their mind-manipulating force abilities from a safe position in order to create a battle-meditated fleet, that has the potential to outmaneuver an otherwise equal opponent ship in battle. Most captains and bridge officers don't even know that the Amphi-Hydrus exist nor that they recieve commands from those toadlike aliens, which prefer usually to remain a grey eminence behind all these efforts. On some ships though the Amphi-Hydrus give directly orders towards loyal crew members, as the Dominion Navy trusts like the army only those, who would do anything for the Dominion that benefits them as well.

The Quarren Dominion possesses with the Mon Calamari Shipyards and the Pammant Dockyards two of the most influential shipyards among the eastern Outer Rim sectors, utilizing their capacities to their full potential. With the occupation of Abraxin and Jabiim, the mass production of larger Recusant-Class ships, known as the Recusant-Class Dominion Dreadnaught and the Interitus-Class Destroyer indicate the rough direction with what kind of vessels the Dominion wishes to subjugate the galaxy.
Following similiar principles like Palpatine did during the reign of his Dark Empire, the core of the Quarren Dominion's fleet consists of heavy dreadnaughts and Star Destroyer-sized ships in order to support the more massive Subjugator-line ships on their campaigns. Like the Empire the Quarren Dominion wishes to instill fear upon the sight of their fleets within the galaxy, while maintaining a focus on large battleships, supported by a swarm of smaller ships.
Most MC line ships within the Dominion serve as carrier ships for countless swarms of starfighters and dropships, while offering also a strong defense due to the nature of Mon Calamari shield engineering.

While spacefights with Dominion ships usually result in a more savage approach of naval warfare, the Dominion's tactics of making their opponents fear them also include boarding vessels in the form of dropships and Sabertooth-class assault vessels. Once these ships break through the shields of an enemy starship, a boarding party of Dominion troopers and mutated horrors begins to decimate the enemy crew from within, making it even tougher to counter these aggressive fleet tactics.

Overall the Dominion Navy can adapt to many strategies, making them an unpredictable foe within space battles as well.

The Dominion's administration and society

An Amphi-Hydrus administrator

With the Dominion formerly being a society in which the most influential warlords of the Quarren would hold the office of the Triarch, one among three equals, who would guide the Quarren nation into a glorious, expansive future, this structure has been mainly changed into the last remaining Triarch holding all the power, being backed up by the remaining warlords on paper solely.
To maintain this horrific dictatorship, where darkside users and other Sithspawn horrors could act unseen from the eyes of the regular being, the Prophet had installed the Amphi-Hydrus into the three main branches of a planet's gouvernment: The military, the navy and the administration.
Amphi-Hydrus within administrative positions and other manipulative cultists ensure that the local population is convinced of Triarch C'Thyl's will to protect them from the unknown threats, that have befallen Dac after the fall of the Galactic Alliance.
Most of this propaganda comes down to outside forces like the First Order being the cause of those recent monster sightings, forcing the Quarren military to also overtake police duties in order to keep its citizens safe.

At the same time the administrators also ensure that the regular middle-class and especially the lower-class population benefit from financial payments and offers like conscription into the armies, better paid job as slave overseers and other boni, that would make the regular individual not question the rightfulness of the Quarren Dominion as a true successor state towards the Galactic Alliance.
To fill the gaps, that would needed to be filled in order for the Dominion being capable of maintaining its military assets, the employment of slave workers from foreign worlds, which the Dominion raided is utilized in order to benefit the own citizens.
Those, who disobey the system are also likely to become slaves within the merciless wheels of the Dominion's production lines, thus allowing the Prophet also to get rid of any minor opposition before a rebellion can form up.

Most slaves of the Quarren Dominion come from foreign worlds like Hutt Space or from within the many star systems inbetween Mon Calamari, Jabiim, Lothal and Abraxin in order to keep the own population happy, while taking advantage from foreigners, who neither know the gouvernment or aren't aware of how they could possibly attack it by its weakpoints.
The slave trade between Hutt Space and the Quarren Dominion has become even more lucrative after the First Order's abolishment of slavery within the First Order's territory, re-routing most of the trade either towards Mon Calamari and it's loyal subjects directly or to the Solenbaran Diarchy, where the Quarren Dominion can guarentee the slavers free passage through their territory for the right prize.
Some cloning projects of the Dominion even tend to focus on cloning additional slaves for the workforce, should the capacities not be filled properly.

Thus the economy of the Quarren Dominion is slightly stable, although the worth of Calamari Flans has decreased in comparison to the Imperial Credits after the fall of the Galactic Alliance. Though not a backwater world, C'Thyl's ambitions to somewhat maintain a financial balance while indebting the state require the means of massive wars in order to justify the tremendous costs of the Sorcerer's projects.
It is thus no surprise that future attacks of the cultists might also target the banks and stock markets of the galaxy in order to maintain the Dominion, while at the same time bringing more turmoil into the galaxy.

The Dominion's territory and alliances

With the Quarren's thirst for expansion and the Sorcerer's needs to maintain their war machine, the subjugation of planets is within the Great Plan a necessary boon.
Although the doctrines of the Quarren Dominion pretty much aim towards creating a massive empire, that is destined to decay on it's climax, the worlds under Dominion controll are laxly guarded, as the majority of people can leave and enter their worlds easily under the allpresent eye of orbital cruisers and dreadnaughts, that eerily roam the system. The Sorcerers mainly strike at major movements within their sectors, ignoring single individuals, that hold no significance towards their mysterious plans. That way the Prophet is able of keeping the Dominion's navy as an ever-present military garrison upon worlds, sparsly guarding them while keeping the main armada ready for new targets.

While some planets are more open towards the public in order to maintain the Quarren Dominion's clean image as a legal gouvernment, some worlds like the forlorn world of Abraxin are hostile towards unannounced visitors and are also quarentined systems, where the Sorcerers tend to order the destruction of approaching vessels, given it's major importance as a breeding ground for new force acolytes and new beasts, that dwell within the bogs.
Although only few systems fall under these protocols, these holy sites hold more significance towards the core of the Dominion than their actual industrial worlds.

Systems under active Dominion controll:

Mon Calamari - the official capital planet of the Quarren Dominion, Seat of the Triarchy, main shipyard of the Dominion Navy
- Pammant Dockyards - the remnants of the orbital Pammant Dockyards within Mon Calamari's neighbouring systems serve as a secondary shipyard site in order to maintain the production of more nefarious starships

Abraxin - a holy world under quarentine officially, from where the Dominion's Barabel mercenaries originate. Abraxin's landscape is covered in several temple installations of the Quarren Dominion, where hundreds of future Sorcerer padawans are trained under the gaze of their Rhandite instructors. Several nests of Deep Ones and other horrific creatures are spread across the planet, while within the depths of the planet's chasms the gods of the Dominion are born

Jabiim - the mining world of the Quarren Dominion, recently subjugated within a larger assault. Serves as an outer border world of the Quarren Dominion

Regions within the Maw Cluster - Having struck a mutual deal with the Solenbaran Diarchy, several ships of the Dominion hold still a presence within the Maw Cluster in order to conduct their mysterious expeditions. While the Maw Installation itself is avoided by the Dominion Navy and left fully within the hands of the Imperials and the sector belongs de jure towards the Diarchy, some portions of the cluster are in actual reality under Dominion controll for the length of their research.

Alliances of the Quarren Dominion:

Blackguard Reborn
An alliance contract between the Blackguard Reborn and the Quarren Dominion was forged in the past with Darth Malvus being the ambassador of the whole meeting. The Dominion utilized the alliance agreement in order to obtain access towards the secrets of the Kaminoan cloning technology, given that the world was subdued by the Blackguard at that time.
With the formation of Malvus own Sith covenant and Viox Savage seemingly losing controll over his domain, the alliance agreement is still upheld, although the Prophet has doubts that the Sith might maintain it.

Resurgent Sith Conclave
Given their previous agreements, Malvus and C'Thyl made a further alliance agreement in order to solidify the Quarren Dominion's stance as a darksider faction, that values it's own goals over petty conflicts between the singular Darksider orders.
The deal included the obtainment of Nightcloak satellite remnants over Dathomir in order for the Quarren Dominion to utilize the schematics of this technology for more nefarious tech. In return the Quarren Dominion would aid the Resurgent Sith Conclave within their ambitions to crush the lightsiders within the eastern Outer Rim.

Solenbaran Diarchy

With Tover Mills as the acting emissary of the Diarchs, Triarch C'Thyl agreed upon their alliance request with the Quarren Dominion.
In return for a tech exchange between Imperial engineering knowledge and the designs at Mon Calamari shipyards, the Dominion also granted the Diarchy free access for their ships towards the Maw Installation, stating within the deal, that the Imperials are allowed to utilize the Installation if the Quarren Dominion's navy is allowed to continiue it's mysterious operations within the cluster.
