History
X'yr Vharn'p was discovered by a human bounty hunter vessel chasing a small pirate Vox fleet in 2399. The extent of the battle is unknown, but the bounty hunters did say is that the vox used this system as a store for their stolen goods. The name of the system was discovered to derive from the Vox word for Hidden Treasure - "X'yr Vharn'p". In 2408 an ambitious explorer re-discovered the system within local star archives and after a long study of the system financed and formed a colony on the planet 'Moroz 'now known as Dominia.

At the time, the only major settlement was Nova Luxembourg which mostly prospered in its independent, if reclusive society, forming the Constitutional Moroz Republic.

in 2438, the colony, lacking in true military units, was attacked by a vessel crewed by an ambitious unathi pirate clan and the former government was quickly overthrown. The unathi promptly replaced the government with what resembled a classic unathi hierarchy, introducing their religious concepts. In 2444 the unathi clan leaders were overthrown by a rebellion formed from a hybridised human/unathi religious order which went on to found the 'Holy Tribunal of Moroz' and the Empire. Unathi and human citizens live side by side as true citizens where as other aliens are largely considered second class.

Synth Relations
''"I'm real! Just like any of you! Please God save me! I'm real!" Last words of Shell IPC T2332 aka Lì Olesk before permanent shut down, praise God.''

Dominia is highly anti-synth, as such any and all IPC's are sought out and destroyed upon entering Dominia space. Interestingly to observers, there seems to be a disproportionately high number of shell IPC's present in the sector compared to those beliefs. Special task forces have been set up under Section 0 to tackle this perceived threat to Dominia yet it is still not unknown for shells to flee the system in search of protection.
