History
The Order of the Stellar Dominion traces its origin to a handful of convoy captains, surveyors, and combat veterans who grew tired of watching the frontier devour the unprepared. In the early days of UEE expansion into contested systems, these crews saw the same pattern repeat: charts incomplete, escorts underfunded, support ships absent, and civilians left to the mercy of pirates, raiders, and the void itself. What began as an informal pact between captains to share routes, escorts, and fuel quietly grew into something larger—an oath-bound brotherhood dedicated to bringing order to the chaos between the stars.
As their reputation for reliability spread, the group formalized under a single banner the Order of the Stellar Dominion. The name reflected both their belief in a sacred order to the cosmos and their mission to secure the lanes that stitched humanity’s scattered worlds together. They adopted knightly traditions—oaths, ceremonies, and ranks—not as empty theatrics, but as a way to bind wildly different crews, cultures, and backgrounds into a single disciplined force. Over time, merchants, miners, explorers, and even former outlaws seeking redemption pledged themselves to the Order’s code.
Growth brought structure. The Order reorganized from loose wings into distinct regiments, each charged with a facet of their doctrine:
The Auric Vanguard took up the mantle of exploration, pushing beyond known jump points, surveying worlds, and turning the unknown into mapped reality.
The Azure Stewardry became the industrial and logistical heart, ensuring convoys were fueled, cargo moved, and the Order’s fleets never flew empty or unsupported.
Dominion Aegis emerged as the shield arm of the Order, dedicated to escorts, search and rescue, and the defense of allied vessels and settlements.
Through political upheavals, corporate conflicts, and border skirmishes, the Order maintained a careful distance from overt partisanship, choosing instead a clear stance: lawful guardians of the lanes and the frontier. They operated under UEE law where it protected the innocent, and under their own stricter code where it did not reach. Their colors—deep stellar blue and burnished gold—came to symbolize calm authority in the dark: a promise that someone was watching the routes, listening for distress calls, and willing to answer.
Today, the Order of the Stellar Dominion stands as a regimented expeditionary order spread across multiple systems. New Initiates still enter through the Novitiate Cohort, learn the history and rituals of the Order, and choose their path as explorers, stewards, or guardians. The technology has advanced, the maps have expanded, and the enemies have changed—but the core purpose remains unchanged:
To survey the unknown, shield the vulnerable, and sustain those who travel beneath the Stellar Dominion.
Manifesto
We, the Order of the Stellar Dominion, stand for order in the void. Where jump points fracture the sky and trade lanes bleed into lawless dark, we choose discipline over chaos, duty over indifference, and service over self. We are not an empire, nor a cult of profit—we are an expeditionary order sworn to survey, shield, and sustain all who travel in good faith among the stars.
Our intention is simple and unyielding:
To chart the unknown so that others may cross it safely.
To guard the vulnerable against those who prey on weakness and confusion.
To build and maintain the industrial and logistical backbone that allows life and commerce to thrive beyond the core.
Our motives are not hidden. We believe the stars are not a playground for the reckless, nor a feeding ground for raiders and opportunists. Every route mapped, every convoy escorted, every mining run supported is an act of quiet defiance against the chaos that claims so many lives in the gaps between systems. We seek no throne—only the assurance that those who trust in us will find reliability, honor, and protection wherever our colors are seen.
Our view of power is that it is a burden, not a prize. Ships, credits, and fleets are tools entrusted to us, never excuses for arrogance. To carry the sigil of the Order is to accept that your actions reflect more than yourself; you speak for every Knight, Squire, and Initiate who stands beneath the Dominion’s banner. Law, restraint, and professionalism are not constraints to us—they are the framework that keeps our strength from becoming another form of predation.
We believe in heritage and ritual, not as empty ceremony, but as a living reminder that we inherit the consequences of those who came before and shape the safe routes of those who will come after. The void remembers nothing; it is we who choose to remember, record, and improve. Our regiments—Auric Vanguard, Azure Stewardry, Dominion Aegis—embody this commitment: to explore with purpose, to build with responsibility, and to fight with restraint.
To join the Order of the Stellar Dominion is to make a choice:
To place discipline above ego, service above spectacle, and the safety of the many above the glory of the few.
So long as we endure, there will be at least one banner in the ‘verse under which a pilot can say, with certainty:
“Here, there is order. Here, we do not fall alone.”
Charter
These are the public rules by which all members of the Order of the Stellar Dominion conduct themselves, in and out of the cockpit. Acceptance into the Order is acceptance of this Charter.
I. Lawful Conduct
No piracy, slavery, or griefing.
Members of the Order do not engage in unprovoked attacks, pad ramming, stream sniping, or harassment of civilians or neutrals.
Respect for UEE and local law.
We operate as a lawful organization. Where regulations are clear and just, we follow them. Where they are absent or weak, we uphold the Order’s own stricter code.
II. Discipline & Chain of Command
Obey the chain of command during operations.
When deployed, the designated Op Lead and their officers have final authority. Disagreements are handled in debrief, not in open comms mid-op.
Professional communications.
During fleet and combat operations, comms remain clear, concise, and free of needless noise. Soundboards, music, and chaos belong outside operational channels.
III. Conduct Toward Others
Respect within and beyond the Order.
No hate speech, bigotry, or personal attacks are tolerated—IC or OOC. In-character conflict must never be used as an excuse for out-of-character abuse.
Reputation is shared.
Members represent the Order wherever they fly. Public behavior reflects on every Knight, Squire, and Initiate; act with restraint, courtesy, and reliability.
IV. Service & Responsibility
Service above selfish gain.
Ships, wealth, and influence are tools, not trophies. Hoarding at the expense of the Order’s mission or your comrades will not be accepted.
Reliability in commitment.
Real life comes first—but if you commit to an operation, event, or duty, you are expected to attend or give reasonable notice if you cannot.
V. Roleplay & Immersion
Honor the fiction.
The Order is a roleplay-focused organization. Members are expected to respect the lore, atmosphere, and tone of the Order, using IC/OOC markers where appropriate and avoiding behavior that breaks immersion for others.
VI. Accountability
Submit to review and correction.
Violations of this Charter may result in counsel, demotion, suspension from operations, or removal from the Order, as determined by the High Magister and Magisters. Members are expected to accept fair correction with maturity and to grow from it.
By flying under the banner of the Order of the Stellar Dominion, you affirm that you will survey with integrity, shield with restraint, and sustain with honor, upholding this Charter wherever our colors are seen.
