The Dominion-class battlecruiser was primarily designed as a pirate hunter and convoy escort, much the same role as the Dictator-class fulfils; though where a Dictator would be sufficient to see off the raiders, a Dominion was designed to be their doom. The cruiser hull and STC was found by Magos Explorator Felicia Jayum on the Demios Forgeworld and the ship went into production straight away. However, this class had a rather inauspicious start to its career, first when the "Light of Faith" and its escorts were driven off from the NC-6/882 system by a small Necron flotilla, and soon after that, during the disastrous Dark Stars campaign, when the "Perseverance" was destroyed at the battle for Echelon. Then the "Ascension" disappeared together with the rest of Commodore Fyne's Battlegroup in the Lockhead system. Yet the tactical analysis of those engagements shows that the Dominions had invariably performed only as best as could be expected from them in such adverse conditions, and had incidentally displayed their potential as fleet support vessels, with their long-range lances and ordnance deployment capability. Thus production of the Dominion-class had not been halted and four ships are currently in active service in the Turbidious Sector; a new "Light of Faith", the "Loyalty", the "Adamant" and the "Righteous Endeavour". Famous ships Light of Faith, Loyalty, Adamant, Righteous Endeavour ---------
This ship I have had and created a long while ago back when I was still in the UK, so around 10 years ago now.
