For centuries, the Celestial Dominion ruled the galaxy with an iron fist, its power anchored by the fearsome Iron Knights, colossal war machines piloted by noble blood. But when Emperor Hadrian V is assassinated without an heir, the galaxy fractures, plunging into chaos as rival houses vie for the throne.

Amid the turmoil, Cipher Varos, a disgraced Iron Knight pilot haunted by betrayal, and Selene Vornheim, a former rebel leader with nothing left to lose, find themselves drawn together by fate. United by necessity, they form an uneasy alliance, navigating a galaxy spiraling into war, where political intrigue and shifting loyalties threaten to consume them.

Yet, in the shadows of a collapsing empire, a far greater threat stirs. Whispers echo from the void, shadows twist and writhe, and ancient darkness awakens. The Shrouded One, a primordial entity of unimaginable power, is spreading its influence, corrupting minds, twisting flesh, and consuming entire worlds.

Desperate for answers, Cipher and Selene journey to forbidden blacksites, confront the horrors of twisted Dominion experiments, and enter the Nihilus Expanse, a place where reality bends, shadows live, and nightmares come alive. Guided by cryptic prophecies from an ancient Veilborn, they must piece together the mystery of the Shrouded One before its tendrils engulf the galaxy.

But even as they fight to survive, they face impossible choices loyalty or freedom, vengeance or redemption, sacrifice or survival. And in the darkness, the Shrouded One watches, ever vigilant, always waiting.

With allies as broken as the galaxy they hope to save, and enemies lurking in every shadow, Cipher and Selene must confront their past sins to protect the future. Because if they fail, all light will fall to darkness.

In a galaxy where power is everything and hope is a forgotten whisper, how far would you go to defy fate?

Sins of the Dominion an epic saga of war, betrayal, ancient horrors, and the struggle to reclaim humanity.

The darkness is coming.
The fight for the galaxy begins.
