Biography

A Scoundrel's Spark in the Neon Galaxy

Dmitri von Black, Dominic's sire, held a gilded leash tight around the House's legacy. Coruscant sprawled beneath their opulent spire, a playground for noble scum and velvet-lined deals. From opulent Naboo silks to shimmering Kuat blasters, the family fortune pulsed with galactic glitter. Yet, when Dominic's grandfather shuffled off into the Force, Dmitri cast away the finery for something coarser: spice and souls.

Dominic, heir to this tarnished empire, watched from the gilded cage of tutors and etiquette lessons. As his father plunged deeper into Hutt deals and bacchanalian revelry, his mother withdrew to the shadows, their love a fractured shard in the opulent wine goblets. Locago the Hutt, a slimy Jabba wannabe, became Dmitri's closest confidante, while Dominic yearned for escape.

On a Year 5, Day 251, the year etched in the scar he received during a brutal swoop race, destiny roared into his life. A gift from his father, a sleek S-swoop, became his chariot away from gilded facades. He plunged into the underbelly, the chrome heartbeat of swoop gangs and smoke-choked taverns his newfound symphony. Ryll, the spice that painted stars red in his vision, became his siren song.

Then, on his 18th rotation around the Core, he met him. A Mandalorian, scarred and steeled, eyes that held the glint of a thousand distant suns. Dominic saw a path, a chance to forge his own legacy, not one built on spice and slaves. The House disowned him, his father's fury a sputtering echo as he roared away on his S-swoop, the Outer Rim beckoning with the promise of redemption and rebellion.

Mandalore

Little is known about Dominic's life between Year 7 and Year 14, it is said he visited many worlds along the Outer Rim, as well as many hidden systems, fighting alongside his brothers-in-arms, his "Vode". During these years Dominic learned a lot of skills, mostly about war through strategy and tactics, Weaponry and explosives, but he also learned vocational skills such as languages, and labored skills such as Mining and industrial science. During his vocational training he learned Mando'a, Huttese, and Sith, no one knows how Dominic learned Sith and he's never talked about it. Dominic is undergoing several vocational arts to learn several other languages such as his ancestral family Homeland of Hapes.

Early in to Year 14 Dominic joined the Mandalorian Government of Mandalore. He was full of pride and had great hope in his stay there. It was there he met a friend, Mesh`la Daryc, who would later become a member of his House. He joined Mandalore hoping to better himself in his Culture and his Militaristic way of life. He opened a Tapcaf called the Oyu'baat while within the Government.

Due to stagnation, Dominic left Mandalore to venture off on his own into the Galaxy. He remains peaceful ties with the Government and even offers assistance when he can.

From East Ghost Nebula

The call of wanderlust, that restless yearning for exploration, beckoned. So Dominic bid farewell to Mandalore, the threads of friendship and duty still strong. In the glittering nebulae of the East Ghost, he sought fortune, to fill his pockets with real currency, Dominic entered an agreement with Pirate Captain Avicii Tempah to join his Pirate group Ellipsis. Here he met another friend, the second-in-command Uli-ah Gafsa. It is unknown at this time to what extent or work Dominic engaged with in with the Pirate Group Ellipsis or why he left. This part of Dominic's life came to an end when he Killed Avicii in cold blood, and the betrayal of Twin Suns Captain Uli-ah Gafsa by the remaining crew.

Life in Phu

Dominic started contracting for the House Kain around the end of Year 14. He started at the bottom hauling materials for the Mecrotica Conglomerate. During this time Dominic participated in Operation Nexus, in which Mecrosa personnel visited the Systems: Leafar and Otunia. They began laying the foundation for cities that were later traded for military technology in the form of eight Strike-Class Medium Cruisers, some later gifted to their allies.

It was through this work he was approached by House Ismay and House Kain about joining Black Sun. In this time, and of the time he was a member, he climbed the ranks of both Mecrosa and Black Sun under his friends and brothers Alexander von Ismay and Dac Kain. Dominic never set foot outside the Phu Sector except for one time to enter Black Sun Space, it was during this time the Underlord Alexander von Ismay demanded tribute from Mecrosa but was declined by both Dac Kain and himself. Dominic rose to the position of C-2 Underboss and was granted the title of Shadow Lord before resigning his post. This was the first time he had broken his Oath to Black Sun and continues today to influence him.

Life in Phu continued as normal within its borders as Dominic continued to cement his place as his brother’s right-hand man. Soon after leaving Black Sun many reports years later coming out of them were that his older brother Alexander von Ismay and his cronies ripped off Black Sun and evaded capture. It was then that Dominic voted with House Kain to renew ties with the struggling government and provide aid. The most immediate result was the gifting of the exclusive New Republic technology in the form of squadron of RZ-1 A-wing Interceptors.

It was months before his exile that Dominic chose to take a hiatus from Mecrotica. Choosing instead to aid his Black Sun allies in whatever capacity he could. Having joined their government, he had almost finished prospecting an entire planet for them before his brother Dac Kain returned to him with a final plea for a return to Mecrotica. This was the second and last time Dominic had broken his Oath to Black Sun, this decision will later be remembered by Dominic as a mistake he should never have made.

Shortly after returning to Mecrotica things began to unravel. Dominic purchased Express Enterprices owned by Teresa Rowley. Many of her group had petitioned his House for membership as retainers. Dominic took the majority into House Black, asking House Kain to fully compensate Dominic for his efforts in exchange for dedicated employees from Express Enterprices. Mecrotica’s economic growth was stagnating when they were petitioned to finance the entire merger, but Dominic was only given half of what he payed for Express Enterprices. While the justification for this is unknown, it is notable that there was no guarantee the employees of Express Enterprices would actually work for their new financier.

This was the breaking point between Dominic and Mecrotica’s relationship. He was formally dismissed under the suspicion he was plotting to usurp House Kain’s control over the Conglomerate. Immediately following said dismissal, Dominic was assured free and safe passage from Mecrotica-controlled space and into exile. However, a desperate assassin known as Alessandro de Caito a known Mecrosa Enforcer tried to intercept Dominic onboard his Dreadnaught-Class Heavy Cruiser 'HBS Ner Manda'. Having not found the man aboard, he slaughtered all the personnel and stole hundreds of items and weapons that were stashed within the warship’s armoury.

Alone and broken, an exiled Dominic von Black left the home he loved for unknown territories.

Unknown Rehabilitation Facility

Year 20 saw the baron isolated away in a deep space rehabilitation center built by his House for emergency uses not such as this. This costly sum of the expenditure is still unknown to this day but it is rumored that the baron funded many corporations and investment plans for this kind of treatment, an Insurance Plan if you will.

Return Home

Dominic von Black returned to the Phu Sector in Year 21.

Year 24, Dominic is a member of the Mecrotica Military Industrial Complex that spans many sectors and systems. His work in aquiring and producing military technology has advanced the Congolomerates agenda over Trade in their territory.

Vices

Around the middle of Year 19, Dominic submerged himself into a tank of super concentrated form of Ryll. The overdose almost killed him. He checked himself in to rehabilitation shortly thereafter supervised by Doctor Spree Razzix his House's Concierge Doctor.
