It's time for Ascendency to move to its next phase: Dominion
The Terran Dominion:Through the eyes of the Eskel and Lemurian peoples, the Terrans can only be described as being one thing: abominations. Their Dominion in the Milky Way Galaxy spans several hundred light-years and is ruled ruthlessly by a miniscule upper-class. Only members of this upper-class can be considered completely human. The lower classes are forcibly altered with cybernetic components for the purpose of unreciprocated servitude to the Elite. The primary Terran workforce is composed of human-machine hybrids--their heads are severed, and replaced with an advanced self-contained processing unit that controls the body in the manner that it is ordered. While the bodies of the people composing the middle class are mostly intact, cybernetic implants installed in their brains continually flood the mind with addictive chemicals--as long as their work is satisfactory to the Elite.
Dominion weaponry consists of extremely potent particle cannons that can rip through magnetic plating in seconds. In regards to their spacecraft, they seem to pay tribute to unknown deities, as symbols, hieroglyphics, and pure gold geometric shapes plaster their outer hulls.
Little else is known about the Dominion, except for this: they threaten the very core of all human civilization in the Large Magellanic Cloud.
And they must be stopped--at any cost.

Terasat -- I like how this gas giant turned out. It's nice to have a gas-band cloud layer to work with.
