An eclectic mix of highly accomplished adventurer historians, domain romantics, pre-collapse administrators and admirals pulled from cryosleep and board members of some of the sector's larger salvaging companies, all part of a single faction that (outwardly, at least) is dedicated to the preservation not only of Domain Law, but of Domain Culture. Using a mix of low tech and midline ships, backed up by an impressive collection of techmined blueprints, the DHS provides modest support to the Hegemony, while retaining most of their forces for exploration into the sector, to discover and protect any domain ruins from the grasp of independent salvagers or, indeed, anyone but themselves.

Ships:

The Techmined ships that make up the majority of DHS forces originate primarily from the late mastery epoch and thus possess solid armour and a mostly ballistic oriented loadout. They also tend towards slightly higher speed and agility than more standard mastery era craft, although at the cost of rather uncompromising internals, making it difficult to outfit them with more advanced weaponry.

Major Contributors:

Amazingh:
Implementation of all the fancy systems and weapons I pitched to him, and the whole code side of things.

Vayra:
Getting me started with the modding shenanigans, and sharing a couple of scripts.

Other Contributors:

Nia, Yendorc and HELMUTT for spriting advice, without which would have lead to a rather more ugly mod.

Astarat & Puretilt, Techpriest & Belkie, for getting their own mods done and FOMOing me into finally completing something myself.

Szylva, without which, the mod wouldn't exist, since it originated from me pilfering the design cues from a frigate they did and building a whole faction out of it before redoing every single sprite from scratch.

And everyone else who lurked in the modding section of the starsector discord, shitposting. You're all awful.

When I read techmined ships I think HMI and when I think HMI I think quality.

I like the faction concept and that they're a smaller faction that works with the Hegemony. And I really like the color palette on the ships.

Full release is nearing completion, its mostly polish at the moment, filling out missing descriptions and the like. I've also been working on a set of portraits for release, shown below.

.....i think my first youtube video will be an introduction/how to sort of thing just so i can have this mod in the build LOL
im about to start a youtube playthrough (my first ever) and its going to be indie games and really what got me inspired was doing a playthrough of starsector showcasing the entire "modiverse"

Top right guy gave me 40k Mechanicus vibes, then I saw the alpha core embedded in his chest. Gives me even bigger Mechanicus vibes now, what with them existing alongside the Imperium but doing heretical stuff (and this faction apparently helps Hegemony but does stuff with AI).

The ship sprites are lovely as well, I dig the color scheme.

They're actually named after Bakerloo Line Stations, Hammersmith isn't one of them, I'm afraid.

Sir, could you allow me to translate this mod into Chinese and update it to the Chinese Starsector Forum(https://fossic.org)?
Thank you very much.

Hi, throw a forum moderator message and tell them to move this to the index, It's way too good to be left out of it. I had to go all the trouble of finding the mod page to download it!!
