The Dominant was a Victory-class Star Destroyer and the command vessel of Expeditionary Fleet Aurek in Clan Plagueis' Ascendant Fleet.
History
Purchased as part of a fleet upgrade following massive losses in 34 ABY, the Dominant was pressed into service as a secondary command vessel for the Ascendant Fleet's smaller task forces. Typically commanded by the Quaestor of House Ventress, it now operates as the flagship vessel of Expeditionary Fleet Aurek. It served Clan Plagueis loyally in the Ascendant Fleet for years. However, in 40 ABY, during the Fifteenth Great Jedi War, it was captured by The Children of Mortis. The Children then used it in a false flag attack during a summit of several Brotherhood Clans on Cantonica. During the ensuing battle, the Dominant was destroyed.
Role
Serving as the command ship, the Dominant's role is to serve as the central linchpin within Expeditionary Fleet Aurek. Ultimately emulating the general role of the larger Ascendancy, it offers the primary offensive and defensive firepower of the group in terms of payload and tonnage. Capable of absorbing far greater yields of firepower than its accompanying ships and carrying a far greater volume of turbolasers, this allows it to serve as the central point in any formation and trade shots with similar sized or larger attack vessels. Its accompanying ships can each serve in specialized roles, either as more lightly armed escorts or dedicated carrier ships; with their best use being decided by the Dominant's Commodore.
