The Military Forces of the Xynar Dominion serve as the primary defense and expansionist arm of the Xynar Dominion, a highly disciplined and technologically advanced insectoid civilization encountered during the YSS Resurgence's missions in the Concordia Sector. The Xynar military is composed of well-coordinated and strategically minded units that prioritize efficiency, loyalty, and the survival of the Dominion above all else.

Their forces have demonstrated formidable capabilities, including fanatical soldiers, powerful warships, and unique weapons designed to suppress enemies and maintain control over conquered systems.

The Xynar Dominion’s military evolved from early hive defense forces into a galaxy-spanning war machine designed to protect their species from external threats and secure new resources. Over centuries, the Dominion has perfected the art of war, combining ruthless tactics with advanced technologies.

During the YSS Resurgence’s exploration of the Concordia Sector, it became evident that the Xynar were actively expanding into uncharted regions, seeking to secure ancient Aetherian Progenitors technology to strengthen their position in the galaxy. Their military doctrine is shaped by the belief that survival can only be achieved through preemptive action and total control over potential threats.

Their first significant encounter with Yamataian forces occurred when the YSS Resurgence away team ran into them while investigating a planet. This marked the beginning of a tense conflict between the Star Army of Yamatai and the Xynar Dominion.

The primary mission of the Xynar military is to:

• Defend the Dominion from external threats.
• Expand the Dominion’s territorial influence through conquest.
• Acquire advanced technologies to maintain superiority.
• Suppress internal dissent and maintain order within the Dominion.

The Xynar military views any outside civilization as a potential threat and takes proactive measures to neutralize perceived dangers before they can materialize.

The military forces of the Xynar Dominion are structured in a rigid, hierarchical system. Each rank and position is earned through merit and efficiency, with promotion dependent on performance in battle and loyalty to the Dominion.

• Hive Command - The central authority overseeing all military operations. Each Hive Commander reports directly to the ruling council of the Dominion.
• Strike Legions - The primary combat forces, organized into battalions. Strike Legions are responsible for planetary invasions and defensive operations.
• Fleet Command - The naval branch of the Xynar military, tasked with space combat and maintaining control of key systems.
• Engineering Corps - A specialized unit responsible for technological development, including weapon and armor design, shipbuilding, and Progenitor research.
• Medical Corps - Medics like T'karr, encountered by the YSS Resurgence crew, are part of this corps. They adhere to a strict code of honor, akin to the Geneva Conventions.

The soldiers of the Xynar Dominion are fanatically loyal to their cause, often displaying a willingness to self-destruct rather than be captured. Xynar personnel fall into several distinct categories:

• Standard Infantry - Clad in dark green armor, Xynar soldiers move in disciplined squads of 3-5 and display exceptional tactical coordination.
• Heavy Troopers - Equipped with heavier armor and weaponry, these soldiers are deployed in critical engagements to provide overwhelming firepower.
• Engineers - Responsible for maintaining the Dominion’s infrastructure and developing new military technologies. They are often seen repairing ships and crafting advanced equipment.
• Medics - Despite their brutal tactics, the Xynar respect the importance of preserving life within their ranks. Medics are trained to prioritize survival and have been observed adhering to a code of honor when treating enemy combatants.

The Xynar military is equipped with a variety of sophisticated weapons and armors designed for adaptability and resilience.

• Combat Armor - Angular, dark green suits with modular systems for different battlefield roles. These suits are often integrated with self-destruct mechanisms to prevent capture.
• Energy Axes - Melee weapons carried by Xynar heavy troopers. These axes emit a crackling energy field capable of cutting through most materials.
• Plasma Rifles - The standard-issue firearm of Xynar infantry. These weapons are capable of sustained, high-energy plasma fire.
• Dimensional Disruption Devices - Experimental technology that the Xynar are believed to have developed from Progenitor research. These devices can destabilize dimensional barriers, allowing for advanced tactical maneuvers.
• Armored Vehicles
• Hover-Tanks

The Military Forces of the Xynar Dominion were introduced as antagonists in the Resurgence Of Yamatai RP as part of the ongoing narrative exploring the Concordia Sector and the legacy of the Aetherian Progenitors. Their inclusion highlights themes of xenophobia, technological escalation, and the dangers of unchecked militarism.

This article is intended to provide background information for players participating in the YSS Resurgence campaign. The Xynar Dominion is a persistent threat in the Concordia Sector, and future missions will continue to explore their motivations, tactics, and connections to the Progenitor civilization.
