Shadows of the Dark Side/Zsinj Dominion
Contents
Politics[edit]
Relations with the True Empire[edit]
Agents and armed vessels up to corvette size from the True Empire are permitted to travel and operate in the Dominion, as long as they keep Zsinj informed of their presence and activities.
Ships[edit]
Zsinj's Fleet[edit]
Most of Zsinj's fleet consists of older Victory I and II-class Star Destroyers, though a scattering of Imperial I and II-classes are also present, mostly in the hands of smaller warlords who have chosen submission to Zsinj rather than destruction at his hands.
Super Star Destroyer Iron Fist[edit]
This ship serves as Zsinj’s flagship and mobile capital.
TIE/sk Striker[edit]
The TIE/sk atmospheric fighter, also more simply known as the TIE Striker, is a streamlined TIE variant identifiable by its horizontal high-speed wings and large central pod. Though specialized for in-atmosphere missions, the design retains the spaceflight capabilities of the rest of the TIE line. When first assigned to pacify the restive planets of the Quelii oversector, Zsinj made a point of equipping his fleet with Strikers instead of standard TIE fighters.
NPCs[edit]
Warlord Zsinj[edit]
The most successful of the numerous Imperial naval officers who resorted to warlord-ism after the death of the Emperor, Zsinj earned the rank of Grand Admiral for his successful pacification of restive elements in the Quelii oversector, notably including the Mandalorian resistance led by Bo-Katan Kryze. Zsinj achieved victory by suborning some of Bo-Katan's followers and having her subtly poisoned before he issued a challenge for the Darksaber. With her abilities impaired, Zsinj was able to defeat her and claim the ancient Mandalorian symbol.
Despite his flamboyant mannerisms, Zsinj is a skilled and pragmatic tactician and strategist, and maintains the loyalty of his people by recognizing and rewarding competence.
Brigadier Baron Rébas Hejaran[edit]
As a nobleman from the Tapani Sector, Baron Rébas Hejaran shares with Zsinj both a home region and a flair for theatrics, and can often be seen gesticulating to his troops with his lightfoil.
Commodore Taina Felso[edit]
Taina Felso's lack of political connections to the patronage networks of the Imperial Navy might have significantly hurt her career, if she hadn't fallen into Zsinj's orbit, where her skills caught his attention. Now a commodore in command of a small flotilla, she is intensely loyal to Zsinj.
Kae Wren[edit]
A veteran of the Clone Wars-era Deathwatch, Kae Wren followed Bo-Katan into rebellion against Maul's Shadow Collective after the death of Pre Viszla. Kae Wren is a Mandalorian patriot, not to say supremacist. Together with her husband Tra Viszla, she struck a bargain with Zsinj to betray Bo-Katan in exchange for rulership of Mandalore and the right to expand Mandalorian territory as part of Zsinj's campaigns of conquest and pacification.
Tra Viszla[edit]
A veteran of the Clone Wars-era Deathwatch, Tra Viszla followed Bo-Katan into rebellion against Maul's Shadow Collective after the death of his kinsman Pre Viszla. Tra Vizsla is a Mandalorian patriot, not to say supremacist. Together with his wife Kae Wren, he struck a bargain with Zsinj to betray Bo-Katan in exchange for rulership of Mandalore and the right to expand Mandalorian territory as part of Zsinj's campaigns of conquest and pacification.
