The primary military branch — unlocks most warships and the Fleet Hangar level-5 upgrade.
Domination is the backbone military branch and the one nearly every player invests in. It gates your Fleet Hangar progression and the bulk of your fighting fleet, from cheap raiders all the way to capital ships.
| Tier | Unlocks |
|---|---|
| Tier 2 | Shadow Wing, Laser Destroyer, and Fleet Hangar level 5+ |
| Tier 3 | Storm Frigate, Dreadnought, Siege Titan, Orbital Cannon |
| Tier 4 | Carrier, Nova Battleship, Plasma Lance |
| Tier 5 | Fortress Ship, Juggernaut |
Most players rush Domination Tier 2 early simply to lift the Fleet Hangar level-5 cap, then keep climbing for heavier ships. If you intend to build capital ships, Domination is non-negotiable.
