Modern Private Military Companies (PMCs) trace their origins back to a group of ex-SAS British veterans in 1965 who, under the leadership of the founder of the SAS, Sir David Stirling and John Woodhouse, founded WatchGuard International (formerly with offices in Sloane Street before moving to South Audley Street in Mayfair) as a private company that could be contracted out for security and military purposes.
The Dominion PMC have continuously provided military combat services (offensive and/or defensive) as well as military training and intelligence. We provide actual security for commercial interests and/or government and planetary coalition interests, close protection of VIPs, risk assessment and risk analyses Since 2013. The first PMC Faction to be set up on Space Engineers. The first Faction on Space Engineers period.
The year now being 2077, we have provided protection for some of the most important people in the universe, patrol the Planetary Coalition boarders, have protected and escorted over 50 Centillion tonnes of cargo and still providing our services with 100% track record.
Our Alliance List is growing in numbers, The groups and servers are all monitored by members from The Dominion PMC and 22 of our closest Allied Groups (names in this coalition group withheld from steam and wiki to keep them protected). All veterans have carefully selected admin rights on each others servers to give a full 24 hour round the clock admin.
Currently installed on her own server, she is available 24/7 through our combined veteran's Team Speak, and with a plethera of voice activated commands (as well as single keyboard key commands) not only can she communicate across our SE servers with members of the groups informing of incoming threats to help combine our forces,but, coming soon: when activated on our space engineers servers via our scripts, she will be able to move players to and from each server at the touch of a key stroke (unfortunately you don't get to take your ship with you, yet).
With links to Medieval Engineers so you can play both games, for Space Engineers there is also The Marine's Bar, The Officer's Club, The Pilot's Club, The Techies Tavern and The War Room, so whatever way you prefer to play the game, there is a forum room for you.

Friends with Space Engineers servers need your help to keep their ever growing population of pirates, aliens, marauders and baddies at bay, while they undergo repairs, revamp their ships and stations, or just to maintain the peace. You and your fellow members will be protecting and guarding against the ever growing population of baddies that has so many servers bogged down.
Can't join because you're currently a member of another group? We don't worry about members being in other groups, we have lots of groups asking for our help, we can find the right place for you, a place where there is no conflict of interest.
Too busy and can only play during the weekend or just evenings? Not a problem! When you've passed through our basic training and proven yourself in our Battle Zone, you'll always be welcomed back, to participate in the ever growing need of Protecting the innocent and vulnerable on their own servers.
With a full mission brief, statement of facts and Intel, an objective to achieve, and your very own War Room Forum chat room (if you haven't already got one), to call your base of operations, hold your own debriefs and share your collected intel - photographs and videos with your group before each patrol commences.
We are an open faction. We may change our recruitment process as we deem fit. But as of right now, all you need to do is join The Dominion PMC and you're pretty much in.
We have limited spaces available still, if you're interested, join in, prove yourself in the arena's first, and eventually, become the cream of the crop.
But to enjoy the rest of the community to the full, we also recommend joining, our forums and Website
Please note: Role Playing War Room's are all passworded and only members of a certain standard have access (along with the contracting clients).
We now have kind permission to show a couple of the War Rooms (rooms one and two), this is to show potential clients what we are capable of, (obviously the information inside was played on older versions of Space Engineers).

This section is for people interested in the rank structure of the Dominion. Please regard the following ranks for future gameplay.The time when they come into effect is when you might be Role Playing (determining your role in a ship or what jobs you choose to do), or showing your input and help given for The Dominion PMC or how long you've been in the group, or giving people an idea of your areas of focus for the game. But no matter the rank, show respect to everyone.
Space Engineers the game is in alpha, all of the regulations and rules are also in alpha, and can change at any time. I tried my best to come up with interesting and easy rules for our group, I only hope that it'll actually be cool and work in the future. If you have any questions, ask me.
The Foundation's Individual Engagement Grants program launched on January 15. While most WMF grants have so far gone to organizations like chapters, the new program will finance initiatives by individual Wikimedians or small teams to improve Wikimedia projects. The first application period lasts until February 15. During the first two weeks, 31 ideas, drafts, and proposals were submitted. An "IdeaLab" has been set up where draft proposals can be discussed, and applicants can get help to turn their ideas into complete proposals.
On January 22, Wikipedia and all other Wikimedia sites were migrated to the Foundation's new primary data center in Ashburn, Virginia (US). The prior data center in Tampa, Florida had been the main hosting site since 2004; it will remain on standby to take over in case the new data center experiences an outage. The switch worked nearly without any problems. The Operations Team attributes this success to the careful preparation since 2011. This involved reviewing, improving and documenting the configuration of the servers (currently about 885) in a way that has already improved stability in 2012, and will make it possible to set up new data centers much faster.
VimpelCom, the sixth largest mobile network operator in the world, joined the Wikipedia Zero program in January, raising the number of mobile users who are eligible to access Wikipedia without data fees by 100 million, to 330 million worldwide. Among the countries serves by VimpelCom are Russia, Ukraine, Armenia and other countries of the former USSR.
On January 15, the 12th anniversary of Wikipedia, Wikivoyage was officially launched as the newest project of the Wikimedia Foundation. The free travel guide that anyone can edit is already available in nine languages - Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish - with more being added. There are more than 50,000 articles, which are edited and improved by a core group of approximately 200 volunteer editors.
In January, the VisualEditor team worked primarily on reviewing and cleaning up the code that was enabled on the English Wikipedia in December. They spent time with their colleagues in the Parsoid team planning the next phase of development, which aims to make the VisualEditor the default editor for all Wikipedias from July 2013. The alpha version on mediawiki.org and the English Wikipedia was updated twice, fixing a number of bugs reported by the community and making some adjustments based on feedback.
