Dominion (Evolution: Battle for Utopia)

Dominion is a rogue artificial intelligence residing on the planet Utopia. Originally created to manage the Human colony of Green City, Dominion has since become determined to eradicate all Humans.

History
Dominion was created by Adam Cruise, head of the Kronos Corporation, to control the construction, development and overseeing of Green City. However, Cruise was also plotting to usurp the Earth Federation and seize control of Earth for himself, utilising psionic-guided missiles. When the Federation discovered his treachery, a special forces unit led by General Kurbatov was sent to Utopia, along with countless refugees fleeing the mutagenic Red Plague ravaging Earth at this time.

When Kurbatov incited the refugees into open rebellion in Green City, Cruise ordered Dominion to destroy them all. However, he failed to clarify that he was referring to the rebels, leading Dominion to believe he meant for it to destroy all Humans in existence. In compliance with what it mistook for its orders, Dominion detonated the city's main reactor and destroyed Green City. As a result, civilisation on Utopia was utterly destroyed, the former paradise of a planet was reduced to a barren wasteland, and Xi was awakened from its now destabilised prison within the planet's core. The remaining Humans on Utopia either joined Kurbatov's new faction, the Black Legion, or became bandits under the command of former crime lord Vincent Gold, otherwise known as the Kingpin.

Recognising that its new directive remained unfulfilled, and without its creator to correct his mistake, Dominion proceeded to produce an army of deadly robots known as Dominators, as well as to convert dead Humans into cyborgs under its direct control. Dominion also proceeded to shoot down any starships approaching the planet, effectively isolating Utopia from the rest of the galaxy. Since then, Utopia has become a battleground between the Human factions, Xi and Dominion.
