| - The Charon Dominion, commonly addressed simply as the Dominion, was the highest ruling governmental power in Otherspace, in existence long before the era of the Ruusan Reformation and the dawn of the Galactic Empire. Established well over one thousand years before the Battle of Yavin IV, the Charon Dominion was founded out of the foundations of a fanatically genocidal death-worshiping cult, and was responsible for arguably the most grandiose mass-scale genocide ever known, called the Oblivion Crusades, where the Charon successfully wiped out all known life in the Otherspace galactic dimension over the course of several consecutive centuries. Because the term Charon held dual meaning toward either the species or the people following their ideals and philosophies, the Charon government under the species is often known as the First Dominion, with the reformed government under Human supremacy called the Second Dominion, in order to draw a distinction between the two sovereignties. Very similar to the Sith empires of old, the Charon Dominion was a totalitarian state which was both theocratic and magocratic; the Savant Caste, the religious class of Charon society, holding the highest authority, with the Savant Caste's leader, the Prophet of the Void, effectively being the absolute sovereign. The Savant Caste presided over the judicial and legislative matters of the Dominion, leaving the military, security and enforcement to the Zealot Caste, which were the Charon warriors as well as the military forces of the vassal races. The Zealot Caste functioned as the executive force of the Dominion, although were largely authoritatively inferior to the Savant Caste. The only exceptions to this were the Oracle and the High Preliator, who were considered to be of equal authoritative rank beneath the Prophet of the Void; the Oracle acted as the functioning leader of the Savant Caste beneath the Prophet of the Void, while the High Preliator acted as the supreme commander of the Zealot Caste and military forces, likewise in submission to the Prophet of the Void. For most of its existence, the Charon Dominion functioned less as a centralized government than it did as a marauding military force. The Charon Dominion lacks an economy, a diplomatic corps, any true political infrastructure or internal corruption. The education of Charon youths was completely controlled by the Savant Caste, which shaped and molded all future Savants or Zealots. Voidborn are especially sheltered until fully trained as Savants themselves, and functioned as the "nobles" of society within the Charon Dominion. During the Extant War, the Charon Dominion came into violent contact with several governmental powers of the galaxy in realspace, including the Galactic Federation, the Sith Hegemony, the Galactic Imperium, the Hapes Consortium and the Hutt Dynasty, caused the destruction of several interplanetary governments, including the Centrality Confederacy, the Chiss Ascendancy, the Atrisian Commonwealth, and the Gree Enclave, and subjugated and enslaved such species as the Yuuzhan Vong, the Chazrach, and the Yevetha.
