The Avias Dominion, typically referred to as the Dominion, is the name for all the territory in control of the Avias: a warrior race created by the Forerunners to combat the Flood Horde. Led by the deranged monitor, 757 Lasting Birth, the Avias seek to eradicate the Flood and any potential hosts, which means the sentient galaxy at large. However, there has been very little contact with Galactic Federation due to the Flood being the superior enemy, with the exception of a few scout vessels.
