In 2028 the planet earth is subjected to 'The Announcement' a message from beyond earth, one that heralds the dawn of an interstellar age and humanity's ticket to the cosmos and all it offers. There is a catch however, value must be earned in a game and humanity does not even know what it is yet.   22 years later and the reverse engineering of the probe has grown earth's technology by leaps and bounds. Resource consumption is not the problem it once was and new innovations in learning and management have allowed the population to stabilize leading to earth's golden age.   And yet the package delivered by the messenger probe still has not given up its secrets. By this point the people of earth have begun to wonder if they should even bother trying to join the intergalactic community, their protection was assured and things are fine as they are now. The package which in the beginning was fawned over by the scientists recruited by the United Countries of Earth is now studied when time allows by the professors at Unity University, the higher learning center attached to Edu a small city filled with schools built for the children of those who work for the world government.   It was on a chilly August saturday that one of the professors did something no one had thought to do in the 22 years since the announcement, a seemingly inconsequential action culminating in humanity's first introduction to 'Dominion', the galaxies platform for its economy, politics and culture. Humanity thought they were on the cusp of a golden age... they were not even close. The game rewards they would find were far beyond anything they could have ever imagined. And all because one professor brought his son to work.   Join Zen Tanaka as he and other pioneers like him unlock the secrets of Dominion.   (Didn't make image)
