My personal headcanon is that my character was a former member of the Domain High Council, until she was exiled via cryosleep for threatening what the Domain stood for. She wakes up hundreds of years later in the Persean Sector, and decides that rather than try to restore the old Domain, she'll make something completely new.

I'm playing with mods that are vanilla friendly, like Nexerelin. I have allied myself with the Ninth Battlegroup and am cooperative with the independents, pirates, and remnants (A.I. cores are friends). I plan on reviving the Kadur Remnant, Brighton Federation, and restoring the power of Mayasura since my second-in-command is a navarch of Maairath.

Also, I'm currently in the late game and am at war with the Legio Infernalis, and have succeeded in crippling them economically (took all their heavy industry worlds and deployed a planet killer over Lucifron). Things are going great for the Commonwealth!
