History

Ghost Bear Dominion

The immigration of Clan Ghost Bear to the Inner Sphere resulted in the founding of the Ghost Bear Dominion in 3060, in a region of space formerly possessed by the Free Rasalhague Republic and the Draconis Combine. During the Word of Blake Jihad, relations between the Ghost Bear Dominion and the remaining Free Rasalhague Republic worlds became increasingly cordial, and in 3103, the two realms officially united as the Rasalhague Dominion.

In March 3076 the Ghost Bear Dominion suffered four raids on worlds close to or bordering the Periphery from Clan Ice Hellion left straggling after the failed Ice Hellion invasion of the Clan Jade Falcon Occupation Zone earlier in the Jihad. The Hellion units successfully raided Holmsbu, Constance and Pinnacle before being pinned down on Damian by KungsArmé forces.[2][3]

The Dominion suffered from a degree of internal turmoil in October 3076 when resentment over the Clan protocols and Trials process implemented as a part of integrating the Rasalhague and Ghost Bear militaries into a Dominion defense force resulted in two clusters, the 2nd Freemen and 1st Kavelleri Clusters refusing to join in the Trials of Position and instead mutinying.[4][5] The Ghost Bears responded by stalling their combat actions against the Word of Blake Protectorate to allow them to return all of the deployed units that were ethnically Rasalhaguian commands back to Dominion space to deal with the mutiny. The various units departed for Dominion space on the 5th of November, and by the end of December the revolt had failed, with the various Free Rasalhague resistance groups in Dominion space going dormant.[5][6]

Rasalhague Dominion

The Dominion is located between the Wolf Clan Occupation Zone and the Draconis Combine, comprising of 71 inhabited systems, with an estimated population of 280 billion people. The executive capitals of the Dominion are located on Asgard and Rasalhague, while the Clan and Governmental Council capitals are located on Silverdale and Alshain.

The national symbol of the Rasalhague Dominion is a white roaring bear head, set against a dark blue triangle. The government is a republic, with Clan warrior-caste styling. The legislative body of the government, Dominion Council, works with the executive, the Prince and the Khan of Clan Ghost Bear. Prince Hjalmer Miraborg and Khan Dalia Bekker are the current executives of the Rasalhague Dominion.
