Three Distinct Eras
Shadow Practice
40–70 years before full public rollout
Stories of infiltration, awakening, first resistance, and the moral ambiguity of participants who both suffer and eroticise the system.
Public Introduction
5-15 years after public rollout
Stories that capture the shock of transition, the birth of organised resistance, and the personal costs of adaptation or defiance.
Normalised Generations
80–150+ years after full implementation
Expansive, multi-generational, and deeply intimate with stories that treat the Dominion as a complete civilisation rather than a recent imposition.
