The DOG were an NPC affiliation introduced in year 195 in the cluster. The Clans had finished there war with the humans and needed a new enemy to face. For the next 2 years the CLN & DOG would be at each others throat.
Imagine a future where your entire race is held prisoner in a single alien colony. Not a great picture but this was the prophecy the DOG brought with them. In a few hundred years the Clan would supposedly take over the entire galaxy, killing billions and enslaving the rest. Held in the CLN colony Gomorrah in the Nexus system were descendants of the Dominion. In a daring revolt several hundred prisoners managed to escape, recapturing there ships that were being dismantled in the colony starport. Once again there were free humans openly resisting the clan domination of the galaxy, but what could a few small ships do against a fleet of thousands of huge Clan warships, other then hide? For weeks the rebels hid from there pursuers, repairing there ships and locating other free life forms that could help them. Then out of no where a unknown race offered them the chance to go back in time, when the clan was still in its infancy and change the future. They opened up a wormhole in time which the newly formed 'Demons of Gomorrah' traveled through.
Unfortunately the wormhole did not take the DOG as far back as intended. It was planned to send them back to a the time when the CLN had only just arrived in the cluster. The CLN would be very weak having lost most of there technology during the evacuation and there numbers would be small. However when exiting the time wormhole in the space square of Antioch they were immediately encountered by several CLN picket ships.
The DOG realized something had gone wrong but were unsure where to go. Pursued by the CLN for the next few weeks the DOG would make several stands in Skye and New Sussex, however all this lead to was the destruction of many of there ships. The DOG fleet had been made up of around 20 Battle Cruisers and Frigates by the end of the month there were less then half left.
Luckily the DOG found there descendants the DOM in the Lucifer system and convinced them to hide there ships. Soon the CLN gave up the chase and the DOG were able to repair there ships, build up there strength and re-acquaint themselves with the galaxy. Upon hearing there fate in the future the DOM were more then happy to help and collected loads of information on CLN shipping. This allowed the DOG to begin Pirate tactics in the hope of weakening the CLN empire. However it was not long before the CLN realized the DOM were aiding the DOG and the situation escalated into open conflict between them. Unprepared for such an onslaught the DOM were forced to leave the Cluster. This left the DOG with no one to help them. For the next year they would continue there pirate activities, occasionally setting up a colony to perform repairs, build equipment and gathered food, they were never able to set up properly as the CLN would find them and force them to move on. By mid 197 the CLN had pushed the DOG back into Onward, seriously damaging there last Frigate. The DOG fleet formed in the hope of repairing there last capitol warship before the CLN found them. Unfortunately the CLN had tracked the ship and a fleet surrounded them, unable to escape the DOG were annihilated. Ironically they were destroyed in the system which they first appeared.....
And so the DOG is gone, only leaving a terrible prophecy and a few drifting derelicts within CLN space. One of these Derelicts was scanned in the space square of Antioch as a "Spider warship". unlike the other DOG ships it appears very organic and alien, could it be the ship that opened the wormhole? No one will know as the ship was disintegrated by the CLN to prevent it falling into the wrong hands.
Latest News:- the CLN's are defeated, the combined forces of the DOM and DEN have defeated the Clan alliance, only a few colonies remain. The CLN have agreed a surrender and are in the process of dismantling there empire. Could it be that the DOG were successful and by harassing the CLN prevented them from getting stronger and allowing other races to build up to defeat them? Or by warning the DOM they were able to ally with other races to stop the Clan.....
Just in:- A new Bast race like the CLN has appeared in the galaxy, the Felini race is here, what if they are the race that takes over the galaxy? The DOG could have got it wrong?
Abilities:-
1) All DOG ships have advanced Fighter capabilities, All fighters perform at double normal standards.
2) The DOG operate human ships and humans can operate captured DOG ships keeping the fighter ability.
3) The DOG used Battle Cruisers 11/29/10 & Frigates 20/58/20
4) The DOG had the ability to cloak for a short period of time so they could escape any pursues, It is believed to be similar to the FET ability to cloak for 6tu's per turn, but don't quote me on it.
