It is a mod divided into five modules Theory of Toolbox, Vaults of Knowledge, Dreams of Past, Question of Loyalty and Seats of Power. Given sufficient time, effort, and investment, you can harness the power of the relics of the Domain and bring about the end of the 200-cycle-long technological dark age of the Persean Sector.
