Royal Sentinels

"When the Sentinels were called to Phaeton, no one stopped them as they mercilessly cut down the Legion-Masters for their crimes against the Dominion. When they came to Iros, we did not suspect them of deception or being of another purpose...we paid the price for our arrogance"

- Phalanx Captain Rani L'Arkon before the Decimation

The Royal Sentinels, known throughout the Dominion as the Hand of Advan were the bodyguards of the early Hierarchy of the Dominion. They were brought into existence following the Formation of the Dominion, and quickly accumulated power through their devotion to the idea of the Dominion rather then the individuals that came to rule it. This ideological behavior has had its impacts throughout the centuries, including one period where the Sentinels had to take power during the Second Dominion to prevent a power vacuum.

As of the Third Dominion, the Royal Sentinels became more of an elite fighting force and sent throughout Adventos to handle insurgencies, mutinies and were the 'opposite to the nobility of the Phalanx' in one remark about the Hand of Advan. By the time of the Cerberus Galactic Conflict, the Sentinels were sent by the Dominion to secretly wipe out the last vestiges of Sovereignty forces in Adventos completely and utterly. This was described as one of the final orders to 'Rid the Dominion of the weak and undeserving of Advan glory' 

Following the end of the Cerberus Galactic Conflict, they would dispatch a force to Cerberus under orders to adjudicate the situation that the Cybros Commanders have won the war, but also lost the war on a tactical perspective. First Sentinel Sh'Hurti ordered and lead the Decimation of the Phalanxes and their officers with the presumed intention to remind them of their ultimate failure, this event was described to have been the peak of their power in the Dominion. The Decimation had weakened the Phalanxes in Cerberus, but were reminded of why they were in Cerberus. Sometime afterwards, the Sentinels were caught in a web of intrigue that brought their prominence and integrity to doubt when rumors erupted that Kr'Roni, believed to be the last living descendant of Advan was revealed to have been in the Sentinel guardianship for centuries. This changed the view that the Dominion, having just risen from civil war turned against the venerated warriors in the Accused Hour, which quickly grew into a massed purge of the Sentinels and forced them into hiding.

It is believed that the few Sentinels remaining have fled to Sovereignty-Space.
