Thys’sian

The Thys’sians were the primary military troops for the Dominion Imperium. They acted as the combat arm for all Dominion forces in all areas of operations. The Thys’sians were more numerous than the other races of the Dominion, but were kept under control by a chemical addiction bred into them by the Founders.

History
The Thys’sians were a primitive tribal hunter species until the Founders came to their world, impersonating God-like beings in order to cow the Thys’sians into submission. Even then, while they had the populace in their grasp, the Founders quickly developed a chemical that was extremely addictive to the Thys’sians in order to keep them under control.

While they were not adept at producing their own technology, the Thys’sians were very quick to learn how to use new technology and maintain it.
