Dominion Soldier

The Dominion Soldiers are the backbone of the Sith Dominion Armed Forces. They operate heavy weaponry, protect cities, construct garrisons and of course serve on the frontlines. Their armor has gone throught several smaller phases, but only one major one where it was changed into a much more Stormtrooper-style armor, yet keeping the soldiers' individuality by having a vizor showing their faces to the public. So the Dominion made sure they were not just another faceless cannon fodder, such as the Stormtroopers were to the public eye. The soldiers were free to modify their armors as they pleased as long as they kept the rank insignia, which was either depicted by several colored dots, triangles or stripes on their chests, depending which Sith they are serving under. It is not uncommon to find higher ranking field officers wearing shoulder pauldrons and kamas. The armor comes in unique styles for each race serving in the Armed Forces.

Mark I
The Mark I Armor is a rather heavy plastoid-alloy armor sporting the Sith Dominion emblem on the back as well as the rank on the left chest. It had the ability to be modified accordingly to the soldier's mission, so it had space to be modified with medpacks, heavy weaponry, tools, etc. It recieved much critique for being too heavy for proper use as well as the lack of proper shielding from concentrated fire. It's HUD was also poorly designed and the commlink was out on the open for a good marksman to blast, so disabling the main command chain, especially if the highest officer's commlink had been shot. It would later be equipped with a better helmet that had a rather good HUD and a covered up commlink. It was still rather unpopular within the Armed Forces and several battles were pinned on poor armor.

Mark II
This design came into use a year and a half into the war, after the Dominion had gotten blueprints of Stormtrooper armor and redesigned it into a much more easily buildable version. This version was taken gladly in by the soldiers and proved itself to be much more effective than the Mark I. The armor was sealed, eliminating environmental threats and the helmet got a new vizor as well as a HUD incorporated within it. Commlinks were now heavily shielded and the armor had been decreased down to 30% of it's former weight. The ability to modify it according to the mission as well as for personal pleasure has been increased. The Sith Dominion emblem is still on the back while the rank insignia has been switched to the right chest
