Episode 16 – The Rise of Nexar Dominion
---
Hidden deep within space, behind veils of stealth tech and encrypted comms, a name is whispered only by those sworn in blood:
> Nexar Dominion
This is the true name of Aarav's shadow empire—known only to his most trusted few. While the world sees a city thriving under the face of a mysterious woman, behind the scenes, Nexar Dominion is growing into a force that could challenge all solar powers.

The Phantom Core
Aarav's elite military unit is officially born:
> Codename: Phantom Core
Operatives trained in silence and precision
Suits embedded with cloaking systems and nano-healing layers
Carriers and destroyers designed with warp stealth drive
Each soldier in Phantom Core knows only one master—the unseen founder.
> "You never saw us. We were never here."
—Motto of Phantom Core

The Solar Trade Gateways
Using front companies and shell corporations across the solar system, Aarav begins construction of:
Solar Trade Gateways: Advanced, hidden structures that manipulate energy flow, matter conversion, and gravitational stability between planets and moons.
Each gateway is disguised as a public "infrastructure aid" or "research station."
Through these, Nexar Dominion starts controlling:
Energy transfers between moons
Raw material transport
Hyperfuel distribution
And no one realizes who's really pulling the strings.

Public Face: Lumora's Expansion
In Lumora Prime, the girl continues to lead the public.
New districts open weekly, offering jobs, homes, and safety.
She launches the Institute of Galactic Advancement, training future minds.
Criminals and smugglers trying to exploit the city are publicly arrested—or, if too dangerous, eliminated by Phantom Core, masked and silent.
She continues to say:
> "We are not here to rule the solar system. We are here to rebuild it."
But behind her, the truth grows darker—and more powerful.

Galactic Federation's Whisper
Far away, in a solar system capital known as Orionis Prime, leaders begin noticing odd patterns:
Trade routes shifting.
Energy values rising in favor of Lumora-based companies.
Black market vanishing—but not collapsing.
A woman on the Federation Council murmurs:
> "Something powerful is moving beneath our sight. We must find the source before it finds us."
But by the time they do… it might be too late.

Final Scene: The Founder's Will
In the secret throne room beneath the mansion, Aarav stands before a star map.
The system speaks in his mind:
> "Progress: 3%. Universe domination protocols running smoothly."
Aarav smirks, eyes glowing faintly with the power of the First One.
> "Let them chase shadows. By the time they see me... I'll already own them."
The Phantom Core silently kneels behind him.
The next phase begins.
