Dominion Agra

Dominion Agra is one of the 12 companies in the Coalition of Multinationals, and one of the 6 siding with the Indo-American allies in World War III. Their profit comes from genetically modified crops that used self-terminating DNA strands to completely take over the entire food industry. They are based in the City of London, and their chief shareholders are the Roache brothers.

## Insignia

In Insignia, Tom Raines is picked up by Dalton Prestwick and taken to Dominion Agra's Beringer Club. There, Dalton explains on behalf of Dominion that he would like to sponsor Tom as combatant, but that he knows that Tom holds a grudge against Dalton so, with the help of Joseph Vengerov, he reprograms Tom's neural processor to be more peaceful towards Dalton. He then continues installing more and more layers of code into Tom's processor, teaching him business conduct so that he can publicly represent Dominion Agra, making Tom hate his friends, and also making him call Dalton "Mr. Prestwick" because calling Dalton "betrays a lack of respect." Wyatt and Lieutenant Blackburn attempt to scan him for something in his processor, but the code calculates that Tom only has one possible way out of the situation - mentioning to Blackburn the word "Roanoke" that had a dark meaning in Blackburn's past. It works, although Blackburn goes on to hate Tom for it. Eventually, Wyatt and Yuri detect that something is wrong and force him down to eliminate the virus. When he wakes back up from being unscrambled, he realizes that he has to get revenge on Dominion Agra, so at his next trip to the Beringer club, he not only releases the virus Frequent Noisome Farts on Karl Masters, but also floods the entire club with sewage with the executives trapped inside, then leaves and flips the sign on the club building to "Beware of Dog," which is the club's way of signaling that it's closed.

## Vortex

Tom finds out at the Dominion Agra meet-and-greet that the Beringer Club incident made Dalton and many other Dominion Agra executives so furious that he got Tom classified as an international terrorist threat, which becomes quite an annoyance throughout the rest of the series. He is questioned and interrogated by many personnel, and eventually, Dalton himself, who lectures Tom about how he only has 3 options left: CamCo, lab rat, or the NSA, who in order to guarantee compliance and trustability, reprograms neural processors just like Dalton did to Tom. Dalton then leaves the room, allowing Elliot Ramirez to come in to get Tom out of the interrogation room. Dominion Agra doesn't have any further direct appearance throughout the rest of the novel.

## Catalyst

Dominion Agra makes no direct appearance in this novel, although all Coalition companies are affected by the ghost in the machine's killing of almost all high-level executives. Near the end when Tom is in his mother's and Dalton's apartment, Dalton is force-fed Austere-Grade neural processors and Joseph Vengerov, knowing that Dalton is now essentially his mind slave due to the programmable machine in his head, says he will pressure Dominion shareholders to make Dalton CEO of Dominion Agra. Dalton knows he has no choice, and is terrified, although he tries not to show it while on a conference with Vengerov.

After this, the only Coalition company to make an appearance in the series in Obsidian Corp., as it is the company integrating the Austere-Grade neural processors, the final conflict of the series. After the defeat of Joseph Vengerov, all Coalition companies were essentially disbanded by the public, as nobody would sell or buy from anyone who had ever been a member of Dominion at some point. So just like that, Dominion Agra, the crop-stealing monopoly company that owned the entire world's food supply, came to an end.
