Thompson Jacobs

Thompson Hale Jacobs (August 2, 1840 - February 1, 1898) was an American military officer and the third President of the Dominal Base after he assassinated his predecessor, John Foreman, in the 1872 Dominal coup d'etat. After fighting a heavy role in Mary's War, Jacobs was named the Head General of the base in 1870 and led the coup force that ousted Foreman two years later. His inauguration was enjoyed by the same amount of people who attended the funeral of the founder of the Dominal Base, Henry Gorshing, in 1859.

Jacobs oversaw the reconstruction efforts after Mary's War and supervised the restoration of operrations in 1883 with the complete opening of all borders. He negotiated the tertiary alliance with Eleanor's base in 1886 and initiated the reconstruction efforts after the 1889 Dominal blackout that resulted in research into the electrical activity on the base. The complete nature of the electrical stimuli that connected the Dominal Base to the outside world, notably Celebus, New Jersey, led to the heated disagreement with his Head General, Walter Worley, who believed that the stimuli should be manipulated to improve the base. It was ultimately the reason for Jacobs' assassination in 1898.
