Looking for the name of an obscure sci-fi game.

While I was a college student back in the late 80s, early 90s I hung out at a rpg/comic store. One game that caught my eye but never made it onto my bookshelf sci-fi game who's name eludes me to this day.

I think there were 2-3 books all in A5 format. It was possibly called Dominion or Domain or something similar then again maybe not). I remember the system being quite simple with maybe 4-5 attributes and several alien races to choose from (the most memorable being some sort of lava/rock man). Besides that i know nothing of the writer or publisher.

if anyone has and ideas or even knows where I can get hold of a copy I would be very grateful.

Do you remember anything about the setting?  Near Earth, future Earth, alternate reality, anything?  I was big into sci fi rpgs back then, I might recognize it if you told me more.

Sci-Fi is all i remember for sure. It may have been restricted to our solar system, though maybe not.. Vague I know, but this is the problem I have.

Re: Looking for the name of an obscure sci-fi game.

I leafed through my old White Dwarfs  (this was before the magazine became exclusively Warhammer) and Dragons from the late 80's early 90's, but couldn't see anything with a name similar to Dominion/Domain in the advertisements.

Anything on this list ring a bell ?  :>

Not on that list. Thanks though.

None of the other 4 mentioned either.
