I could not find indominati - it does not appear to be a word at all in Latin. Even Lewis and Short did not come up with any usage of this word, and their database covers Latin words from the Classical period through the Middle Ages. Dominati without the prefix "in" means absolute power. Usually the "in" negates a noun, as "un" does in English. The first person mistook it for indomiti (a separate word) which means wild or untamed.

Imperium - authority, command
dominati - of absolute power

Imperium indominati - command of no power?

Imperium = empire (nominative or accusative, meaning either the subject or object). Indominati = of the untamed (genitive, singular)
