We study an idealised plasma of fermions, coupled through an abelian gauge force U(1)_X, and which is asymmetric in that the masses of the oppositely charged species are greatly unequal. The system is dubbed PAAI, plasma asymétrique, abélien et idéalisé. It is argued that due to the ferromagnetic instability that arises, the ground state gives rise to a complex of domain walls. This complex being held together by stresses much stronger than cosmic gravity, does not evolve with the scale factor

Further, residual X-magnetic fields through mixture with standard magnetic fields, can provide the seed for cosmic-scale magnetic fields. Thus the scenario can explain several cosmological puzzles including Dark Energy.
