Historical Data

Colonized starting in 620 from Aadshas (Dagudashaag 3004) in the wake of a bitter, pan-global war. The colony was proposed as a unifying effort for the world by Haako Duukhaa, the first head of the unified planetary council. It was also a way to exile the more extreme elements from the world.

Following Duukhaa's death in 650, the system was renamed in her honor. The capital is a 15km nickel-iron asteroid situated as the largest member of the trailing Trojan group of the inner most gas giant. Large parts of the asteroid have been fusion tunneled by miners and these, combined with natural fissures, provide extensive and comfortable accommodations for the majority of the one million inhabitants of the system.
