History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The worlds of the Trace have never gotten along with one another, with many petty rivalries, disagreements, and endless bickering. Dobaran, always an outlying member of the group, has always been regarded as being the least partisan.
Although many of its member systems petition for their name to be associated with the Trace, even pushing for it to be known as a Cluster to make it seem more important, that particular honor has almost accidentally fallen to Dobaran -- because it didn't seek the honor, it was deemed the best option to bear it.
High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the Trace, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between its member worlds.

Significant populations of the following races (sophont species) are found along this trade route:
