History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Comp-Prog-Dav-R-Deitrick-Starter-Trav-Page-16 16-July-2018a.jpg

Dobham was colonized around 900, and most regions of the planet are still undeveloped to date. Primarily a market world, Dobham sees a great deal of traffic passing through its extensive port complex. Starship construction and repair facilities (outside the scout base) are relatively poor, with modular construction of a few simple designs being all that is available. [2]

World Starport (St)[edit]

Dobham has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
