History & Background (Dossier)
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]
