History & Background (Dossier)

The story of Dakaar is the story of the Dakaar Corporation, a firm founded three centuries ago on profits earned from a lanthanum strike on Dakaar by a handful of independent miners. The lanthanum vein they opened was one of the richest ever discovered in the history of Reavers' Deep, and the miners founded a company that was eventually to become a subsector-wide conglomerate.

World Starport

Dakaar has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Technology Level

Dakaar possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government

Dakaar is governed by a Corporate Polity with a single corporation with a typical corporate structure as a government. A company town, or world. The typical corporate run world usually has a single purpose. Examples include mining, agriculture, or other kinds of resource extraction. But rather than a simple base of operations, there are facilities for housing workers and their families including hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure. How, or if, the children of the workers are incorporated into the workforce varies with companies. The corporation running the world may be a subsidiary of a larger interstellar corporation.
