History & Background (Dossier)

The operation has since expanded into other areas of drugs and chemicals, and includes a large R & D operation that is quasi-legal at best.
World Starport
Dug 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.
- This system's starport is privately owned by the SuSAG corporation and not generally open to public use.
