## History

### Colonization Period

Daratarak was originally colonized by the Bandorian Protectorate in 3890. It became a major gas mining hub, due to Puzorilia's abundant resources.

### Bandorian Period

Daratarak was mostly peaceful under Protectorate rule, with no major conflicts. In 3996 a Ubiqtorate, or minor naval shipyard, was completed in the system. While Daratarak itself didn't become a major industrial hub at first, it was known for being a major provider of compressed gases, as well as metals from its asteroid belt. By 4000 some manufacturing had been set up in Daratarak, including an automated flak turret industry, and a stone quarrying industry, as well as ore processing using materials mined from the asteroid belt.

### 4025 Guide to the Universe

Daratarak is mainly a gas mining colony; Puzorilia provides the Protectorate with an important source of compressed hydrogen and helium gases for use in fuel in the case of hydrogen and in buoyancy devices such as floating bases in the case of helium. Daratarak also has fairly low prices for metals, making it a good place to go to buy both metals and gases. Daratarak has a small naval base with a few corvette squadrons and a heavy destroyer based there (as of 1 January 4025; the destroyer based here at this time is the *PNV Nikolai Shvetsov*). These ships are here because the Protectorate has a minor naval shipyard, more commonly known as a Ubiqtorate, in this system, and the Bandorian officials understandably want to protect their shipyard. The area around the Ubiqtorate is restricted space; you cannot enter it unless you either have a permit or are a member of the Santonian Order. This system also has a thick asteroid belt for miners; the belt is located between 6.0 and 10.0 AU, and it has thick concentrations of asteroids for most of its width. The system is home to several minor manufacturers of goods for the Protectorate. Bandorian naval vessels get many automated flak turrets from manufacturers based in this system. There are also some tourism opportunities in this system, mainly on Gicurn, which has some very interesting places to visit, with unusually shaped and colored rock formations.
