Remarks: 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.
