Dessonia is the J4 bridge between the Inukari Union and Flossandra Sector. It connects to four Union worlds and three Flossandra worlds at J4... and nowhere else closer than that.

Dessonia, the world, has a very small population: because of its isolation, very few humans were interested in settling it. But the Ancients were interested in its deposits of something, and brought humans to establish a mining settlement. With the realization that Flossandra Sector was beyond it, the Union built an orbital starport. The Ancients provided a small fleet of Dragon ships to provide transportation, including ferry service, opening Flossandra to settlement.

Post-Departure, mining nearly ceased, and the Dragons found themselves with considerable leverage. Dessonia is now the Dragon "homeworld," the home port for every Dragon ship in Union space and many beyond it.

The world below is left to humans; the permanent Dragon population is entirely station-based.
