Daalang

Daalang is a Human-populated planet in the Inner Rim, a world better known for the people and factions drawn to it than for any particular landscape or industry.

Daalang is a star system in the 25th Anniversary patch 3.0.9770. It takes the slot that the original game gives to Sluis Van.

History

Refugees fleeing the continuing war poured onto Daalang. Its government tried to stay out of the fight but had difficulty housing so many new arrivals. Smuggling and black-market trading grew as criminal groups prospered. Friction between the native residents and the incomers produced unrest and the odd clash. With the war dragging on, the world turned into a centre for gathering intelligence and running secret missions, as different factions tried to win its loyalty or make use of its assets.

In the game

In the patch's default ("compatible") galaxy the system keeps its slot's sector and map position. The patch calls its sector the Inner Rim sector; the original game calls it the Sluis sector. The patch also has an optional "accurate" galaxy that changes map positions only.
