Like most of the Dathis system, Dathis II is host to a large, rotating number of Dachlyd freighters. Asked on one occasion for a specific number regarding this fleet, Cadet [http://www.wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php?title=Rogg,_Inarr Rogg] only remarked, "More than once the orbiting freighters have partially eclipsed the planet's surface." | Like most of the Dathis system, Dathis II is host to a large, rotating number of Dachlyd freighters.

Since early in its history Dathis II has been subject to frequent [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteoroid meteroid] bombardment. More rare (though more common than comparative Terran history) were regular [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid asteroid] impacts. Fossil records indicate that life on Dathis II has been subject to several extinction-level events ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELE ELE]). Early [[Dachlyd]] History is punctuated by cataclysms resulting from the impacts of one or more asteroids. Due to developments in Planetary Defense, asteroid-related disasters remain in the past of Dathis II. | Since early in its history Dathis II has been subject to frequent [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteoroid meteroid] bombardment.

Impact craters in various states of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erosion erosion] are a unique feature of the planet's surface. (Some researchers propose that the craters remaining from previous asteroids may have sheltered Dathis II life from subsequent asteroids.) Many craters have become overgrown with the abundant flora.

Dathis II, while being the homeworld of the Dachlyd race, is not the seat of Dachlyd culture. Starship, sub-light freighter, and space station -dwelling Dachlyds outnumber their homeworld.

Starship, sub-light freighter, and space station -dwelling Dachlyds outnumber their homeworld fellows. It is more accurate to say that Dachlyd culture is rooted on Dathis II and has branched off from the homeworld.

Part of Dachlyd respect for unique views is a tendency towards [http://www.thefreedictionary.com/stubborn stubbornness]: a Dachlyd will tolerate other perspectives while maintaining its own. Among Dachlyds there <em>may</em> be a chance of exchanging ideas. Conversely, when dealing with alien cultures whose views oppose their own Dachlyds have earned a reputation for [http://www.thefreedictionary.com/adamant adamantly] refusing to accept the foreign views. Sometimes it has proven impossible to even convince a Dachlyd that its views are the same as a non-Dachlyd's. | |||

There is a growing trend in Dachlyd industry supporting biotechnology. The developments which receive the most interest and acclaim specifically deal with lifespan-terminated engineered organisms, sometimes referred to as "lifespanned engineered organisms" or by the acronym "LEOs". Many advances have been made in designing organisms with specific functions to replace architectural or mechanical constructs. | There is a growing trend in Dachlyd industry supporting biotechnology.
