Houses Kurita and Steiner clashed over Dromini in a number of historic campaigns, the most spectacular of which was the Wolf�s Dragoons� assault in 3021, which helped break the back of a planned Combine invasion into the Lyran Commonwealth�s Skye Province. Each round of fighting, and change of allegiance, damaged the local economy and infrastructure, but the victors often repaired what they could before the planet changed hands again. This constant shifting gave the people of Dromini IV something of an identity crisis, with portions of German- and Scottish-speaking Lyran nationals mingling�and often clashing�with Japanese-influenced Combine citizens. Still, even as fighting raged around them, more of these people managed to coexist peacefully than did not, and it was this situation and others like it on border worlds throughout the region that helped to inspire Devlin Stone�s relocation directives.
Today, Dromini is home to people descended originally from Davion, Steiner, Kurita, Marik, and even Clan heritage, creating a cosmopolitan society that once served as a model to others throughout The Republic. This mixture has also provided an excellent venue from which to conduct trade with the neighboring Successor States. Much of this trade is handled through Franchelco, the planetary capital city on the northern continent of Vijave, but major shipping ports and commercial centers exist on all three of Dromini IV�s other continents, Kodersia, Epoure, and Apokayik.
