The Daoine were one of the societies that signed the Free Space Treaty with the expressed decision to remain independent form any of the Big Four.

But they soon regretted their decision, becoming the target of frequent Pirate raids and the conquering ambitions of other Free Space civilizations. They lived in constant war like conditions and lost several colonies.

The Daoine also noticed how well the Holdians did under Union membership and decided in 5017 to join the Union.

The Daoine became Union Members in 5018 and accepted Union Law.

Their decision caused much anger among other Free Space civilizations. A delegation of Free Space Civilizations came to Daoo in 5018 and demanded that the Daoine reversed their decision. The delegation threatened with war.

The Delegation argued that the Daoine decision further reduced Free Space and brought Union Assets within listening distance to Sin 4 and Karthanian Space.

Of course it was a thinly veiled attempt to keep the Daoine as an easy to raid target.

The Daoine arrested several of the delegates, claiming they were members of pirate associations. The rest of the Delegates were invited to witness a Union Fleet Maneuver and Weapon demonstration.

The fact that the 24th FleetthFleet relocated its HQ on Daoo in 5020 was of course the main reason the threat of war was never enacted by the “Coalition”.

There is nothing Daoine love more than public executions of Pirates and Raiders.
