History

In 501 when other space travelers noticed that The Station was inhabited again they all fell over themselves to broker trade and other agreements with the Station as it was conveniently located. This was good for the Dragons because Station-living without any outside aid was getting hard. However, it only took them a couple of months to realize that the help that they were giving others because of their agreements was used to colonize other planets. Since the Dragons had been chased from their own birth planet, they would not stand for it. The dragons put down their claws and demanded that all interactions with other planets should be done peacefully with discussions. The other Space Farers reluctantly agreed.
Trailblazing became an unofficial profession that later became an official profession when the Unified Trade Commission was established in 2989.
