Little is known about this shady asteroid base, tucked away in the southeast of the sleepy Hudson system. It was originally constructed in 736 A.S., and appears to shelter a moderately sized contingent of Liberty Rogues. Despite rumours of light arms and diamond smuggling deals within its shadowy corridors, little has ever been proven. Indeed, Dawson's very location remains uncertain and unknown to the Liberty Navy, although up until recently the Liberty Navy rarely bothered to take any overt interest in the region.
The truth, surprisingly enough, isn't far from popular belief. Dawson is indeed a Liberty Rogue installation, though it's never been particularly large due to somewhat turgid regional trade and a tendency for cargo haulers to avoid Hudson in favour of the more compact, though admittedly less well-protected, neighbouring Bering route. Since the war between Rheinland and Liberty started, traffic through the region has crawled nearly to a standstill, with all non-living goods indefinitely suppressed and slow but steady militarization of the zone's Rheinland and Liberty poles, although a hefty amount of smuggling still continues.
Never particularly lively, Dawson, like the other pirate havens in the region, has been stripped of population, spacecraft and resources until its begun to resemble a clearing house. The remnants of the onboard criminals are the bare minimum necessary in order to ensure the continuation of Dawson's primary trade, even more so than piracy, which is diamond and weapon smuggling. Dawson handles practically every black market diamond shipment that passes through the region, and it is Dawson that doles out armament to fellow pirates and insurgents. However, due to increased military patrols as a result of the Rheinland - Liberty hostilities, and the terraforming project on the planet Atka, Dawson has managed to maintain some importance as a safe criminal port of call during these turbulent times.
