Yuma is a lush world that is seemingly ideal for human population, with vast seas and a wide equatorial band of humid tropical terrain. Since the planet's discovery in 640 A.S. by Zoner explorers, there have been multiple colonization attempts, all of which failed. The overly aggressive native flora is capable of re-growing in cleared land at astonishing speeds and is capable of choking out synth crops, requiring any colonization attempt to be well supplied from outside sources.
DSE surveyors based their ship, the Armstrong, in orbit of the planet. Intense bidding ensued between interested parties in Liberty once the planet was revealed. DSE also commenced construction of a docking ring for the planet, eyeing the potentially endless profit from such a lush planet.
However the Armstrong came under increasingly frequent and powerful attacks from pirates in the system. Dozens of survey probes sent throughout the system were destroyed and it soon became clear to the Armstrong's crew that they were not welcome in the system. Pirates, utilising more advanced weaponry than previous raids, managed to destroy the Armstrong in a single concentrated assault, with all DSE crew on board lost.
When the Colonial Republic entered the system, the Armstrong had only recently been destroyed. Seeing an opportunity to ensure a strong claim to at least half of Coronado, the Republic constructed Sabah Shipyard in orbit of the planet. Colonial survey parties, including some DSE employees who were on the surface during the attack on the Armstrong, frequently visit the planet's surface.
