In the beginning was a Noghri, Dan Hakim, a bit different to his clan mates, more outgoing and friendly than most of his race. After working for some time in the shipyards of Mandalore, he made some some friends other than Mandalorians. One of these friends, a well known trader, offered him the chance to be at the start of a new, medical based, business venture, the Noghri accepted. After working hard to try building up the new business venture, finding staff and other tasks, the trader friend fell foul off the 'galactic authorities' and was never seen again. Feeling a little lost and lonely, the Noghri decided to strike out on his own, start his own trading business.

After a while, the loneliness got worse, it became a gaping chasm of desolation that only time spent in the isolation of space can bring, then out of the ether, came a message, from a Kiffar who had previously turned down the Noghri's offer of employment with the medical business venture. The Kiffar had said a colleague of his had mentioned a good deed performed by the Noghri, and had heard only good things about him. The Noghri offered the Kiffar, Kain Eckert, a partnership in his new enterprise and the tall, quiet Kiffar accepted. Now rid of the loneliness, replaced with a new found sense of optimism, the Noghri set about forging a reputation for himself, his new partner and their new business.

Although the Dan Hakim hadn't always got along well with his clan mates back on Honoghr, he never lost the piece of his heart that held his memories of home. In order to honour those memories, he decided to name his business after the most important part of his culture, the clan buildings called dukhas. That final piece concluded the early development of the the company to be known to the galaxy as Dukha Trading.

In the space of around 3 years the business experienced substantial growth, at one point being the premier transport group in the galaxy, Dukha Trading had made its name and created its reputation for logistical excellence. All the while the credits flowed from the transport department they were reinvested to develop the company's infrastructure and production capabilities. A new headquarters, the city Dukhajaya, was established in the southern reaches of Tierell III, a planet in the Thesme sector.

The Noghri businessman disappeared, absent for a long time, his whereabouts unknown, only the occasional message to enquire how the Kiffar was doing. For a time the business struggled, the managerial workload too much for one sentient. The team steadily depleting in numbers, the Kiffar ploughed on, carefully picking deals and expanding Dukha's real estate portfolio.

When the Noghri returned, he explained how his absence was caused by a bad decision after a few nights in a rough cantina, he followed a Gamorrean female who led him into a trap. He made friends on the unidentified planet, friends who helped to set him free and enable his return. Disappointed at the size of the team but pleasantly surprised at the the number of new cities, he got back to business.

A chance discovery of a previously undiscovered planet, Axxila, led to Dukha claiming its greatest expanse of territory. It proved to be a very valuable discovery. Working as a team, the partners established a number of new work sites including many new raw material deposits. Kain Eckert took over managing the development of Axxila, while the Noghri went back to Tierell to work on generating new business from old contacts.

The Dukha Trading partnership, having taken stock of all the company's assets decided to relaunch itself, now a resource rich entity, the partners decided to establish a shipwright business, in an effort to retain its history yet mark the new direction of the business, the shipwright business was named Dukha Industrial.

It was around the relaunch that the organisation made its first significant discovery, Lorrd. The citizens of Lorrd were convinced by the Dukha Industrial owners that the system could once again be known throughout the galaxy if they allowed Dukha to lead planetary development. This redevelopment has seen the reconstruction of Lorrd University as the spearhead of a regenerative project for Lorrd City with the Frezen township also being brought to a standard closer to galactic standards for civilised populations. Dukha Industrial also awarded Lorrd development projects to both the Slabhunter group and SYT Transport.

Shortly after the deal with the Lorrdians Dukha was hit by the Derra Virus, co-owner Kain Eckert and another senior member having been struck down by the infection. They are now identified as being of the Diathim race, leader Dan Hakim, as a result of his deep space isolation at the time, avoided contracting the disease.

Dan Hakim continued his work with the lesser known star charts of the galaxy and again plotted the search parameters for Dukha's next big discovery, the Dubrillion system. Found by a then, associate member of the team, Dionaea Kuat, the other members were caught out of position, unaware that Kuat had continued the search while the other senior members had left the search to attend to other duties. This led to what was termed by the owner partnership as a 'less than ideal colonisation' of the system allowing uninvited parties to stake their claims on Dubrillion while Destrillion was secured. Wishing to avoid unnecessary conflict, Dan Hakim set about establishing a forum for the stakeholders of Dubrillion to coordinate their efforts to establish and maintain a prosperous economic climate on the planet, despite empty threats from Black Sun to disrupt these negotiations.

A third successful search for uncharted systems came in collaboration with SYT Transport. After sharing their his star charts with SYT leader Darlene Bazinga, Dan Hakim joined the search which led to the discovery of the Sartinaynian system in the Braxant sector. There it was agreed that Dukha would hold mineral rights on Bastion and control of the gas giant Sarti, while SYT would retain control of Bastion and governance of the system.

As things currently stand, the Dukha group has influence over a large portion of the Northern Outer Rim, controlling the Kanz and Myto sectors while also holding a major stake in the Braxant sector, this phenomenal growth in the space of less than one year has gone largely unnoticed by the galaxy at large.
