Capital of the Doran Empire. Other systems in this empire include Secharia and Glim.

Colonised in 929 AT by the Doran clade, in the Gathol, a ship of their own construction. This ship was accelerated by the GAIA boostbeams and decelerated by antimatter-catalysed fusion, also a 'gift' from the Goddess of Earth.

Dorannok was originally a domed colony, covering most of this world. Joined the Solar Dominion in 3890. In the aftermath of the Version War, Dorannok joined the Terragen Federation. The world is now covered by a specialised canopy plant environment. The atmosphere inside the canopy plant environment is humid and misty, and many visitors find it somewhat uncomfortable and dark. To compensate for these conditions specialised augmentations or envirosuits may be obtained upon entry.
