Dubai

Dubai is the Capital City and Federal Administrative Center of the United Trade Coalition. It is also the commanding center for the Trade Emergancy Coalition during the Human-Tamarid War. The city itself is located on Earth on the Persian Gulf on the Arabian Penninsula and is home to many distinctive landmarks such as the Burj Khalifa and theBurj al Arab as well as many artificial islands such as the Palm Jumeirah, The World , and Palm Jebel Ali.

Dubai initially was a fishing and pearl diving settlement roughly around the 3rd Century A.D. But over the centuries it experience exponential growth in economics, finance, tourism, and politics while under the administrative control of the former nation of the United Arab Emrites before the founding of the Earth-Mars-Venus Republic and further the United Trade Coalition in 2222 A.D. It was selected to be the intergalactic Capital for its booming economy and its structure compared to many other cities on Earth. The city is also home to the Chancellory Chambers building, the Senate building, the Supreme Courts, and the Headquarters of the United Trade Coalition's Military Armed Forces.

During the Unification Wars of the late 2730's and early 2740's the city was threatened with iminate destruction by the Nilitheim Rebels' mission dubbed Operation Raining Fire which saw the organized drop of the former pirate base asteroid Krixus Three measuring 80 miles in diameter from orbit. The plan then failed with the success of the Coalition's 3rd Fleet (Home Fleet) saving the city and its roughly 13 million inhabitant from annihilation via altering the asteroids course. Unfortunately however the success did not stop the fall of Krixus Three but instead impacting on the city of Mumbai obliterating the entire city along with its much larger 38 million inhabitants (in the city alone) and took an additional 24 million people caught within the 200+ mile wide blast radius.

The Fall of Krixus Three had a drastic affect on Dubai's (if not the whole of Earth's) climate, causing the surrounding desert region to recieve quadrupled amount of precipitation prior to the fall, thus quickly turning the city and the surrounding landscape into having a lush, humid, tropical like climate.

Dubai is still the current political administrative center during the concurrent Human-Tamarid War.

Dubai's current recorded population within its limits as of the 2750 census is 18,745,054.
