Early history
Originally a colony of the Galactic Republic, the world became quickly settled due to several large deposits of ores and various specialized minerals and chrysals. The planets 1.5 billion citizens maintained a participatory democracy. Besides valuable mineral deposits, the world was as a exporter of a local spiced wine, which was popular in mnay galactic cantinas.

New Republic member
Dolomar quickly allied itself with the New Republic after the Battle of Endor, but was subjected to heavy fighting during the Thrawn campaign. Safe in their deep caveran cities, the Dolomars were protected from orbital bombardment. The Empire learned the stubborn resolve of the natives the hard way- the initial invasion force was ambushed and wiped out. The world became a hotly contested battle zone, with New Republic fleet units and local Dolomar defense forces holding back the Imperial invasion fleet. Those Imperial transports that managed to slip past the defensive array of New Republic warships often found themselves shot down by crack Dolomar gunners, manning anti-aircraft weapons scattered across the planet. Those few Imperial forces that managed to land found themselves quickly cut off and eliminated by local inhabitants fighting from hidden passages and caves.

The battle for the world was some important that New Republic Supreme Commander Admiral Ackbar personally inspected units assigned to protect the world.
