The company was established with the express purpose of reducing the cost of transporting goods into space. The DSC also manufactures and operates two families of {{wp|launch vehicle|launch vehicles}}, each utilized for different purposes. Its fleet of Dragon rockets classified as {{wp|small-lift launch vehicle|small-lift launch vehicles}} (SLVs) are geared primarily for payloads as small as 25 and up to 1,000 kilograms. Meanwhile its fleet of Phoenix rockets are, depending on the rocket's configuration for launch, can be categorized as either a {{wp|medium-lift launch vehicle}} (MLV) and {{wp|heavy-lift launch vehicle}} (HLV). The Phoenix 1 MLV is capable of delivering payloads up to 16,800 kilograms whereas the Phoenix X HLV is capable of payloads of up to 63,800 kilograms. The Phoenix's nature as a (partially) reusable vehicle and Daobac's location in the equator allows the DSC to launch rockets with much greater payloads with the same fuel consumption as rockets launched outside of the equator that requires more fuel usage. These two factors combined gives the DSC a unique competitive edge. The DSC is the successor organization to the Daoan Aeronautical Institute (DAI), an independent government agency of Daobac that was responsible for  the country's civilian space program. The Daoan government invited both domestic and foreign companies to invest and partake ownership of the company. The strategy was two fold: by privatizing and commercializing the DAI the Daoan government would both reduce government expenditure as it no longer needed to provide funding for the organization and also generate revenue through the new commercial entity. It would also preserve Daobac's space launch capability. After a period of negotiations the DSC was established on June 11th, 2006. Currently 81.5% of the company's shares are owned by members of the [[Association of Ozeros Nations]] whereas the remaining 19.5% are distributed among foreign shareholders.

The Kōpeo Cat (Machiarodus kōpeo), also known as the the Kōpeo Lion, Kōpeo Tiger or just Kōpeo is a species of large Machairodontinae sabertooth cat endemic to Onekawa-Nukanoa. A surviving member of the subfamily Machairodontinae, despite it's name the Kōpeo cat is not closely related to lions, nor any other current member of the Panthera genus. The largest living felid, with large males regularly exceeding 390 kilogams and measuring 1.4m at the shoulder. Despite a member of the Machairodontinae family, Kōpeo cats canines are not as long as some members, but still regularly reaching and exceeding 10cm. The Kōpeo cat is considered critically endangered by the Association of Ozeros Nations Intercontinental Conservation Agency, with current estimates placing the total wild population at 1,200. Whilst fossil records has shown that the Kōpeo cat was once found as far westward as Kopikara in Zanzali, no fossils younger then 180,000 have been found west of the Hanaki Wetlands. The Kōpeo cat is argued by some in the scientific community to undergoing a process of natural extinction; and that whilst accelerated by human activity has led to controversy in whether or not this animal and it's habitats should be maintained.
