The Dutan nest functioned as a family organization within the Arconan community. Every member of the nest participated in the illicit arms market; Dutan Lee utilized Dutan Mining Supply Exports as a cover for exporting weapons, and Dutan Kelliv provided confidential shipping information and security protocols by taking advantage of their employment at SoroSuub's munitions production facility located in Gallisport. The Dutan nest experienced setbacks, however, when Dutana Leara, who was addicted to salt, divulged sensitive information while intoxicated, leading to the collapse of certain transactions and the disappearance of funds.
