In 2524, Gabriella Dvørak was on the planet.

In 2530, the planet was glassed by the Covenant in the Siege of Dwarka.

Post-war
After the war, the fetcher Oliver Birch came across a relatively intact and abandoned colony ship among the planet's field of debris,. The only survivor aboard the ship was a three-legged dog, Mabel.

Trivia
The planet is likely named after Dwarka, a city in India.
