The Aslan Border Wars (-1120 to 380) were a series of numerous small wars were fought between Aslan clans and human splinter states, with alliances among the the various powers constantly forming and dissolving. The border between human and Aslan space remained relatively constant, with a few systems changing hands after each war.

During this period some clans also launched raids into the interior of the former Imperial domains, conquering and settling worlds as much as 40 parsecs beyond the border. Once the Third Imperium expanded into the region (circa 200), its superior organization and technology gradually put an end to the Aslan threat.
