The Lanyard Colonies are a tight cluster of systems settled around 995 by Solomani citizens. The Colonies have enjoyed Solomani support due to it's good agricultural and aquacultural exports. The worlds of the polity are so named by the first four governors of each main world.

The Solomani left the worlds pretty much to themselves until 1008, where they started to take more interest in the cluster as a forward point in the deep. This heavy interest peaked at 1096 and dropped gradually since then to the the current date where the Confederation has only a token presence in the Cluster.

Aslan clan dating back to the original expansion by the Aslan off Kusyu in the 20th Century PI. Instead of competing with rival clans and humans on worlds near Kusyu, the Loakhtarl went deep into Ealiyasiyw Sector to settle, thereby gaining several centuries of relatively uncontested expansion before other clans began to arrive in the neighbourhood. The Loakhtarl parlayed this lead into control of nearly eight subsectors with the promise of gaining more. Unfortunately, the tides of war turned against them, and by the time the Peace of Ftahalr was signed in 380 the clan landholds were reduced to less than four subsectors, all situated along the Hierate border in Ealiyasiyw sector. The Loakhtarl managed to halt the decline and hold on to their remaining territories until 1116 when the clan was thrown into a vicious dispute over the succession to leadership of the clan between two sons of the previous clan lord. This fight cost the clan heavily in both power and prestige and in 1119 they were attacked and nearly annihilated by a coalition lead by their traditional enemies, the Raohkeil clan. The Loakhtarl homeworld, Ilekhakhe (Ealiyasiyw 2828) was overrun and taken over by the Raohkeil and renamed Oulktauw. The surviving Loaktarl fled and were scattered to the four corners.
