- In 700, a group of these nobles pooled their resources to buy bankrupt fledgling lines, merging them to form GeDeCo.
- Vilani megacorporation Zirunkariish supported the company's formation and took a 25% equity stake. The company also ensured that the owning House Shiishuginsa took a 10% equity stake. Not surprisingly, some of the nobles are related by blood or marriage to House Shiishuginsa.
