History & Background (Dossier)

The exceptions to the Altarean Confederation's general lack of external entanglements are trade agreements with Human systems in the Old Colonies. These worlds have exchanged favourable Altarean trade terms for protection against ihatei expansion. While the Confederation strives to maintain peaceful relations with Aslan clans, most of its External Services' conflicts have been with ihatei settlers encroaching in these systems.
