Linguistic Topography: 1105

The following languages are among the most commonly used within this astrographic region:

• Anglic: One of the two official languages of the Third Imperium and an official language of the Solomani Confederation.
  • Various secondary languages of Terran origin can be heard on Solomani worlds.
• Aslanic: A patois of the Aslan's dominant language of Trokh, utilising Trokh grammar and morphology but with phonology more suited to Human vocalisation. Commonly used by Human societies that have long had contact and exchange with Aslan, noticeably those aided and uplifted by Aslan during the Long Night.
• Osmani: A distant descendent of ancient Terran Turkish, with a large number of loanwords from Vilani and Trokh.
• Trokh: The common language of Aslan who conform to the modern Aslan monoculture established after the Aslan Cultural Purge.

History & Background (Dossier)

Various Aslan clans have power here, many part of the Hierate, many external to it. Some of these Exohierate clans deviate greatly from Aslan cultural norms and are considered tahiwihteakhtau (barbarians) by the Aslan of the Hierate. Many other Exohierate clans identify culturally as Aslan and are viewed as khaleao, a decidedly inferior status but not as irredeemable as that of "barbarian".

During the long Aslan Border Wars, human populations overwhelmed by land-hungry Aslan colonisers often retreated here. Today, a number of small multiworld polities are members of the Solomani Confederation.

• League of Erice: Erice (2819), formerly Umak (2920)
• Polity of Hollie: Hollie (2611), Gurnek (2713), Tikai (2811)
• Thalia Alliance: Thalia (2909), Boushi (3008): The first local government to join the Confederation.
• Welcin Republic: Welcin (3112), Bonher (3213)

• The Conclave of Joelii once consisted of Joelii (2915), Pliska (2916), and Izir (2917); control of Pliska passed to Iselle and control of Izir to Bowles.

History-Era: Milieu 1100

The Ustral Quadrant was first settled by Human emigres from Terra (Solomani Rim 1827) during the Interstellar Wars era. By -2204, there were at least seven settlements in subsectors B, C, F, J, and K, all well beyond the border of the Terran Confederation.

Once the Aslan achieved jump drive in -1999, they began to expand across Dark Nebula and the surrounding sectors. After -1180, some of the Solomani worlds in Ustral Quadrant were settled by desperate refugees from the old Terran colonies deeper in the Hierate that eventually fell during the Aslan Border Wars. During this period the Solomani colonies in Ustral Quadrant came under increasing pressure from the expanding Aslan, and over time most of these colonies were gradually absorbed or assimilated.

From 382 to 429 the Imperium undertook the Aslan Mission, a goodwill embassy by the Scout Service to understand the Hierate. As part of the Mission, the IISS provided considerable assistance to the clusters of Aslan worlds in and around the Ustral client states. The Aslan corporation Layaefui, dedicated to exploration, was founded at this time, and adopted many of the IISS standards and procedures for conducting surveys and exploration. Today Layaefui is headquartered in Ustral Quadrant.

Under the Solomani Autonomous Region the humans began pushing back against the Aslan tide. In the 800s subsector governments in Canopus became dominated by Solomani Party regimes; these governments used their new autonomy to forge alliances with and then absorb independent Solomani states in Ustral Quadrant. These newly-strengthened polities began ‘liberating’ worlds in the Aslan buffer zone in violation of Peace of Ftahalr and other long-standing agreements.

Imperial Naval forces in the region found themselves ordered not to intervene as Solomani colonial navy squadrons struck into Aslan space, only to be called into action to defend Imperial worlds against Aslan retaliatory raids. The situation was becoming untenable, and in 835 Empress Paula II ordered the Imperial Navy to pull back entirely from Dark Nebula, Canopus and Ustral sectors, leaving responsibility for defense of these sectors entirely to Solomani colonial fleets.

Following the Solomani Rim War relations between the Confederation and the Hierate did not improve. The Confederation Navy responded forcefully when Aslan clans probed for weakness on the spinward border; in 1007 Ustral was the scene of an inconclusive battle between a Solomani Navy squadron and Aslan warships.
