Historical Data[edit]
After the fall of the Rule of Man, Mendan and its dependents became part of the Second Empire of Gashikan; after the collapse of the Second Empire, Mendan and many of the worlds it administered chose instead to associate themselves with the Julian Protectorate rather than the Third Empire of Gashikan. Today these worlds form the Commonwealth of Mendan. Since joining the Protectorate, a strong effort to overcome the legacy of race hatred has had some effect.

- -2235 to -2219: A family of Solomani traders, the Menderes, establish lucrative trade routes along the Mendan Main.
- -1776 to 0: The Long Night. There is widespread regression within the area and some worlds become barren.
- -1700 onward: Vargr expansion and settlement gradually ceases.
- -1658: The Sack of Gashikan, an atrocity known throughout the coreward parts of Charted Space.
