Lanth is the capital of the Lanth Subsector and an important military site as well as an administrative center, being close to both the Sword Worlds and Zhodani Consulate.

Lanth is separated from the majority of the worlds of its subsector by the Abyss, and is only accessible through Lunion Subsector or by jump-4. While this is not very important to naval or some scout vessels, its location has a significant impact on trade.

During the Fifth Frontier War Lanth was subject to a surprise attack by the Sword Worlds on 190-1107. Fierce planetary fighting was followed by a brief occupation by Sword World Forces. In the course of the war the Imperial 100th Fleet and the Sword Worlds Gram Fleet fought a series of battles for control of the system, which culminated in Imperial victory on 094-1109. Planetary fighting continued until the last Sword Worlds elements were defeated on 241-1109.
