The history of this world begins many centuries ago and hundreds
of parsecs away, in the Uwaralyekose (Cultural Purge) in the Hierate.
The Esuaheakhahryoyulr clan were part of the tsekho or Progressive
faction; the clan had managed to wean their males away from the
obsessive pursuit of territory and instead social standing within the
Esuaheakhahryoyulr was based on contribution to the clan’s fortunes.
It was impossible to completely erase the Aslan territorial urge, so
the clan granted fiefs to those who accomplished glorious deeds,
not necessarily military ones. When the culture wars turned against
the tsekho, the Esuaheakhahryoyulr fled the Hierate (breeding the
conquerer’s instinct out of your warrior population tends to diminish
your clan’s fighting capability). They crossed the Great Rift and
attempted to settle in the Ya’soisthea but were repeatedly attacked
by the Glorious Empire, forcing them to continue onwards.
Eventually, bloodied and broken, the Esuaheakhahryoyulr reached
Hradus. There was a small human population here already, who were
willing to negotiate with the Aslan, allowing them to settle the southern
continent. Less than a century later, Hradus joined the Imperium.
As Hradus is the world with the highest percentage population
of Aslan in the Imperium, several restrictions were placed on its
membership for ‘security reasons’ – there was considerable concern
that the whole Esuaheakhahryoyulr clan was a trojan horse and
would launch an attack against the Imperium once settled. Therefore, Hradus’ technology is
capped at TL7, even though the Esuaheakhahryoyulr have the capacity
to produce up to TL12 goods. Similarly, all Esuaheakhahryoyulr
vessels must be registered at Tobia and a portion of the clan’s
military forces are always seconded to the sector fleet.
These restrictions have been in force for almost four hundred years
and many citizens feel that the Esuaheakhahryoyulr have proved
themselves over and over again. Other worlds with a high nonhuman
population are not so restricted and it was only the paranoia
of the Imperium in that era that required the Treaty of Hradus.
Esuaheakhahryoyulr Aslan have served both as warriors and spies
for the Imperium and their ability to produce Aslan-design ships has
been of great use in the past.
