Originally part of the Capellan Confederation, they had been taken in the Fourth War.3057 Sun-Tzu Liao, enlightened Ruler on the Celestial Throne, attacked these worlds with the support of Thomas Marik to take them back. When the Federated Commonwealth split in two and the Lyran half made a separate peace with Marik (and after Marik had re-conquered those worlds lost in the 4th war) he pulled his mercenary troops out. Without them Sun-Tzu lacked the strength to take the remaining worlds by military might. On some of them revolutions were incited (mostly pro-capellan), some went independent and others were still fought over (often by Commonwealth troops who refused the orders of their High Command to leave their charges).Notable exceptions:Northwind: ancestral home of the mercenary Northwind Highlanders was reclaimed by them and declared independant.Outreach: independent home of Wolf's Dragoons and the new "Mercenary World". Had Sun-Tzu tried to conquer this world the assigned forces would have been shredded without any gain and it would have gained him the extreme ill-will of the Dragoons, at this time still be best source on information on the Clans. (Not to mention their incredible fighting prowess, backed by clan technology.)</blockquote>
