The Ikhtealyo clan and its two associates (Tlerlearlyo and
Yetahikh) seek
peace with other major interstellar governments. Heavily involved in interface
trading, the bloc would suffer greatly from the loss of extra-Hierate
trade during a war with the Imperials or Solomani.
Soon after the Peace of Ftahalr in
5372 (380 Imperial), the appeal of dust spice from Romar (Spinward
Marches 2140) triggered a surge of colonization across the Rift. This
brought Ikhtealyo clan into the Tlaukhu, allowing its companies to trade with
the maturing Domain of Deneb, and to a lesser degree the Zhodani Consulate and
other neighboring human states.
