Arantan Empire
Aggressively expansionist Consolidation Age heterodox Solarian Bionanoborg off-shoot that established itself in the Cygexpa volume. Some attribute its success to support by isolationist ahuman ais in the region. During the Cygnus Wars both the Varadic and the Arantan empires contended for ownership of the most resource rich systems, attacking the local Beamrider infrastructure with relativistic projectiles, and threatening to corrupt the engenerator waystations if either Cygexpa or any of the Inner Sphere powers intervened. The Arantans were eventually subverted by clever memetic engineering on the Dominion's part. Arantan morphotypes and sociotypes are still to be found among the polities of the region, now completely assimilated in Dominion Solarism.

Expansionist Late Consolidation and early Integration vec-dominated polity which broke off from the Arantan Empire. During the Cygnus Wars both the Varadic and Arantan empires contended for ownership of the most resource rich systems, attacking the local Beamrider infrastructure with relativistic projectiles, and threatening to corrupt the engenerator waystations if either Cygexpa or any of the Inner Sphere powers intervened. Eventually a combined Dominion-MPA fleet put an end to Varadic ambitions. Within three centuries, Dominion governors had dissolved the Varadic Hegemony into a series of scattered tribeminds and then over the next five hundred years, consolidated the final remains of the population into the Arantavaradic Narrative Version Tree polity, whose virtual memorials to the wars remain to the present day.
