During the Fall a faction of powers allied to take the Republican government in Byzantium.
The group included;
- Independent planets
- Aliens
- House Von Ferdinand
- House Romanov
- House Kossuth
- House Powell
After being attacked by the Ten Houses the coalition disappeared. Many of the them remained out of contact from this time. The group has been linked to a conspiracy with the Ten due to their easy concession of Byzantium.
One of the Rogue Words is Redand, the world of the Von Ferdinand house. Another world is Tophet.
