After the dissolution of the [[Rim Worlds Republic]], individuals from the von Strang family would conquer the planet Erin, rename it [[Von Strang's World]] and turn it into a one system [[Periphery]] Kingdom where the von Strang's would rule.

The Clans hoped to seek revenge on Colonel [[Gunthar von Strang]]'s descendants, and Clan Jade Falcon won the bid to take Von Strang's World, led by its senior [[Khan]] [[Elias Crichell]]. When they arrived in the system in [[3049]], the Clan's hopes were realized. They issued a ''batchall'' to the planet but only received a vitriolic rebuke from its ruler, Stepan Von Strang. Khan Crichell's forces landed on the planet after fending off the Baron's aerospace forces. The Khan and his [[Turkina Keshik]] found that the Baron's Guard Division was formidable and well prepared for an invasion.
