In addition to being profitable, Tiburon's territory was also significantly challenging - Tiburon became an increasingly tempting target, and while few would attempt piracy against [[Clan Sea Fox]] most of the other Clans in the area attempted to obtain goods by [[Trial of Possession|Trial]] rather than by trade. The wealth acquired by the Tiburon Khanate ensured that it won the majority of those trials, however; opponents from [[Clan Jade Falcon]] or [[Clan Wolf]] simply didn't have access to equipment of the same quality as that the Khanate could afford to buy and use.<ref name="FM:3145p158"/>

Following the death of [[First Prince of the Federated Suns|First Prince]] [[Caleb Davion]] the Tiburon Khanate decided to involve itself in the politics of the [[Federated Suns]], despite the Suns being on the opposite side of the [[Inner Sphere]] to Tiburon's assigned hunting territory. The aid and favors offered to First Prince [[Julian Davion]] earned the Khanate the promise of three new trading worlds in the Federated Suns,<ref name="FM:3145p158"/><ref name="FM:3145p152">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 152: "Clan Sea Fox"</ref><ref name="FM:3145p150">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 150: "Standby Mode"</ref> but the worlds appeared to be of little long-term benefit to the Khanate, inviting speculation that [[saKhan]] [[Andreas Sutherland]] was looking to acquire the worlds either to use as bargaining chips with the [[Skate Khanate (Clan Sea Fox)|Skate Khanate]] or at the instruction of Sea Fox [[Khan]] [[Mori Hawker]].<ref name="FM:3145p158"/>

In [[3146]] Gamma Aimag also agreed to escort [[Julian Davion]] back into the [[Federated Suns]] in exchange for three worlds.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 15</ref> During this trip Tiburon Khanate's Gamma Aimag fought on [[Poznan]] against Home Guard forces, shattering the defenders.<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 14'', p. 4</ref>
 
 
 
In March [[3151]], Delta Aimag traveled to the [[Scorpion Empire]]'s world of [[Hamburg]], issuing a ''batchall'' to obtain the technical specifications of new Scorpion 'Mechs, but OvKhan [[Lester Kalasa]] was soundly defeated by the [[Helion Keshik]] unexpected tactics, and lost the trial.
 
On July of the same year, Delta Aimag returned to the [[Chaine Cluster]], only to find there the Helion Keshik, which had followed them. The Scorpions issued a ''batchall'' for the Aimag's [[JumpShip]]s content, including personnel and data. Kalasa underestimated the Scorpions, which defeated him and his forces, taking his ships as ''isorla'', a defeat which finished Lester's career.<ref>''Spotlight on: Hellion Keshik'', pp. 3–4</ref>

:- In 3145 the Spina Khanate was based around the ''[[Potemkin]]''-class ArcShip ''[[Titanic]]'', with the various Aimags operating from a number of other ships.
