During the limited exploration efforts enacted by [[Clan Blood Spirit]] during the [[Golden Century]], they discovered the system in [[2880]] but deemed it of little value. Appearing on [[Clan]] charts in the wake of this brief visit, Waypoint 351 was used as a rallying point and recharging stopover for occasional [[Bandit Caste]] raids of the nearby Nueva Castile worlds.<ref name=WOR-128/>

In the late [[3060]]s, a [[Word of Blake]] [[Explorer Corps (ComStar)|Explorer Corps]] team arrived and verified that the system was empty; within two years they established a small space station around one of the asteroids. It boasted minimal defense systems and was slowly built up as a supply point for a planned Word of Blake attack against the [[Pentagon Worlds]]. However, the Word of Blake [[Jihad]] would ensure such a strike would never come to pass. After that conflict resulted in loss of contact between the Blakist forces within Nueva Castile space and Word's leadership in the distant [[Word of Blake Protectorate]], in early [[3073]] a concerned [[Precentor]] [[Irene Gillick]] gathered up much of the Blakist personnel and matériel within Nueva Castile and linked up with the forces at Waypoint 531. At that time Waypoint 351 contained enough supplies of [[BattleMech]]s, ammunition and other military hardware to outfit an entire [[Level IV|Division]], but it is unknown what Gillick intended to do with that hardware.<ref name=WOR-128/>

In July 3073, a [[Dark Caste]] flotilla led by [[Russou Howell|The Jaguar]], and escorted by the ''[[Mako]]''-class corvette ''[[Fuchida]]'', arrived at Waypoint 531 and was surprised to find the Blakist JumpShips in the system. The Bandit forces immediately attacked and gutted two Blakist JumpShips; with minimal [[aerospace fighter]] coverage and having nothing to counter even a partially functional [[WarShip]], Precentor Gillick surrendered. The Jaguar traded the Blakist prisoners to the [[Tanite Worlds|Tanites]] for food and supplies, and used the captured equipment for raids against Nueva Castile, the [[Hanseatic League]], and several Clan worlds.<ref name=WOR-128/>
