Probable sighting of planet and initial colonization of SM2714 by sublight colonist ships. During this period, the system was named because it was the closest binary system (~52 ly) in the Terran constellation "Equuleus." The binary system was called "Equus-Bovine," the horse and cow.

The War of the Princes - factions supported by several trader families go to war. Initially, a trade war ensued. This eventually led to bloodshed when certain factions could not come to grips with the economic realities of the situation, namely bankruptcy. To stop bankruptcy from happening, one family began to eliminate the leadership of each faction. Slowly, each faction began to lose control over its share of the markets and profits. One family, Familia Santiago, remained solvent and gained the upper hand, eventually eliminating all competition. Famila Santiago named itself as the ruler of Equus, and so started the tradition of the Trade Dictators.
