It dates sometime in the 19th century, it's influence growing and reaching as far in as the Terminus Systems. The organization is separated into clans. Though these clans are technically part of the same society, and are usually on good terms with one another, it is not uncommon for internal clan wars to occur.

Lieutenant - A high ranking member of a clan, usually leading crews of around 10-30 soldiers and enforcers.
Enforcer - A soldier with elevated seniority and experience. If a non-salarian member of the clan makes it to this rank, which is rare, then this is as far as they would advance in the heirarchy.
