The Ten were a collective of noble houses originating from across the Core Worlds. With the establishment of the Galactic Republic, these families embarked on a mission to colonize the planet of Kuat, aiming to establish the most substantial shipbuilding enterprise in the galaxy. To accomplish this, they enlisted the most skilled terraformers of that era to transform Kuat into an idyllic haven, crafting a delightful world largely devoid of dangerous creatures. Furthermore, the Ten successfully founded Kuat Drive Yards. The group known as The Ten was composed of:
- House Kuat, the family holding supreme power
- House Andrim
- House Depon
- House Knylenn
- House Kuhlvult
- House Purkis
