In the wake of the bloody [[Wars of Reaving]] that rocked the [[Clan Homeworlds]], the [[Invader Clans|Invading Clans]] and the other Clans who fled Clanspace were [[Trial of Abjuration|Abjured]] by [[ilKhan]] [[Brett Andrews]] and the Grand Council in [[3072]].  Mutually feeling that the [[Home Clans]] had lost their way to political corruption, petty jealousy and zealotry, the Spheroid [[Clans]] formed their own governing body in [[3075]], after negotiations between Khans [[Marthe Pryde]] and [[James Cobb]] were expanded to include the other recognized Clans in the [[Inner Sphere]].  Centered on the infamous world of [[Tukayyid]] - which is viewed as neutral ground - it functions much like the Grand Council on which it is modeled.<ref name=J:FRp113/><ref name=TWORp145/><ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 31 - "Trials of Possession"</ref><ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 63 - "Reaving"</ref>
  
 
Among the first decisions made by the Council of Six was a vote to cease all attempts at communicating with the Clan Homeworlds, which passed the body by a convincing majority.  They would also eventually lend military assistance to [[Devlin Stone]]'s coalition, supporting [[Operation SCOUR]] against the fanatical [[Word of Blake]] as the Coalition fought to liberate the worlds of the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]] and [[Terra]] during the final stages of the [[Jihad]].  The Council also recognized the [[Republic of the Sphere]] - though many outside the Clans wondered how long this overall feeling of goodwill would remain.  It should be noted that Clans who had been officially Abjured from Clan Society prior to the Wars of Reaving - namely, [[Clan Nova Cat]] and [[Clan Wolf in Exile]] - have no standing in the Council.  Communications between Council of Six member Clans and these two "rogue" entities are not forbidden, in spite of circumstances.<ref name=J:FRp113/><ref name=TWORp145/><ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 112 - "The Council of Six"</ref>
