Three major factors contributed to Unone's dominance in Noon.

The first and foremost of these factors was (and is) nothing less than Unone's political and social philosophy that no identity of an individual matters so much as the fact that they are Radeti. The differences between the cities, they assert, are transitory products of the living, and have no bearing on the fact that all join the nad in death without regard for what city they might have served in life. It therefore follows under Unone philosophy that if all are the same in death, then so too are they the same it life. It was therefore natural that colonists from each of the cities of Radet-Ashru, far away from the politics of home, might prove susceptible to agreeing with the Unone. The home state did not matter nearly so much as securing a good life for their fellow colonists and neighbours, even though they might have wore tattoos of orange instead of green or blue or yellow.

Neatly fitting into this assimilation was the second factor attributing to Unone's rise: Naotik's policy of exile for anybody they deemed dangerous to their political administration both at home and in foreign cities when they had influence there. This policy ensured that Noon maintained a steady influx of individuals who had been disenfranchised by their own cities and were thus eager to forge a new identity for themselves: an identity that was frequently an Unone interpretation of what it meant to be Radeti.

The third and perhaps simplest of these factors was that the Unone invested the most heavily into their colonies on Noon. Engaging in warfare against their neighbours less than the other cities, they could afford to spend a greater amount of state resources not only contributing to the birth of the colonies overseas, but also the extraction of many of the resources that Noon had to offer.

The sum total of these factors lead to the Unone people developing faster and prospering on Noon to the point where, rather than bother competing, the other colonies simply folded in to be joint administrated with Unone in the territory eventually coined 'Heqosu-Ashru' or Land of Horses.
