Leno is a 'mogul' as we would call it within the cloning industry of the Empire. Long has his armies of clones served the Empire, helped pamper the nobility, and feed his egotistical ways. It is said that the original Leno long ago found a old angelic cloning pod stuck in the side of the mountain cashed into a ancient temple of the long dead natives renown for their kings being almost identical and thought to be immortal.

Leno himself used to be part of a mining corporation and was a simple administrator for a single sector. He came from a well off semi-noble family known as 'The Oratas'. Upon finding the cloning pod he quite his old job (not after making his own corporation and buying the warrant for the sector) and began to clone himself thousands of times over quickly making slight changes (facial markings) to certain groups/castes to run his new utopia.

Leno virtually colonized the entire sector with, well himself. His new corporation focused on cloning, but also his old mining field and ship building become a massive conglomeration of corporations and businesses later on. They turned the newly named world of Summa into a series of massive cloning factories for both Leno's own needs and those of his clients looking for specialty servants, workers en mass, and some other options

Eventually the original Leno died and a crisis erupted the different classes begin to fight and tear at each other with each claiming to be far more 'perfect' then any of their similar brothers. A civil war was waged between the castes until finally out of the original pod arose what is said to be a 'perfect' copy of Leno himself. This reborn Leno (Leno-X2) divided the castes further by making each caste it's own 'corporation' with the leaders (clones of himself) being the CEO's as well as council men of Leno's utopia.

This process has continued with each new generation of Leno being slightly different from the last with Leno now looking like close cousins then brothers. The current ruler of the Leno is Leno-X32 another 'reborn leno'. The Leno are still nominally part of the Empire with the Empire granting the Horatus Sector as their own personal fief in exchange for clones and workers for the state.

It's pretty easy to find one of the Leno ships seeing as the entire crew would be made up of Lenos as well as their logo painted all over the damn thing.
