-Mandala’s Mounts was a small private yard that rented and sold [[veyra|Veyra]] mounts to couriers, trappers, and settlers during the late [[beta_age|Beta Age]]. The yard closed in 2632 when the [[peace_treaty|Peace Treaty]] curtailed unsanctioned personal travel in the [[federal_confederation|Federal Confederation]].
+Mandala’s Mounts was a small private yard that rented, trained, and transferred [[veyra|Veyra]] mounts to couriers, trappers, scouts, and settlers during the late [[beta_age|Beta Age]].
+Unlike ordinary livestock traders, Rajid Mandala specialized in matching experienced riders with Veyras already in [[the_humans|Exohuman]] service. Most animals passing through the yard originated from Nara-Vey entrusted to Human communities through agreements with the [[the_senti|Senti Tribe]]. While settlers often spoke of “buying” or “selling” Veyras, Mandala officially treated such transactions as transfers of stewardship rather than ownership.
+The yard closed in 2632 when the [[peace_treaty|Peace Treaty]] and the creation of the [[Federal Breeding & Training Station for Veyras|Federal Breeding & Training Station for Veyras]] shifted Veyra allocation into Federal oversight.
