Trion society was for a long time constituted almost as a caste system, with much of the power and privilege the sole preserve of the ruling Clans. ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of Fire]]'') Different castes lived in different parts of the cities. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lords of the Storm]]'') There were also shantytowns around the palaces. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Zeitgeist (short story)|Zeitgeist]]'') These clans were later overthrown, but the later regime was overturned, returning the Clans to power.

Trions on the colonies had different traditions. On [[Sarn (planet)|Sarn]], they worshipped the fire [[god]] [[Logar]], which was actually based on the memories of Trion vulcanologists. Those with the [[Misos Triangle]] were known as the Chosen Ones. ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of Fire]]'') | Trions on the colonies had different traditions.

The Trions were a reasonably advanced species, having [[space]]-faring capabilities and energy weapons. [[Lomand|One Trion]] seemed completely unfazed by the fact that [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] had a [[dimensionally transcendental]] interior.

The Trions had had colonies planets for centuries. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lords of the Storm]]'') This included [[Sarn (planet)|Sarn]], [[Darvey]], [[Verdon]], and [[New Trion]]. Some of these colonies, like Sarn, were abandoned over time. According to Turlough, the Trions had undercover agents on every civilised planet, including Earth.

During Turlough's youth there was an uprising against the Clans, led by [[Rehtcaht]]. The Clansmen were deposed, their families broken up and sent to other [[planet]]s - some Trion colonies, some not. These political exiles were marked with the [[Misos Triangle]] and were watched over by the Custodians. Rehctaht's tyrannical regime was eventually overthrown and the exiled Clansmen were allowed back on their original home.
