There are definitely differences between Extents Vargr and Julian Vargr;
the Protectorate has a policy of deliberate promotion of species
integration - if you've got Jim Vassilakos's GALACTIC program (it runs
nicely in DOSBox, if you don't have Windows XP or earlier), look at the
extensive notes attached to Amdukan Sector.

I'm not sure you'll find much in the way of "Solomani Aslan" - there are
reasons that they kinda really don't much like each other -  but there
_are_ Imperial Aslan, and there are some cultural differences between
them and Hierate Aslan. Canonically, though, those differences are
portrayed as being much less than the differences between Imperial,
Julian, and Extents Vargr.
