** The lost/extinct vampire clans in ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade]]'', namely, the Cappadocians and the Salubri. The power vacuum they left behind is filled in by the Giovanni and the Tremere in the Final Nights.
*** There's a clan in the Sabbat sourcebook called the Harbingers of Skulls who are pretty obvious the Cappadocians, though. To the point one of their Stereotype Reactions is from a recently-deceased Giovanni: [[Curse Cut Short|"Oh, sh-"]]

* The fifth house, Hispania, in ''[[Freelancer]]''. What actually happened was their colony ship sputtered out before it reached a habitable planet (unlike the Liberty, Kusari, Bretonia, and Rhineland colony ships), so its survivors and descendants became space-faring pirate clans.
* The backstory to ''[[Homeworld]]'', which is literally [[All There in the Manual]], goes into great detail about how Kushan society is broken up into tribe-like structures known as Kiiths. Every Kiith participated in the construction of, and has a place on the mothership intended to take their people back to
