A Tentative History Of House Kirish
A random roll dates our House's origins to around the time of the Rise Of The Great Schools. The event rolled is Windfall. My suggestion is that our House's elevation to noble status came as a result of the Venport Holdings' dissolution in the Galactic Civil War. Its lucrative suspensor-production assets were gifted to our House's founders by Emperor Roderick Corrino, along with the rights to use all Venport suspensor patents free of licensing fees in perpetuity.
The next significant milestone occurred during the Establishment Of The Guild Peace. The event rolled is Victory. I suggest that our House had to defend their patent rights against a rival House seeking to seize our House's production capability. A legal battle in the Landsraad was won by our House, leading said rival House to attempt a full-scale invasion. However, they were thwarted by the Spacing Guild's refusal to transport their troops.
The next significant milestone occurred during the time of the Salusa Incident, the first major test of the Great Convention. The event rolled is Treachery. I suggest that our House gave succor to those members of renegade House Tantor seeking to elude justice for their horrific act of nuclear terrorism. Whatever our reasons, that treacherous act is still remembered and held in contempt by some members of House Corrino and the Landsraad.
The next significant milestone occurred circa 5,700 AG when our House was joining its leige's to celebrate the completion of Osimir's terraforming. The event rolled is Catastrophe. The ruling lineage of our House, of which we were originally but a cadet branch, disappeared under unknown circumstances. The fate of the vanished families remains unknown to this day, although investigation proved our cadet branch was innocent in the matter. Our branch was elevated to the ruling lineage of House Kirish in full and retained possession of the siridar fief of Osimir.
The next significant milestone occurred circa 7,200 AG. The event rolled is Doom. Natural disaster, human folly, and freak chance collided, nearly resulting in the eradication of our entire House. A malfunction of Osimir's weather-control network whips an otherwise-unremarkable tropical storm into a self-sustaining hurricane of apocalyptic proportion. Inept response to the developing crisis nigh transforms it into an extinction-level event. A lone young scientist repurposed an early, failed prototype of Holtzman's — the alloy-resonance generator — to destroy the orbiting satellites and ultimately the storm.
The last significant milestone occurred roughly twenty-five years ago. The event is Glory. Whilst visiting Kaitain on business with the Landsraad, a member of our House foiled an attempt to assassinate the Imperial family at great personal risk. The Imperial heir recalled this event on the occasion of his ascension to the Golden Lion Throne three years ago.
