House Simalr

No information or synopsis yet available.

Description (Specifications)

The title of Duke of Ushra is held by members of the Simalr family. This family has had a long and distinguished history - The Simalr claim ancestry from the Amsadege family, who settled in the region at about -5,900, and gave the sector at least two Vilani provincial governors. The Simalr themselves formed the majority of the rulers of the Ushran Empire during the Long Night.

Although the Simalr claim noble Vilani descent, they are of mixed lineage, and are unashamedly sophontist. Ushra itself still bears many signs of the original colonization by the Solomani. They are skilled administrators, who show genuine concern for their subjects. One of the Simalrs' most noted policies is that of persuading surrounding systems to adopt a liberal, democratic style of government. This gradual, voluntary process has so far resulted in ten democratic systems.

These enlightened policies, together with distinguished Naval service, have earned the current incumbent, Duke Edward Amekaa Simalr (41), a prestigious seat on the Imperial Moot. He is noted throughout much of the Imperium for his campaigns for sophont rights.

Another notable member of the Simalr clan is Jianik-Anne Simalr (32), Edward's sister, and chief Dagudashaag representative to the Grand Council of the Vland Domain.
