'''Norris Aella Aledon''', Archduke of [[Domain of Deneb|Deneb]]. Supported by many nobles in the [[Moot]], Norris is highly respected for his very competent handling of the [[Fifth Frontier War]] and for his ability since Strephon's murder to keep intact an important border region of the Imperium. Because it would have been easy for Norris to declare independence for his territories, particularly since the so-called [[Restored Vilani Empire]] region now falls between the [[Domain of Deneb]] and the Imperial Core, Norris's loyalty and fidelity to the Imperium have attracted support for him from nobles.
