Hm...
My system is a twin star but I'm not sure what its name is since it isn't written. It could be Luhman or maybe Sirius?

So do we write out our house history or is that up to you? I'd like to go the up-jumped pirate route if that is at all possible. I'm sure there will be plenty of enemy trade routes to plunder in the future.
((I'm going to assume my twin star system is Sirius since it wasn't precise in the star chart. It could be Luhman but honestly, I'll prefer Sirius.
Who are our patron houses by the way?))

Frederik von Falkenhausen looked at his palace with a stoic face. It had barely cost him anything to build it. Of course, this fancy palace he had decided to construct couldn't compare in a matter of scale to the infrastructure he seized legally in the Sirius system which was for all anyone would care under him. He was a pragmatic man and he didn't appreciate fancy names all that much. Falkenhausen Palace would suffice.
It was a good house for his wife and many children to live in. He had sixteen of them if he recalled correctly. He entered at a slow pace the gardens of his palace. There he saw his eldest son and heir of the house, Heinrich von Falkenhausen. He was a tall man but not as tall as his father, he was in the prime of his life. Heinrich didn't inherit much from his father apart from his tall figure and handsome aristocratic face. His golden hair who fell neatly to his shoulders and cold sharp blue eyes were inherited from his mother, Hildegard.

"Father. Was your endeavor successful?" Heinrich asked calmly, his eyes never once leaving the gardens' beautiful flowers. Frederik joined him in his contemplation.
"It was but it isn't sufficient. We will need to expand our industrial capacity more before allowing ourselves to do anything else. However, Sirius is technically under our control." explained Frederik. Heinrich nodded calmly.
"I will find you a fiancé soon. You are already hitting your twenty-fourth year. I have received words that many houses like our own rose from nearby systems. It may be wise to marry you to one of them and seal an alliance." said Frederik quietly, his eyes calculating. Heinrich for the first time turned to look at his father.
"Do not worry about such things, Father. Focus on Sirius, I will handle the matter of my marital status myself and I will find us a good ally," replied Heinrich, a faint smile tugging at his lips. Frederik noticed that his eldest son was somewhat confident and so he nodded. He will let him handle the affair himself.
"Very well." Frederick acknowledged. "How are your siblings doing, by the way? I didn't see much of them since my work kept me away as you would know." inquired Frederik.
"They are doing well and..." and so both son and father continued on for an hour or so on their small talk before parting away. Their duties calling for them.

Breaking News: The Falkenhausen are hosting a banquet next (turn) and are inviting all nearby houses. Their goal is apparently to get to know the upper-society of the Sol cluster and introduce their heir and other children to prospective fiancés.
I'm kind of wondering if what I did ^ just here is really allowed. If GM says no, I'll edit it out. I thought it would be a neat thing to do.

I'm not sure if we can still create more Houses, so if I can't I'll just remove it.
