From "Ashes of Empire" by Brother Emil of the Stouthaven Monastic Order
When one speaks of Empire many examples come to mind, from the many pocket empires of the Barbarian lords to the edge of the network, to the bastion of peace and prosperity that our own Holy Terran Empire represents, to the crumbled ruins of the glorious Terran Mandate. But what truly makes an Empire? Is it the vast numbers of commoners? Those who work the fields and factoriums that churn out the materials needed to keep the Empire functioning? Or is it the soldiers? Those common men who serves in our Lords levies, the professional House Guards that lead the charges, the Knights in their resplendent Paladin Armor that tower over the battle field? Could it be the Nobility? Those entrusted by God to keep our borders safe, protect those under them, and rule. In these uncertain times this question can be asked a million different ways, what makes an Empire, and more importantly, what keeps an Empire from crumbling?
---------------
Noble Heritage: (Pick 1)
[ ] Grand Duke - Descending from a long line of rules your family dynasty has countless generations of nobility leading back to the time of the Terran Mandate. With each generation your families power and prestige has grown until it ruled multiple fiefdoms across multiple star systems. Being a Grand Duke you have the ability to vote in the College of Electors to determine who the next Emperor will be.
*Grants 4 to 5 fiefdoms
*Includes at least 1 Duke, 2 Counts, and 3 to 5 Barons as direct vassals
[ ] Duke - Your family is powerful, but not quite the level of a Grand Duke. You rule over large tracts of territory and owe your loyalty to a Grand Duke. You balance on the edge of true power, with a few more careful steps you could install yourself as a Grand Duke and become an Elector and have a real chance at the throne.
*Grants 3 fiefdoms
*Includes at least 3 Counts, and 5 Barons as direct vassals
[ ] Count - A mid-tier level noble, your family holds at least one significant holding.

*Grants 2 fiefdoms
*Includes at least 5 Barons as direct Vassals
[ ] Baron - The lowest level landed Nobility, often with only a single fiefdom and beholden to a more powerful lord.

*Grants 1 fiefdom
[ ] Knight - The bottom rung of the noble ladder, with no land to your name and probably the first of your noble line. That said knights aren't made lightly and you would have to be a very resourceful individual (or know the right people) to achieve such rank.

This will be a dynasty game set in an original universe (with plenty of inspiration from all over), in it you will play as the head of a Noble House, fighting for position within a feudal empire centered around Terra. As you climb the ranks you'll find yourself faced with many challenges and enemies, both from within and without.
You'll manage family members, vassals, liege lords, armies, fleets, planets, and even entire solar systems. As a noble you have access to vast resources and wealth in which to accomplish your goals, but there will always be someone in opposition to you. Balance your forces carefully however, and you can become the most powerful Human in the Galaxy.

[ ] Duke - Your family is powerful, but not quite the level of a Grand Duke. You rule over large tracts of territory and owe your loyalty to a Grand Duke.

[ ] By the Grace of God - Your family is intertwined and well respected by the Universal Church.

[ ] Lighting Speed - Your Fleet is dedicated to speed, allowing you to get warships where and when they are needed.
[ ] Bloated House Guard - Your family employs more House Soldiers than is the norm, this has lead to a slight decrease in skill, but additional soldiers are always nice.

Power is important so I chose to have the most to be able to do more and also being good with the people.
Factorium is good but you have depleted resources, no farmland and your not as good with your people. (people are everything, if they upset then that is bad)
combined arms, yes that is good but a fleet based would do better for trade and protection from pirates, that is also why I chose bloated guard so we still have a planetary defence while also having a strong fleet. (space protection and trade is very important, while also keeping your people happy)
PS: election for emperor might be important.
(just saying the reasons why I chose mine)

But if it is anything like real feudal politics then the more family members you have the more of a chance it is that one or more would want to rise up and take power for themselves.

That depends on their ambitions, if we're spacefaring there's no lack of targets for their ambitions. IDLE dynasty members are problematic, but gainfully occupied family is very useful.
