The Founding Family refer to the descendants of the original 29 proto-Abh crew, each holding a specific postion within their starship. The departments of the original ships crew essentially became the different families of the Abh Empire.

Background[edit | edit source]

When the original Abh announced their secession from the mother city they wished to be an independent race.

Royalty[edit | edit source]

The Abriel family are Royalty. The Abriel, actually, consist of eight branches, each heading a Kingdom. Similar to nobles (landed Voda) who didn't rule their nations, the title was mostly a meaningless honorific.

Nobility[edit | edit source]

The Abriel clan has no astrological significance, however the other 28 are all named after constellations named by the Japanese ancestors of the Abh.[1] The constellation are grouped into the 4 directions, each one ruled by a Shinjuu. The 28 families also form the higher echelon of Abh nobility. Additionally, almost every clan has a distinctive physical trait that only members of that clan have. These traits are maintained through careful genetic manipulation.
