The various noble houses of The Vokun Empire attempt to expand their power base outwards to new systems. This expansion is undertaken primarily to improve their standing in the continual intrigues taking place within the Empire.
House Ksurukandesh, struggling to shrug off years of decadence and revitalize itself, has dispatched a trade mission to Circus under its favored son, Lord Mulzakesh, son of Katapaxu.
While ostensibly present on Circus to expand economic linkages between the Empire and Circus, Mulzakesh’s real objective is to extend House Ksurukandesh’s control beyond the Vokun Empire and into the Circus economy. His honored father Katapaxu seeks to create a refuge beyond the Empire for his house, and has authorized Mulzakesh to use any means necessary to stretch forth House Ksurukandesh’s hand and dominate this potential new home.
