'''High Lord:''' Lord Harom Nitrelka has ruled House Barahn with a benign hand for 87 years. At the age of 108, he is banished to a repulsorchair and requires a permanent link to a portable life support system. These days, he rarely ventures off planet, so it's become necessary for advisors and assistants to represent him at the Great Council. | '''High Lord:''' Lord Harom Nitrelka has ruled House Barahn with a benign hand for 87 years.

Despite the house's relative success and stability, a younger, more aggressive generation of leaders is making a push to remove Nitrelka from power. They see Barahn's resources under-utilized, and feel that with aggressive leadership, Barahn could replace [[House Larokon]] as the highest ranking house. | ||
'''Description:''' Barahn controls more systems than any other house aside from [[House Larokon|Larokon]]. But of the thirteen, only two are heavily populated, [[Barahn]] and [[New Paldor]]. The remainder are ore-rich systems dotted with small mining settlements. These systems are Barahn's main source of income. | '''Description:''' Barahn controls more systems than any other house aside from [[House Larokon|Larokon]].

Barahn Province has not always been so large. When the Romulans routed dissenters out of [[House Kerraron]], and [[House Larokon|Larokon]] moved in to finish the deed, eight of [[House Kerraron|Kerraron's]] systems became available. With the support of [[House Larokon|Larokon]], Barahn seized control of these systems. | Barahn Province has not always been so large.

More ships are desperately needed - pirate fleets are beginning to exploit the weakness by hitting cargo convoys filled with ore. Imperial patrols must devote more time to protecting Barahn than other houses, which is beginning to annoy the [[Valcarian]] governor. | ||
'''Allies:''' Barahn is allied with [[House Larokon]], but the alliance is one borne of convenience, not friendship or loyalty. If [[House Tadere|Tadere]] or another house were to dethrone [[House Larokon|Larokon]] as the top power of the sector, Barahn would throw its support to the newcomer. It really doesn't matter who is at the top, as long as Barahn is allied with that house. By necessity, Barahn also calls [[House Beruna|Beruna]] an ally, completing the triumvirate that currently holds sway in Great Council votes. | '''Allies:''' Barahn is allied with [[House Larokon]], but the alliance is one borne of convenience, not friendship or loyalty.

'''Enemies:''' As a result of the triumvirate, [[House Tadere]] is an enemy of Barahn. To a lesser extent, [[House Lanaxa|Lanaxa]] is considered an enemy, but mostly in name. Since the fall of [[House Kerraron|Kerraron]] and the acquisition of its eight systems, relations with [[House Rettaan|Rettaan]] have been cool, and downright frigid with [[House Kerraron|Kerraron]]. For a long while, [[House Kerraron|Kerraron]] banned Barahn ships from its space, but recently relented and now allows them through | '''Enemies:''' As a result of the triumvirate, [[House Tadere]] is an enemy of Barahn.

For a long while, [[House Kerraron|Kerraron]] banned Barahn ships from its space, but recently relented and now allows them through - after paying a stiff tariff. | ||
'''Assets:''' Barahn is on the verge of an economic explosion. With the relatively recent addition of eight systems, mining operation efforts have nearly tripled. However, the acquisition of such an expansive territory does not come without huge overhead costs. In the past few years, the house has actually shown quite a profit loss while purchasing new equipment, ships, and facilities necessary to keep up with the new demands. Despite this, investors can sense the potential boom, and continue to support Barahn's tedious expansion. | '''Assets:''' Barahn is on the verge of an economic explosion.
