To begin on what is House Fanel, it is originally and still primarily a human family with many extensions, and a long solid bloodline that stretches back hundreds of years, if not thousands even, carefully chronicled. They are the last and the first of their kind. A House that had absorbed every aspect of humanity into itself, or at least the notable aspects, this include major bloodlines of human history to draw relations from the pass and to increase their importance. They have survived the many centuries on Earth and beyond as a single entity. Hidden their culture under a cloak of secrecy even to this day, no one truly knows how House Fanel operates, but it is assumed that they are bounded by no laws of any nation, human or otherwise.

== '''Gaia - Homeworld of House Fanel''' ==
It's location is in a system outside of Federation controlled space or any other space controlled by any of the other major powers. It was discovered hundreds of years ago when first explorers of Earth, primarily of House Fanel, took upon themselves and left Earth behind for a new beginning. They used their vast amount of wealth and power to build fleets of ships in secret and took to the stars until reaching the edge of known space or at least the edge of current Federation space. The fleet of House Fanel ships discovered a nebula. It had strange properties and no ship was able to pass by it straight. One would have to make several complicated plotted warp jumps, each time always random to match the flow of the disturbance inside. Once through, the fleet discovered paradise. A planet that isn't unlike Earth. There were strange elements on this world, but all the same, even indigenious animal life was very similiar to the kinds on Earth. Since this was before the founding of the Federation and the prime directive, House Fanel had reportedly disrupted the life of this planet. On this world, there were many small bands of humanoid, whose physical appearence and genetic make up is similiar to humans. How this is possible, no one is able to determined. There were millions of these people already living on Gaia. When the colonists of House Fanel came to this world, they claimed the entire planet for themselves. The people living on this world, amazing at the advanced technology of the colonists, accepted them right away and blended into a more modern society. Before House Fanel came, the planet was in the middle of a Renaissance period. In less than 2 generations, the entire planet was transformed into a successful colony of humanity. 
House Fanel had named this planet Gaia, name of the Greek Goddess meaning "land" or in all technicality, another name for "Earth". Since no major power would dare to risk ships to lay claim to this unstable area surrounding the Gaian system, House Fanel was able to enjoy living undisturbed from outside problems until they decided to go out of their new home system and bring back technology to advanced themselves. Though in anticipation of any of the more aggressive powers in the quadrant, House Fanel had developed their own defenses, and a star force. There is no actual accounting by any of the major powers on the strength of the Fanelian Star Force and entire military, but based on the structure on how House Fanel operates, any individual man and woman of House Fanel is fully trained and capable of fighting in the name of his or her House. That being said, the total number of fighters, defenders, and serviceman in the Gaia system can literally range from thousands to millions.
== '''Religion - Entil'Zha or The One Who Creates The Future''' ==
Unlike an actual religion of many where one would believe in one God or many gods, House Fanel believes in something they all called Entil'zha, or widely spoken as simply "The One". Not an actual person in reality like a god, but more as an ideal. They believe that there is a higher power, a higher level of understanding that every race currently has no means to attain at the moment because we have not yet ready to reach such a peak of existence. Since we do not understand The One who creates the future, we simply live in it. The One isnt one particular thing, or object or person. It is all around us, shaping us, influencing us. To compare, the closest thing would be to compare this to The Force. It binds us, it is all around us and it shaped the past, it shapes the present, and it will shape the future. They respect all other religions from other races, but this is the ideal religion they believe as to have faith in. Essentially, you have faith in literally yourself because The One is within you, and you have faith in who you are, what you do, and that it creates the future. This also means you believe in the others around you because they shape the present and the create the future as well. It allows you to have a natural respect for everything and everyone in your life. That in reality there is a natural balance that must be upheld and an order of things that comes to life.
To this end, the Fanels have a saying:
{{cquote|''We are House Fanel.<br />We walk in the dark places no others will enter.<br />We stand on the bridge, and no one may pass.<br />We live for the One, we die for the One.''}}
But this mantra is reserve only for those who are either House Fanel born or dedicated loyalist to House Fanel. This includes the distaff cousins relations to House Fanel that doesnt bear the Fanel name, but remain loyal and within the House.
House Fanel as influenced by the religion they believe in are all raised, but not nessessarily believe in it. One consistency is that they believe they are, as a whole, a symbol of balance. That they take a path that knows there is no true evil or good in the universe. That good and evil are grey and to live a well off life, it is best to stay in between the good and evil, to live beyond good and evil.
Hence they have another saying:
{{cquote|“I am grey.<br />I stand between the candle and the star.<br />We are grey..<br />We stand between the darkness and the light.” .''}}
This saying can be modified for use in groups, and "we" is added. If only one person is reciting this to himself, he would take away the we and replace it with only I.
