There was a time of legends once.  A time and place where a God walked among the worlds of mankind, standing at the head of an army of men that the universe had never seen the equal of and has never since.  This was a time when ships launched to conquer space known and unknown, to pierce the void with daring and power.  Such a time served saw the birth of House Itugan among the millions of exploring families that set out into the universe to expand the Empire and build their fortunes.  Even long after the fall of the Emperor and the death of his mighty soldiers does the Warrant of Trade, giving House Itugan power, sustain.  This House has survived the pains of growth and the joys of wealth, pushed past the walls of defeat and relished in the glories of days past.  Yet now the House faces a rot from within as brilliant minds and daring hearts no longer seem at the head of this mighty family.<br/><br/>An ancient man, Lord Cyrillic Itugan, has decided upon the unthinkable.  Long has his family built its fortunes from the pleasure barges and worlds of the Imperium.  Centuries have passed since the family set out to discover new lands and lay claim to risk filled ventures.  Instead the family has been content to cater to noble whims and fancy, secure in their fortune to purchase from others what they might need to survive.  So dependent on others the House’s fortunes rose and fell alongside others, the family could no longer stand alone.  Lord Cyrillic Itugan has demanded no more.  Not since the days of their creation has House Itugan launched exploration as it does now.  The last ships of a once mighty fleet have been brought to bear, gifted over to relatives and decedents that have hardly known the touch of the void.  Lady Fortune is the only matriarch he will call his own as the twilight years descend on his eyes.  Some have called him senile, attempted to wrest control from him of the House name but the man holds firm with a dying man’s final grip.<br/><br/>Now has come the time for legends to walk again he says with a hushed breath.  He stands from his chair with a body battered from decades of battle to stare out over his family with a final hope.  The man’s eyes stare at them with the only light he still has left to muster.  With a voice that once launched a thousand men into battle and a presence that once commanded fleets of ships, he gives them the last command to go forth and prosper.  To go forth and bring immortality to House Itugan.<br/><br/>--More to Come--
