Template:Noble House-Current House Threestars is a Tarii noble family which rules over the Mathonore system. The family has a long history which intertwines with the expansion and growth of the Hapes Consortium.

History

Age of Queen-Mothers

During the First Expansion Era, the Royal Family encouraged wealthy citizens of the Hapes Consortium to help expand the dominion of the government by exploring uncharted regions of the Hapes Cluster. The Jacovi, Darlina and Benzath families from Lorell answered the Queen-Mother's call when they created the Irrea Mist Company in 358. Over the next two years, the families scraped together enough money and resources to acquire ships capable of traversing regions of space with dense nebulous gases. In 360 they began to explore the Irrea Mist in search of new systems to claim for the Hapes Consortium. While the region had an abundance of stars, few missions resulted in success as most planetary bodies found were too small or had too inhospitable terrain to warrant settlement or colonisation.

In 361, scouts from the Irrea Mist Company explored the area around the Mathonore star in competition with the Keltros Company. As they discovered planets, a race began to claim planets in the name of the Hapes Consortium and also to secure colonisation rights. As a consequence, the Mathonore system was divided in to three. Selab became a self-sufficient colony of the Hapes Consortium under the governance of the Raqill family, a major owner of the Keltros Company. Charlyk, the crown colony of the system, was administrated, along with multiple mining worlds in the system, by the Liqavius family of the Keltros Company.

Anarbold, Arabanth and Admihad became colonies administrated by the Irrea Mist Company. The three families of the company were largely unsatisfied with their territorial possessions and attempted to further expand their holdings by participating in the Alsace Colonial Wars some years later, though with little success. Colonies settled in Alsace were plagued by attacks by native species and later claimed and annexed by larger and more influential powers in the system.

The Irrea Mist Company abandoned all plans of further expansion by 390 and began mining operations on their three worlds, making a lucrative business based primarily off meleenium, varium and tibanna gas mining which became a cornerstone of the Mathonore economy, essential to the expansion of the more important colonies Selab and Charlyk.

Through a complex set of arranged marriages, the Jacovi, Darlina and Bezath families merged in to a large family and took on the name Tilaxil, meaning Three Stars in 610. When Queen-Mother Tini'duran III established the feudal nobility system in 702, the Threestars family was created a Duchii. Due to their combined governance of three planets, House Threestars's possessions were called the Grand Duchii of Arabanth and became subordinate of House Raqill's governance of the entire Mathonore system.
