The Great House of

 Khnialmnae

     The Great House of Khnialmnae can trace its origins 

back to the time of S'Task himself, and the Great Exodus. 

Legends indicate that the family line has descended from one 

of the original 18,000 survivors from Vulcan to ch'Rihan over 

two millennia ago. The Great House was one of those who 

built and established the capitol city of Ra'tleighfi, where the 

majestic Great Hall of Khnialmnae stands to this day 

overlooking the River Ra'tleighfi.

 ........Within every generation over the last two thousand 

years, at least one member of the Great House tr'Khnialmnae 

has served the Empire as a member of the ruling Senate. 

This service includes over one dozen tr'Khnialmnae as 

Proconsul, and even several as Praetor, most recently the 

Great Fvillha Tebaurek tr'Khnialmnae, renown for his conquest

and introduction of 17 new worlds into the Empire, a record 

of no small feat. The famed military leader khre'Enriov Vaurad

tr'Khnialmnae was one of the glorious heroes of the first 

Terran War, successfully defending our sector of space from 

the bloodthirsty invaders who would found the United 

Federation of Planets with the establishment of the Neutral 

Zone in 2160. Enriov T'Lauk t'Khnialmnae was one of the 

heroes at the battle known as the Tomed Incident of 2311, 

defeating thousands of Federation troops and was one of the

signers of the Treaty of Algernon, successfully keeping 

cloaking technology out of the hands of the Federation.  Her 

son, Riov Tebok tr'Khnialmnae, was the first Rihannsu to 

have direct contact with the Federation in fifty-three years, 

when encountering the U.S.S. Enterprise-D and Captain 

Jean-Luc Picard along the perimeter of the Neutral Zone some

12 years ago. After bravely standing down the Starfleet 

infidels, his resourcefulness and collection of data helped the 

Empire protect itself against the impending invasion of the 

Borg. His heroism and forethought found him elected to the 

Senate, where he currently serves as a senior member. Deihu

Tebok's son, erei'Riov Rh'vaurek tr'Khnialmnae, follows his 

father's fine military career path as an exemplary officer.  He 

earlier found fame as one of ch'Rihan's preeminent artists, 

with such outstanding works as "Sunrise over Vorta Vor", 

"Spirit of the Arrain",  and "Warrior Child" housed proudly

within the Great Hall of the Praetorate.
