Opia Houses

The Houses that rule Opia.

Houses

House of Pala

House of Pala, the Warrior Caste.

A House whose history is filled with military actions and service. A member of House Pala has always been at the head of the military, or close to it. They follow a proud military tradition, proof that even the Noble Houses of Opia serve the people. They take military discipline and honor very seriously, as they are normally among the most loyal to Opia, or so the rumors and stories about them go.
As expected of such, their members find employment and power in the military industrial complex. Their daughters marry high ranking officers, or become weapons and military hardware manufacturers. Their sons join the military, often granted a high rank, always fresh out of Officer School. The Elite Starfighter pilots of the Opian Military are named after House Pala. The Paladins. As such, all male members of House Pala are referred to as 'The Paladins', until they don't make it as a starfighter pilot. However so far, it's only happened twice in their history.
The Branches of House Pala tend to become intelligence agents or otherwise spies, doing the necessary but less honorable aspects of war, and keeping a tight leash on Opia's security. They are no less respected among the House than their 'ace pilot' cousins, but they tend not to be able to benefit in the advantages of a prestigious House in the general population. After all, well known spies are terrible at their jobs.
