During the Restoration War, House Decimis faced a famine on their homeworld when Aurigan Directorate forces destroyed the crops. Nearly half a million people died.[4] Prior to the Battle of Weldry, a pro-Decimis resistance group calling itself the Second Decimis Fusiliers worked against the Directorate. When House Decimis declared for Lady Kamea Arano, who revealed herself to survived the coup against her, the Fusiliers also joined the Arano Restoration.[5]
Origins[edit]
The family has ancestral French and Haitian roots. House Decimis remains in power thanks to the taxes levied on the scavenger trade.[6]
