Major Project house is an ongoing project to catalog the noble houses of the Inner Sphere as best I can. BattleTech is space feudalism but we do not actually see a lot of it going on beyond the five main houses. I am interested in the various Dukes, Counts and Barons.

Houses[edit]

House Burrill[edit]

House Cassidy[edit]

House Christifori[edit]

House Cosmidi[edit]

House Gettle[edit]

  • Gettle, Baron[2]

House Hughes[edit]

Family tree stuff.

House Isu[edit]

  • Grandfather was Duke of Arc-Royal
  • Father was a Count.
  • Alister Luvon is an uncle.
  • an uncle to Morgan Kell named Seamus is mentioned as being alive in 3010.[5][6]
  • Arthur Luvon is a cousin.
  • The Kell Hounds p7 states - "When the media showed the brothers Kell as guests at an elegant social event, the public began to wonder whether the mercenaries were, in fact, overpaid. What the critics did not mention was that the party was the centennial birthday celebration for their and Arthur Luvon's grandmother." That's circa 3012.

House Knox[edit]

House Kochbar[edit]
