History
Ruled by the Graham-Mariks, a cadet line of House Marik, the Duchy was created from Marik Commonwealth worlds in the aftermath of the First Andurien War as a reward for the Graham-Marik's faithful service to their relations. Duchy representatives first appeared in the League Parliament in 2408.[1]
Throughout the League's tumultuous history the Duchy of Graham-Marik consistently supported the Captain-General. During the first Marik Civil War the Duchy backed Elise Marik, while in the second it provided critical aid to Captain-General Janos Marik against his rebel brother with the Duchy's JumpShip fleet.[1] [2]
Politics
The Duchy's government was classed as a feudal autocracy with House Graham-Marik ruling the province with the general consent of its population.[3]
