The family also previously held the titles to the Duchy of [[Carse]]. The [[Kelswa|Kelswa Assault Tank]] is named after the family.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Lyran Commonwealth'', p. 22</ref> ==Origins== The [[Age of War]] was not kind to the [[Tamar Pact]], as many of its planets fell to the [[Draconis Combine]]. By [[2445]], a full fifth of the Pact was under Kuritan rule.<ref>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 20</ref> Later during the reign of [[Archon]] [[Margaret Olsen]], the machinations of the Duke of Tamar resulted in a civil war which finally ended in battle on Tamar in [[2505]], when the new Archon [[Robert Steiner]] stripped the [[House Tamar]] of its titles and rank. It was here that the '''House Kelswa''' came into power, and they held the Dukedom of Tamar for the next six-and-a-half centuries.<ref>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', pp. 27–29</ref> Indeed, the Kelswas had long been an important and loyal family within the Pact, with Prime Minister [[Davis Kelswa]] in power as early as [[2364]].<ref>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 12</ref> As the various [[Great House]]s became increasingly overt in their raiding during the [[Hidden Wars]] towards the end of the [[Star League era]], the Tamar Pact found itself facing the brunt of the [[Third Hidden War|"pirate raids"]] instigated against the Commonwealth. The Duchess of Tamar during the mid twenty-eighth century, [[Monique Kelswa]], had only a rudimentary knowledge of military strategy, and instead appointed military advisors to help her prepare the Tamar Pact against acts of aggression. Among her policies applied across the Pact were tax breaks for defense industries and the implementation of state-sponsored grants for higher education on rural worlds within the Pact. These measures led to a steady drop in unemployment and a boom in university enrollments and made the Duchess a promising future leader in the minds of many despite her becoming Duchess at a very young age.<ref name="ER:2750p81">''Era Report: 2750'', p. 81: "Monique Kelswa"</ref> The [[Clan Invasion]] was devastating to the Tamar Pact, which bore the brunt of the attacks by both [[Clan Jade Falcon]] and [[Clan Wolf]]. Tamar itself fell, with Duke Kelswa fighting to the bitter end. Selvin Kelswa's daughter, [[Morasha Kelswa]] inherited her father's now meaningless titles.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', pp. 43–45, 64</ref> By [[3054]], the Tamar March had been reduced to little more than a sliver of its former glory. Nevertheless, as it essentially included the entire Federated Commonwealth-[[Clan Occupation Zones|Clan Occupation Zone]] border, it was the most heavily defended area of the Commonwealth.<ref name=ORp22>''Objective Raids'', pp. 22–23</ref> The titles of the Duke of Tamar Pact lived on with the son of Morasha Kelswa and grandson to the last Duke of Tamar [[Robert Kelswa-Steiner]] and eventually his son [[Gregory Kelswa-Steiner|Gregory]].<ref name="JHS:Tp19">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 19: "Who Is Gregory Kelswa-Steiner?"</ref> At the time of his death, [[Jasek Kelswa-Steiner]] held the titles of Duke of [[Porrima]] and Duke-in-exile of [[Skye]] and [[Tamar]]. With Gregory's last known location being on Skye when it was taken by the Falcons and no other members of the family, the future of House Kelswa is in question.<ref name="SFp50">''Shattered Fortress'', p. 50: "Live Free, Live Lyran"</ref> ==Kelswa Family Tree== {{familytree/start}} {{familytree | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |}} {{familytree | | | | | | | |HK | | | | | | | | | |HK=[[House Kelswa]]}} {{familytree | | | | | | | | |:| | | | | | | | | |}} {{familytree | | | | | | | |DK | | | | | | | | | |DK=[[Davis Kelswa]]}} {{familytree | | | | | | | | |:| | | | | | | | | |}} {{familytree | | | | | | | | |:| | | | | | | | | |}} {{familytree | | | | | | | | |:| | | | | | | | | |}} {{familytree | | |HS | | |RK |v|un | | | | | | | |HS=[[House Steiner]]|RK=[[Robert Kelswa]]|un=''unknown''}} {{familytree | | | |!| | | |,|-|-|^|-|-|.| | | | |}} {{familytree | | |AS |v|PK | | | |SK | | | | | | |AS=[[Alistair Steiner]]|PK=[[Phillipa Kelswa]]|SK=[[Simon Kelswa]]}} {{familytree | |,|-|-|-|+|-|-|-|.| | | |:| | | | |}} {{familytree |MS | |SS | |TS | | |:| | | | | | | |MS=[[Michael Steiner]]|SS=[[Steven Steiner]]|TS=[[Tatyana Steiner (25th c.)|Tatyana Steiner]]}} {{familytree | |!| | | | | | | | | | | |:| | | | |}} {{familytree |RS | | | | | | | | | | |:| | | | | |RS=[[Rutger Steiner]]}} {{familytree | |!| | | | | | | | | | | |:| | | | |}} {{familytree |TS | |HD | | | | | |SK | | | | | | |TS=[[Tracial Steiner]]|HD=[[House Dinesen]]|SK=[[Selvin Kelswa II]]}} {{familytree | |!| | | |!| | | | | | | |:| | | | |}} {{familytree |VS|v|RD| | | | | | |:| | | | | | | |VS=[[Viola Steiner]]|RD=[[Robert Dinesen]]}} {{familytree | |,|-|^|-|v|-|-|-|.| | | |:| | | | |}} {{familytree |KDS| |SSD| |MD|-|CK| | | | | | | | |KDS=[[Kevin Steiner-Dinesen|Kevin Dinesen Steiner]]|SSD=[[Sarah Steiner-Dinesen|Sarah Steiner Dinesen]]|MD=[[Mark Dinesen]]|CK=[[Charlotte Kelswa]]}} {{familytree | | | | | |!| | | | | | | |:| | | | |}} {{familytree | | | | |HS | | | | | | |:| | | | | |HS=House Steiner}} {{familytree | | | | | | | | | | | | | |:| | | | |}} {{familytree | | | | | | | | | | | | | |:| | | | |}} {{familytree | | | | | | | | | | | | | |:| | | | |}} {{familytree | | | | | | | | | | | | | |:| | | | |}} {{familytree | | | | | | | | | | | | | |:| | | | |}} {{familytree | | | | | | | | | | | | |MK | | | | |MK=[[Monique Kelswa]]}} {{familytree | | | | | | | | | | | | | |:| | | | |}} {{familytree | | | | | | | | | | | | |GK | | | | |GK=[[Graham Kelswa]]}} {{familytree | | | | | | | | | | | | | |:| | | | |}} {{familytree | | | | | | | | | | | | | |:| | | | |}} {{familytree | | | | | | | | | | | | |un | | | | |un=''unknown''}} {{familytree | | | | | | | | | | | |,|-|^|-|.| | |}} {{familytree | | | | | | |HS | |SK3| |un | | |HS=[[House Steiner]]|SK3=[[Selvin Kelswa III|Selvin III]]|un=''unknown''}} {{familytree | | | | | | | |!| | | |!| | | |!| |}} {{familytree | | | | | | |RS |v|MK | |NK | | | |RS=[[Ryan Steiner|Ryan]]|MK=[[Morasha Kelswa|Morasha]]|NK=[[Nicole Kelswa|Nicole]]}} {{familytree | | | | | | | | | |!| | | | | | |}} {{familytree | | | | | | | | |HKS| | | | | | |HKS=[[House Kelswa-Steiner]]}} {{familytree/end}} ===Other known members of the family=== * [[Sandra Kelswa]], Grafina in 2829.<ref name=HBHSp53>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 53: "Tragic Ironies"</ref> * [[Eveline Kelswa]], wife of [[Greydon Brewer]] in 3025. * [[Casorik Kelswa]], [[Planetary Governor of New Caledonia]] in 3029.<ref name=FSWMAv2p20>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 20</ref> * [[Claudius Taylor-Kelswa]], [[Duke of Fort Loudon]] in 3067.<ref name=FCCW197>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 197: "Planet Profile"</ref> * Grafina [[Antje Kelswa]], Hauptmann and commander of [[Loki]] team "Hagall" in 3150.<ref name=TRp21>''Tamar Rising'', p. 21</ref> Cousin of [[Jasek Kelswa-Steiner]].<ref name=TRp72-73>''Tamar Rising'', pp. 72–73</ref> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Era Report: 2750]]'' * ''[[Handbook: House Steiner]]'' * ''[[House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)]]'' * ''[[Jihad Hot Spots: Terra]]'' * ''[[NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2]]'' * ''[[Objective Raids]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3145 Lyran Commonwealth]]'' * ''[[Wolf Clan Sourcebook]] [[Category:Noble Houses|Kelswa]]
