Latest revision as of 20:10, 16 April 2024

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.

  • 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.
