House Shienzè are implied to be planetary rulers of New Home or at least a highly influencial family.[2] They used to hold the title of baron, but by the Dark Age era around the year 3132, had lost the title.[3]
Zander Shienzè's father died in service to Devlin Stone during the formative years of the Republic of the Sphere, which apparently prompted House Shienzè's fall from glory. Their ruin was the Cavalqueros clan's gain, and by ca. 3132 the Cavalqueros were the only clan on New Home thought to be powerful enough to possibly oppose to planetary governor Clarence Whitman (whose rule had degraded into a grab for more land, resources and power once the HPG network collapsed, leaving him to rule without Republic oversight). While the Cavalqueros allied with Whitman, Zander Shienzè, piloting the family Spider, started leading an armed rebellion. Some of his comrades-in-arms would call him baron against his wishes.[3]
