House Stevens was a minor noble house based on Acamar.[2]

History[edit]
Origins[edit]
House Stevens was established on Acamar relatively late in its history, being granted its landhold during the reign of Chancellor Maximilian Liao in the late thirtieth and early thirty-first centuries, replacing House Jiang-Xie, which had been annihilated in a Capellan purge. The grant by Maximilian Liao, to the house founder Roger Stevens, was in recognition of his faithful military service to House Liao.
This meant House Stevens was a much younger noble house than its noble neighbors on Acamar, with whom it quarreled, such as House Brynd and House Langdon.[2]
Chaos March[edit]
While House Stevens was known for its loyalty to House Liao, it survived the transition to Federated Commonwealth rule after the Fourth Succession War, electing not to agitate for a return to Capellan rule following Operation GUERRERO in 3057. This change in affiliation went so far that, during Operation STILETTO in the early 3060s, House Stevens sided with the Federated Suns corporations seeking to establish a favorable local government.
This allowed House Stevens to form a part of the People's Republic of Acamar, together with a number of other minor noble families on Acamar, between at least 3062 and 3067.[2][3]
Known members of the family[edit]
- Baron Roger Stevens, the founder of House Stevens during the reign of Chancellor Maximilian Liao.
- Baron Harcourt Stevens, head of House Stevens as of 3067.[2]
Family Heirlooms and Holdings[edit]
House Stevens owned a landhold on Acamar's Katenga continent, which comprised approximately 1,000 km2 of agricultural land, and the three small towns of Ingata, Nang-tze and Xingya. The landhold further contained a family manor and private spaceport, which was however too small to service DropShips.[2]
