House

A House is a noble family who controls or seeks to control the colonies. The player takes control of the Head of a House who rules a faction, and their decisions can either propel their House to dominance over the galaxy or lead it to ruin. The leader of a House is determined by inheritance. Due to limited living space in colonies, Houses must respect size limits and enforce the One Child Rule.
