House of Gorkon

Long advocates for making the Empire strong via alliances with honorable peoples, when it was the House of Lantill, its warriors, led by General Lantill, were at the vanguard of uniting the fractious Houses in the wake of Emperor Skolar’s fall and before the rise of Emperor Yorlak. After many years serving the Empire, including leading one of the battle groups that faced the Federation at Donatu V, Gorkon of the House of Lantill was elevated to the High Council, and the House was renamed for him. He was at the forefront of the Empire’s actions to attempt to thrive in the wake of the restrictions imposed by the Organians, and he became chancellor after Kesh’s death. His response to the destruction of Praxis was to make overtures to the Federation, and while he was assassinated before his work was done, his daughter Azetbur signed the Khitomer Accords, cementing an alliance that continued to the 24th century. Unfortunately, Azetbur herself came to a bad end, as reactionary forces on the Council worked against her, and she died at the hands of an assassin, bringing the House of Gorkon to an ignominious end.
