House Salus retakes systems from Bunbudo Group
06 Aug 2022Salus News Network
The Imperial system administration faction “Salus Imperial Society” of House Salus has retaken most of its former colonies from the Bunbudo Group, a conglomerate of Imperial corporations.The systems of Saelishi, Bunbudo and HIP 8722 were initially colonised decades ago by the efforts of Arch-Duke Ferdinand of Salus to expand the bubble at the outskirts of Imperial space. As was tradition then, the Arch-Duke handed the colonised systems over to local factions to rule, as House Salus set its sights on establishing new colonies. His daughter however, the current reigning monarch of House Salus, Archduchess Magdalena von Salus, broke with tradition and ordered a new faction to be formed: the Salus Imperial Society. According to the Archduchess, this new faction’s founding purpose is to reclaim the worlds her father had terraformed centuries ago:
“In the past we did not have the resources to both colonise new systems, and also manage those we had already settled. So we worked closely with other Imperial factions to oversee the day to day operations of running these frontier systems. But what my father did not foresee was that one faction, the Bunbudo Group, would rise in power to take over all of the systems in question. Not only did they neglect the colonisation of these systems, but also exploited the systems for personal wealth and profit.”
Long time friend and ally of the House, Danial Shields, has taken charge of this new faction to oversee the well-being of now over a million Imperial citizens.
“We are a traditional faction, valuing Imperial honour and the patronage system. We believe that each citizen has a right to choose their cliens, who in turn are responsible for their well being. While Imperial slavery is allowed, do note that slaves have extended rights in Salus’ domain, which also apply to all Imperial slaves that set foot on a Salus’ controlled planets or stations. If you are being wrongfully exploited by your current owners, contact us, and we can make sure you receive a better and fairer treatment in Salus’ realm.We have already helped thousands of Imperial slaves this way, many of whom come from Zemina Torval’s space.”
The road to establishing dominance in the aforementioned systems was not easy. House Salus had to expand its fleet to fend off attacks by the Bunbudo Group, as the corporate conglomerate attempted to retake systems. Here the Empire aligned pilots of the squadron “Salus Invicta” helped immensely, by fighting in Salus’ wars and helping with system wide elections. After their latest victory in claiming Yamari for the society, CMDR Hekateh issued a rallying cry for support:
“Join us today if you are an Empire aligned commander, and wish to support the Empire as it ought to be: traditionalist, inward focused, and based on honour. We are looking for miners, explorers, warriors, as well as diplomats.”
