The Auroran Empire is the largest single government in the galaxy, spanning most of the southern half, linking them to both much of Polaris space, and of course, the Federation. The Aurorans have a long history of a warrior tradition – warriors are esteemed over every other class in society. There is also a special sixth "house", the Dechtakar warriors. They are among the greatest warriors, assigned to the Auroran Empire as a whole, and therefore not to one House in particular.
