House Decebal

History
During the Macharian Crusade, Hector Decebal was a general under command of the Lord Solar. While an effective commander, Decebal was known to make no compromises and give no second chances. Planets refusing the initial offer to join the Imperium were subdued mercilessly, their population either pressed into service as conscripts or large parts of them executed along their defense forces. While this proved to be an efficient approach and sped up the campaign considerably, it left behind fertile grounds for rebellious motions among the conquered people.

When the Crusade collapsed and turned into the Macharian Heresy, the Munitorum was worried that Decebal would return to those planets he conquered before and claim them in his own name. To preempt this event, they coordinated the bestowal of a Warrant of Trade for Decebal, tied to the task of bringing the distant Eressa Sector back into Imperial compliance.

Equipped with a ship and employing his former man as a personal army, Decebal and his family set out towards the fringe of the galaxy to claim a new home.

Business Affairs
Little has changed since Hector Decebal's time as a general and the family primarily deals in war. Whether rare, personalized weapons for Planetary Governors, enough Lasguns to equip an entire PDF or the deployment of their very own private army, there is no article of war not for sale.

Notable Members

 * Hector Decebal: The patriarch of the family, often simply referred to as the 'General', is a stern and uncompromising man with little patience or sympathy for anyone outside of his direct family. A ruthless commander, he brought the mindset of a military strategist over to the business affairs of a Rogue Trader. Accepting only victory, many have crumbled before him and the reputation he built forces many into compliance before negotiations have even been started.
 * Yanna Decebal: Hector's wive and a counter-weight to her husband's black-and-white world view. While he crushes the family's opposition, it is Yanna who convinces others that things do not have to get to that point.
 * Hecaterina Decebal: The oldest daughter and handled heir, she is the one leading many of the active business affairs of the family as the General resigned to fight in the ever besieged trenches of the sector's politics. Raised in a family of the military, she is both a capable Trader and Commander, not shying away from leading the House Guard personally into combat.
 * Yannias Decebal: Younger brother to Hecaterina, he seeks to branch out the family's field of expertise, which is war. Greatly interested in art, he is known to be concerned with what comes after the Sector has been brought back under control and often seeks to limit the impact his relatives have on the many worlds of Eressa.

Decebal House Guard
Originally compromised of the men serving under Decebal in the Macharian Crusade, they have since been joined and expanded by a myriad of mercenaries, former pirates and deserters choosing service over execution. Backed up by the funds of the family, they are far better equipped than most Imperial Guard regiments and work as a force combined of infantry, tanks, ordnance and air support.
