Stances

= Aquilian
Stance on Houses and Non-House Factions =

= This is currently being worked on by @Centurion
Aquila Song Atticus, our in-house liaison to PRISM, and includes ideas that
have been discussed in our channels. If you see him talking about it please
feel free to add to the conversation or ask if he would like help. =

**“House”**
Vagrant
should not be validated by calling them House Vagrant.  They mock us by calling themselves a
House.  If we are to call them anything
it will be scum, trash, and pirates.
They are nothing more than nomadic leeches syphoning off the empire’s
resources and we will treat them as such.
We must burn away these parasites before their infection spreads other
fringe elements that lay within the empire.
They have stolen ships and goods and they threaten the safety of the
empire’s people.  We will not tolerate
their existence.

**The**
Deathless
are a mercenary company, so you can trust them as long as you can pay
them.  In small scale conflicts, they are
good men to have on your side.  That
said, you can’t count on them to keep fighting in the long run.  We, as a House, don’t get involved with them
and we would recommend to the other houses and people of the empire to do the
same.  They only serve themselves and we
serve The Throne and it’s people, so when things get tough, Aquila will be
there long after the Deathless have gone back to counting their money.

**The UPC** may have a lot to say
about how the empire is being run and the ways that it could be run
better.  Speaking out against the empire
isn’t a crime and whether they like it or not, they are still people of the
empire, so we in Aquila will protect them the same as any other.  Right now the only crimes they’ve committed
is against art with all those posters and signs the will stick on any semi-flat
surface.  We are not concerned with
stopping them from spreading their message until they decide to take up arms
and harm the people we are sworn to protect.

**House**
Serpens
did the empire a great service by ridding us of the former emperor.  I want to thank them for making the hard
choice between serving the empire and protecting themselves.  That said, allowing anyone to go unpunished
for the assassination of an emperor sets a very dangerous precedent.  It is Crux’s place to judge them for these
crimes and someone needs to be punished for this act.  We stand with our fellow Houses Minor, but we
cannot allow this to become normal in our society.

**The 14 Red**
Dogs

**House Crux**

**House Vela**

**House**
Reticulum

**House Fornax**

**House**
Eridanus
is important to our economy and thus, funds much of our forces.  They help provide us with the money we need
to our armies protect the empire.  Just
as Fornax and Reticulum arm us, Eridanus keeps us able to move.  They want peace and security to fulfill their
role in our society and it is our duty to help provide that for them.

**House Lyra**

**House Pyxis**

**House**
Triangulum

**The High**
Church

**The Prism**
Network

**ACRE** - Just as we protect the
people, ACRE feeds the people.  They do
much more than that, but that is most of our interactions with them as a
House.  They supply us with food, entertainment,
and other basic needs.  They are
necessary to the function of our society.
