===Notable Noble Houses===
====The Olavis Family====
The original Olavis was the head chef during the Brimstone's fateful voyage. Growing up on an agriworld, he was well familiar with running a farm as efficiently as possible. Realizing the value that good will quickly gain, Olavis enlisted as many farmhands that he could, and quickly occupied as much land as he could. Generations later, the Olavis family produces all of the rice, fruit supplement, "beef and chicken" (dogs and bats), and any other speciality foods required to be grown. Always vying for more territory on the lower middle hive, they run a sizable private security contractor and own much of the lower north east. They gained the nickname "5th tower farmers" after a natorious gang they employed as protection called the "5th tower orkz", who were known for painting themselves green. The descendants of this gang make up their current security forces. The current patriarch is Corvo Olavis, a ruthless man who marks up his prices 200%. A known warmonger, he sponsors as many local gangs as he can, hoping for warfare to spread so he can take the territory damaged in its wake.

====Thaddeus and Yao Partnership====
The Thaddeus and Yao Partnership effectively united all the Gas farming facilities under a single management, with the Thaddeus noble house arriving to Hua Yuan from the greater Imperium to farm radon and other abundant gasses while the ancient Yao clan harvested Kaihonium, neon, and oxygen as fuel, light, and air for the hive. They independently amassed lesser houses and clans under their banners in an attempt to form a monopoly over the atmosphere of the moon. After nearly a decade of cutthroat politics and aggressive economic warfare, the two powerhouses eventually saw that it would be more beneficial to detente and forge their houses into one, rather than risk a war that could literally suffocate the Hive. Seen as a political move to line the pockets of the elders of the houses, the two noble clans state that the arraigned marriage between preordained youths of both houses for the sake of Imperial unity and a show of strength and cooperation. Currently the arraignment has reached a standstill as each house is locked in litigation, each side attempting to shape the future for their immediate benefit, neither side satisfied with the wedding contracts or dowry. Meanwhile the greater bodies of the noble houses cooperate as economic and political allies in a tense peace, waiting anxiously for the talks to resolve in unity.

====The Duboui Family====
The House of Duboui runs 85% of the legitimate mining operations in Hua Yuan with an iron fist. Literally. While none of them are Mechanicus by any stretch of the imagination, they consider themselves to be "Cybernetic Enthusiasts". They have deals with the mechanicus for top of the line implants and replacements for the family. The rumor mill states that they want to control that branch of the mechanicus financially as a "Nest Egg".

====The Mintichrius Family====
One of the most ancient houses in the Hive, House Mintichrius, or the Minty crew, was established soon after impact by the then chief mechanic Johann "Minty" Mintichrius, what was left of his division began immediate breach repairs on the ship and, due to much of the command chain and mechanicus cult being killed or maimed upon impact, was defacto authority over most of the engineering and maintenance crews. His leadership in the early days is responsible for much of the hives ramshackle construction and shoddy electrical work. His motto of "A job worth doing is worth doing badly" still stands among his dynasty and their crews of wirers, pipers and voidsuited construction workers.

====The Kuàijì Family====
A divergent branch of the Commander's descendant house, House Kuàijì commands the Adamantine, Gold, and Electrum mining on Hua Yuan. They are highly devote to their esoteric beliefs, and work extensively with the noble guilds of Hua Yuan, exporting their ores to nearby worlds. Large supporters of the Imperial presence on Hua Yuan, they especially work with members of the Ecclesiarchy, giving the territory for the Sororitis to set up a base of operations. Because of these relations, they have solidified their place in the Imperium's eyes, but have become targets for the other noble houses.
