Clans of Arayend - Sinall

The first leader of the clan was an ancient Arayendian lord, Asifius, whose original family name is fallen into obscurity and has been debated for a long time (being either of the following: Manec, Velu, Sheandall, or Qeo).

His sigil has been documented well:

Clan Sinall's first sigil, designed by Asifius, portrayed the twin planets of Farceni and Irrare, his home, circling the star XIN-773706.

As Asifius Sinall lived on, he amassed an impressive army under his command, vassals to his name, opposing the Khaganate on many occasions, as well as Khan-allied traders.

The first son of Asifius, Irot, followed his father's footsteps, and rightfully was accepted as his successor over the Xin Twins Fleet.

Irot's sigil repeated that of his father, only changing the scale of one of the planetary dots, and the star, signifying his greater focus on the planet Farceni rather than Irrare.

This tendency lived onto Irot's daughter, successor to the fleet's command, Arta.

Proving her prowess, tactical thinking, honor and respect of her vassals, she was the one to inherit the major part of the fleet, as her brother, Hasam, preferred taking up his own way.

Hasam's sigil portrayed extreme continuation of said trend of shrinking the silhouette of Irrare and XIN-773706. He, venturing into the galaxy alone, became a known bounty hunter, and took part in the Siege of Tarafao, rooting out the last bits of spice trading Hotuunga Syndicate out of the Tarafao system.

After the untimely death of Arta by the hands of Cird Dos - A famed and dreaded warlord - Hasam and his son, Inhadam, returned to Farceni to reinforce the Xin Twins Fleet.

Inhadam's sigil portrays his and his father's spaceships, approaching Farceni. At the time of the conflict, Hasam piloted The First Spear, while Inhadam had a spaceship of the same series, new generation - Arrowtip.

Restoring the fleet, fighting back Cird Dos and his army of droids, and, at last, Hasam taking the responsibility and taking control over the system, soon letting Inhadam inherit it from him.

Inhadam had three children: Isa, Toidam, and Solitam. Isa's sigil took responsibility over the planet of Farceni, portraying the two fortresses located on it - Asifius' Keep and House of Sinalls.

She became the figure of the people, establishing trade, education, production and more.

Toidam became one of the two male generals of Xin Twins Fleet, specializing in ground assault and tactical missions.

Meanwhile,

Solitam became the general responsible for the starships only, providing air support to Toidam if needed. Although, both had parts in the missions related solely to the other's element.

...

The only modern Sinall, Oncatron, acts as a sovereign of the Xin Twins system, controlling all planets within it, together with the massive fleet, which was summoned to help Arayend countless times during galactic conflicts against Arayendians.

Clans of Arayend - Notan

The first head of the clan, Notan Warin, founded it after the end of the Rueand War, in which the Khaganate Space Empire fought to take control of Arayend's moon, Rueand, meaning to desecrate it, mining out hallowed metals and crystals dear to the Arayend people. Notan's family, clan Warin, were traitors to the planet and its people, and he opposed them, being a great benefactor to the Arayend's victory in the conflict. After denouncing his family, he changed his sigil, starting a new clan in his name, as is tradition.

His former sigil, that of the Warin clan, with the signature seal at the top right, was replaced by a new, original design.

Notan's new sigil symbolized his strife in the Rueand War, and the monolithic, stable foundations of the future to come.

Notan had two children, son and daughter, Adidius and Newa.

Adidius became the head of the clan after their father's passing of old age, a family which then consisted of him, his sister, their partners, and each one's children. Adidius upheld to his father's legacy, and showed himself a fantastic starfighter pilot. His ship, Delta-Star, bore his insignia on both wings, painted orange - The color symbolizing justice. Adidius protected the planet from many pirate conflicts, being a part of the space sentries guarding the Arayend system.

His sigil was that of his father, with the only alteration being the framed star in the corner - The one he was named after.

Newa was just as great of a pilot as her brother, but was shielded from major battles, as he feared to lose her. In a great assault on the space frigate of Taan Cip, a pirate baron trying to establish a spice trade route through the Arayend system, Newa's spaceship (not named or called in any particular way) was hit head on by heavy blaster fire; The then young Notan second elder's cockpit was decompressed, and a heavy metal combustion caused severe explosive damage to her lower body. Despite this, the woman survived, albeit losing her legs, and hearing.

The experience has made her insecure in her own skill as a pilot, causing her to quit spaceship operation beyond most basic flights. After Adidius' life lost in sacrifice facing the dread pirate Jiri Kolaman, Newa led the Notan clan for long 43 years, before dying at the age of 104.

Adidius had two children, Tari and Icarus. While Icarus led an unremarkable and responsible life, Tari became a prodigy. She honored the clan, but not her father, destroying countless Khaganate remnants all on solo missions in her Red Crow spacecraft.

She fell ill at the age of 50, and died in less than five months after infection. Some speculate it was poison that killed her, but truth is considered to be that the adventurous and otherwise unkillable woman was "Cut down by life itself on purpose, for if she wanted, she could kill the galaxy twice over". Tari had no children, but owned a droid named "Hardtack" AN5-65, which still lives in the ancestral home of the Notan clan, the Swiftwater Valley Mansion.

Tagonlotair Notan, and his twin, Youan, were both sons of Newa and a mysterious father of whom history doesn't mention much. Both twins grew up to be great politicians, and used their dual nature in various, sometimes scandalous, schemes. Replacing each other, playing a bigger game than others expected of them, manipulating knowledge of facts and secrets in their favor when dealing with outsiders to Arayend.

Tagonlotair owned a plasma sword which he named Moon Priest. With this sword, he carried out the beheading sentence of khan Kang Til, pretender to the Khaganate Space Empire's throne. The act was accepted by both Arayend people and the Khaganate; Kang was too dangerous and cunning to be kept alive, and was missed by no one.

While the left-handed Tagonlotair mastered the sword, Youan became a somewhat-known right-handed marksman with the handheld blaster. He, too, knew his way with the plasma blade, but never became as sophisticated as his twin.

Their sigils both portrayed the rose flower, symbol of politic proficiency. Youan's sigil was marked with a star, referencing their uncle, who taught the lad spaceship flight together with planting the seed of blaster mastery.

Wayora Notan was Tagonlotair and Youan's younger sister, who for long years have worked as a mercenary in the inner rims of the galaxy, bringing some notorious reputation to the family name. Her spaceship, the Steel Glove, was sabotaged, and her hyperspace drive compromised, by a rival bounty hunter named Nere Myrca. For ten years, she was trapped in hyperspace, one moment stretching an eternity of consciousness, before finally breaking free by mere chance, and found a month later, thrown at incredible speeds by an accidental gravity sling around the Iroku-VI black hole. Rescued by her twin brothers' efforts, she settled down in the Swiftwater Valley Manor and spread what wisdom she had with the younger clan kids - But not before finding Nere, and doing cruel, but just, alterations to the novorasian's physique, making him into a decoration for the manor's vaults. Her Steel Glove has been used by many Notan teens as a training ship, before being crashed beyond repair by the grandson of Tagonlotair, Akitam.

For a generation, peace ruled over Arayend, before the Holy Tajna Empire started the foolish and short Humiliation War. No particular Notan individual has arisen in the time being.

Akitam, grandson of Tagonlotair, has become the leader of the starfighter brigade on the spearhead of Arayend's counterattack effort. While his father Ioff didn't show great leadership as a head of the family, Akitam inherited the clan head role soon after. Together with the Etour clan, he fought back the invaders, and send a message by personally sparing the life of Pope Durak after he and his men slaughtered the religious zealot's entire crew. It showed the Tajna empire forces how meek they were against Arayend might, causing the end of the war.

His sigil portrayed Rueand, and its mirror image - How his ancestors fought for the moon of Arayend, and how he did.

Meanwhile, the granddaughter of Youand, Sadia, has become known in the whole major outer rim after being at the side of Ani Emig at the Battle of Nemphys, where the Khaganate Space Empire was destroyed completely once and for all. Sadia became distanced from the clan, and bid farewell to the Arayendian culture whatsoever, cutting ties, and leaving with Ani for the unknown regions. Her only legacy to the Notan clan she left behind, besides a great deal of respect from the galaxy, was a small argon time crystal, put in a pendant. The relic is kept until this day at the Swiftwater Valley Manor.

Her sigil was notable for using the symbol very similar to natural color marking on Ani Emig's left shoulder, a cross of four parts with a star in the midst. "Destiny-crossed lovers", was said of both women.

After the Humiliation War, Akitam's son, Arebetius, soon took the mantle of clan elder, and expanded the estates in the Swiftwater Valley. His role in life, he said, was "preservation of memory", and it is by his efforts I have been able to compile this overview of the Notan clan lineage.
