Fief of Gangishree Awarded
In a move that was as surprising as it was sudden, it was announced today that the Emperor had decided to award the newly christened Baronetchy of Gangishree to House Ecaz. This after the Ecazi had boldly requested said fief in a petition to His Majesty. Many thought that such a brazen request from a family so recently returned from disgrace would be doomed to fail. It would seem though that His Majesty thought otherwise.
Though the exact wording of House Ecaz's request might be in doubt, it would seem obvious that they must have offered compelling reason for their case. Given the success that they have enjoyed of late here on Yorba with matters of commerce, they have some history of being able to develop planetary economies. Perhaps his Majesty believes they can be similarly successful on Gangishree.
Whatever the reasoning though, they will face a daunting challenge. Gangishree will be like an untamed wilderness. At this point there is no concrete information on what resources might be there or how much, if any, population there is for a work force. If House Ecaz can make this world a productive member of the Imperial community anytime in the near future, it will be quite the feather in their cap.
