The House of Kasara: an
introduction
The origins of this family line date back approximately two
centuries ago when it was a predominantly Imperial Klingon line.
As a Major Family Line, House Kasara is a forerunner of innovation
in the Klingon Empire; it actively promotes the superiority of
females in many fields and encourages them to achieve highly.
As such, there are many highly placed Kasaras in the Empire who
are female.
House Leadership
The current Epetai of the line is Thought Admiral Kamla Epetai
Kasara; a strong woman who is loyal to the Empire and dedicated
to the cause of the Grand Alliance. The first female head of
the House of Kasara, she is also one of the few female Admirals
to be found in the Empire. This but emphasizes her skills in
leadership and her power within the Komerex.
Admiral Kamla was recently granted a seat on the Klingon High
Council, partly due to the growing influence of the Kasara Alliance;
a network of major Klingon lines allied through consortships,
adoptions and friendship pacts. Currently, the Kasara Alliance
has connections with the following family lines: Baclar, Cheghjihtah,
De'Hal, Dyzala, Decara, G'Bcyn, Jev, K'Hoska, K'YaRT'ash, Subaiesh
and T'aw.
Also in a notable position is the heiress to the line, the
Lady K'Zin Epetai Kasara, oldest daughter to Admiral Kamla. Lady
K'Zin currently holds the influential position as Klingon Ambassador
to Terra and heads the Klingon Imperial Diplomatic Corps mission
located there. She is presently consorted to the Leaders of Houses
Dyzala, Decara, Jev, K'YaRT'ash and T'aw amongst others, contributing
to her high status.
House Composition
The House of Kasara is presently a matriarchal line and it
is best not to insult or raise the ire of any high-ranked Kasara
female; as all have graduated from the KaSMA with honours. The
line seeks to embrace the ideals of the Grand Alliance and believes
that all races and species have their own strengths and skills.
House Kasara is an open, extended family line with a composition
of 35% Klingon/Human Fusion, 40% Imperial Klingon, 20% Klingon/Romulan
Fusion and 5% Other (Human, Vulcan, etc.). The line is estimated
to have between 30,000 to 35,000 members throughout the Empire
with approximately 60+ members (as well as another 100+ Kasara
Alliance "relatives") located on Terra. It welcomes
new members, particularly females, who have intelligence, skill,
strength, loyalty and are willing to bring honour to the line.
House Kasara has become a powerful line in the past century
for many reasons, however, it is also well known for its two
private schools; the Kasara School of Diplomacy and the
Kasara School of Military Arts, and for its large Kasara
Merchant Marine Fleet.
Kasara School of Diplomacy (KaSDi)
The skill of true diplomacy is a relative newcomer to the
Klingon Empire and so far the task of training diplomats has
fallen to the hands of the staff of the Kasara School of Diplomacy
(KaSDi). Through a continuing series of visiting guest speakers,
the KaSDi familiarizes its students with the cultures and customs
of other worlds, as well as training them in a variety of languages.
The KaSDi's track record is impressive, the majority of the Klingon
Imperial Diplomatic Corps has received some or all of its
training at the School.
Kasara School of Military Arts (KaSMA)
The Kasara School of Military Arts or KaSMA, is the
best in its field and has an overwhelming number of applications
each year, and yet only one in a hundred are skilled enough to
meet the minimum qualifications for entrance and only a small
percentage of those ever make it to graduation. All the instructors
are experienced veterans, each specializing in a different aspect
of military theory, combat readiness, tactics and theory, martial
arts and weapons training. Many of the students, after a series
of "field stages", often go on to become instructors
at other schools in the Empire. It is strongly rumoured that
this School also serves to train the best assassins in the Klingon
Empire.
Kasara Merchant Marine Fleet (KMMF)
The Kasara Merchant Marine Fleet (KMMF) has connections
on many worlds and this has helped in many aspects; the KaSDi
receives up-to-date reports on the political and social situations
on various planets; more often than not, before word of anything
reaches the ears of the Empire. The Kasara Merchant Marine
Fleet has also helped the Kasara line to reach an independent
status by accumulating extreme wealth, and accordingly, extreme
power and influence both inside and outside the Klingon Empire.
House Kasara Press
House Kasara has explored the field of publishing with House
Kasara Press. It operates on the belief that information
and knowledge can prevent mistrust and misunderstanding both
within and outside the boundaries of the Klingon Empire. It is
presently working on a series of booklets aimed at demystifying
Klingon culture, society and rituals to non-Klingons. (It's first
publication, the KIDC Diplomatic Planetary Handbook was
nominated in 1995 to the Canadian Aurora Awards for Science Fiction
and Fantasy.)
