History

Family History of House Al-Kharfi

The Al-Kharfi family, a once-noble and influential house, has deep roots in the Terra III system. Known for their unmatched wealth, sharp diplomacy, and towering presence in both business and politics, the family flourished for generations before experiencing an inevitable fall. Yet, their legacy is far from forgotten, and today, the Al-Kharfi name is experiencing a resurgence under the banner of Aurum Viatoris Dominatus (AVD).

The Rise of House Al-Kharfi

Founded in the early years of the UEE, the patriarch of the family, Bashir Al-Kharfi, was a shrewd merchant who saw beyond the stars. His commercial ventures quickly expanded across Stanton, Pyro, and the Nyx systems, creating a vast trade network that thrived during the early UEE years. He built strong alliances with various merchant houses, earning the family’s influence in political circles and laying the groundwork for the dynasty’s long-lasting success.

The Golden Age

The most prosperous era for House Al-Kharfi came under the leadership of Salah Al-Kharfi, whose reign was marked by strategic expansion and the establishment of elite military forces. The Al-Kharfi Guard, a highly trained defense unit, was created to protect the family’s assets and interests. Salah’s diplomatic prowess ensured alliances with the highest echelons of power within the UEE, granting House Al-Kharfi unparalleled access to both economic and political spheres.

The Fall: The Synthworld Crisis

By the late 28th century, the family’s fortunes began to change. Jamal Al-Kharfi, the head of the family at the time, initiated a venture into the controversial Synthworld Project, a terraforming and colonization initiative. The project encountered severe technical and financial difficulties, draining the family’s resources. In desperation, Jamal took large loans from unstable sources, but mounting debts and the project’s failure pushed the family into economic collapse. By the early 29th century, House Al-Kharfi had fallen from grace.

Rebirth: The Founding of Aurum Viatoris Dominatus

In November 2954 SEY, two brothers—*Vitus Veritas Al-Kharfi* and Custos Al-Kharfi*—determined to reclaim their legacy, signed the Charter of *Aurum Viatoris Dominatus in the restored east wing of the old Al-Kharfi manor. Their signature marked the rebirth of their family’s vision and ambitions.

The family standard—three interlaced golden arcs—was unveiled, symbolizing vigilance, wisdom, and unity, setting the tone for a new era of purpose and resolve.

Organization History of Aurum Viatoris Dominatus (AVD)

The Founding (Late 2954 SEY)

The rebirth of the Al-Kharfi legacy came in Late 2954 SEY, when Vitus Veritas Al-Kharfi and Custos Al-Kharfi founded Aurum Viatoris Dominatus (AVD) — the Dominion of the Golden Traveler.

  • November 17, 2954 SEY: The Charter of AVD is signed in the east wing of the old Al-Kharfi manor. The family standard is unveiled: three interlaced golden arcs symbolizing vigilance, wisdom, and unity.
  • December 2, 2954 SEY: Twenty loyalists—veteran pilots, former Al-Kharfi Guard tacticians, and finance experts—pledge seed credits. AVD acquires two MISC Prospectors and a refitted Drake Cutlass Black as its initial fleet.
  • December 16, 2954 SEY: AVD’s maiden voyage successfully delivers 1,000 SCU of Tellurium from Terra III to Port Olisar, securing a 10% profit and generating word-of-mouth among Stanton traders.

Early Success and Expansion (2955)

  • January–March 2955 SEY: AVD forges stable trade routes across the Stanton system and launches its first resource contracts with independent mining colonies. The Cutlass Black is upgraded with enhanced cargo shielding. The Prospectors are deployed on mining ops near Calliope and Lyria.
  • April 1, 2955 SEY: AVD secures a strategic partnership with Roberts Space Industries, focusing on refined minerals from microTech’s icy moons.
  • May 1, 2955 SEY: AVD stands at over fifty active members, four mid-tier cargo ships, and three dedicated scout wings. With an expanding reputation and diversified income streams, the Dominion of the Golden Traveler looks to the future with confidence.

Looking Ahead: Future Ambitions

With a firm foundation in commerce, AVD’s ambitions now turn toward security operations, industrial logistics, and fleet enhancement. The brothers envision the founding of the Veritas Institute, a training ground for commercial, strategic, and diplomatic excellence.

From its noble roots, AVD aims not only to reclaim the Al-Kharfi name but to etch it into the annals of galactic power. Their long-term goal: to shape the future of the UEE’s frontier — economically, strategically, and culturally.
