Karasu Clan

The Karasu clan is a noble house seated in Yamatai (Planet), but whose subsidiary families can be found throughout the entire Yamatai Star Empire. The Clan of the present operates in banking and accounting fields, though they do maintain the Karasu Samurai.

History

Their Karasu line predates the Yamatai Star Empire, and its roots lie in the ancient Black Claw Star Empire. The Karasu Clan made its early fortune in the slave trade, managing and organizing the sale and movement of sentient beings. Karasu Samurai acted as enforces of this trade. When the slave trade was made illegal during the rise of the Yamatai Star Empire, the Karasu Clan shifted its activities. Now, they make their money in law, accounting, and banking. The Clan is patriarchal, and it practices agnatic (male-only) succession.

Samurai

Karasu Samurai are a part of the legacy of the clan. These are its defenders, and they serve as protectors of senior clan members.

Military

Members of the Clan can be found serving with distinction in the Star Army of Yamatai.

Property

The Clan operates several banks, law firms, and accounting firms across the Yamatai Star Empire. They make most of their money through these organizations. They own several estates of varying size on Yamatai (Planet) as well as smaller properties on many colony worlds.
