Imperial House Rhych

The Imperial House Rhych was the imperial house of the Imperator, or Emperor, of the Volkar Stellar Imperium. Its seat was the Volkar homeworld of Rhych Kavalk. The imperial house of the Stellar Imperium and its predecessor the Imperium, from the accession of the Emperor Rhych following the Great Sundering in 1499 to the Stellar Imperium's defeat at the end of the Volkar Revolutionary Wars, the Imperial House Rhych was rendered extinct with the execution of the last surviving member, Mrhach, by the Commonwealth of Kavalk in 2341.

While it was not typically grouped among the Great Houses, and certainly lesser in individual power than any of them, the Imperial House Rhych was typically considered symbolically preeminent.

All members of the Imperial House were styled Lord (or Lady for female Imperial House members). The head of the Imperial House, who apart from a brief period from 1609 to 1614, was always also the Imperator (or Imperatrix) as well, was styled High Lord (or High Lady).
