Changes

The downfall of House Cassini came during the turbulent months when the [[Warrant of Trade]] of the [[Rogue Trader]] [[House Chorda|Chorda Dynasty]] of [[Rogue Trader]]s was being disputed by its baleful daughter [[Aspyce Chorda|Aspyce]]. Having come into the warrant unexpectedly, she was determined to ensure that none of her kin would challenge her, no matter their station or standing within the line. She unleashed a [[Aspyce Chorda#Chorda Suspension|ruthless campaign]] against her own, by the end of which not one was alive to dispute her claim. Several dozen of the brightest sons and daughters of House Cassini were operating on Chorda vessels at that time and died as a result. Most Navigator Houses would be able to absorb such losses, for all are well-versed in the perils of dynastic succession, but its [[Novator]], [[Sfor Cassini]], had recently died and a successor had yet to be chosen. Thus, the House was struck at the most inopportune moment possible, its inner circle slain or scattered.{{Fn|1}}

House Cassini was forced to consolidate, its surviving Navigators called home from whatever vessels they were serving on no matter where in the [[galaxy]] they were stationed. [[House Visscher]] provided invaluable aid to by replacing many of these Navigators, and thus House Cassini found itself in their debt. Eventually, the remaining heirs of the House gathered to choose a new Novator, though in truth none present had ever expected to attain that rank and none had received the requisite preparation. House Cassini would withdraw from its previous activities, having suffered such drastic losses it could no longer maintain, and take to the [[Koronus Expanse]] in search of a new destiny. While there, the bitter scions vowed, they would seek out every opportunity to work against the interests of the Chorda Rogue Trader dynasty, no matter the cost.{{Fn|1}}
