Quite so. The house of Soandso is one of the great Salusian military families, like the Aldzinjals and the Satoris, though unlike the others, almost all the famous Soandsos over the centuries have been Royal Navy officers, and especially unlike the almost calculatedly un-aristocratic Aldzinjals, the family has several noble titles to its name. Captain Sir Doran Soandso ISG, Bart., is the twelfth Baronet Soandso, and one of the few to leave the RSN for an appointment in the Imperial Guards. Admiral of the Black the Most Honourable the Marquis of Soandso RSN (Ret.), the officer who (as plain old Captain Alford Soandso) had the distinction of being Princess Asrial's commanding officer before she joined the Wedge Defense Force, is his great-uncle.
