House Hawkwood

House Hawkwood is an extended family of nobles, mostly humans, but also including a number of Star Elves and Asguardian Dwarfs. The Hawkwoods first emerged on Galactic Primus, and in the Landsraad were frequent rivals of House Corrino.

After Year 19,200, the use of the jumpgates permitted the Hawkwoods to settle on many new worlds in other solar systems, and it was a branch of House Hawkwood that first settled on the planet Albion and founded the Kingdom of Albion.

Meanwhile, House Hawkwood became somewhat of a political force within the Imperial Republic as a number of Hawkwoods gained hereditary noble seats within the Imperial Parliament while a faction of House Hawkwood founded a group of planets, the Hawkwood Dominion, independent of both the Republic and the Albion kingdom.

All three factions of the Hawkwood family strived to maintain peaceful relations between the Hawkwood Dominion, the Republic, and Albion, but in Year 25,666, the Albion branch of House Hawkwood lost the Albion monarchy to a usurper who crowned herself Queen of the Kingdom of Albion. In Year 25,679, the Hawkwood Dominion voted to join the Imperial Republic.

In matters of religion, Hawkwood family members leaned toward the United Monotheist Church.

During the time of the Logan dynasty and the dual monarchy, Hawkwood nobles alternated between support of the Logan family and the Corrinos.
