	House Majid were vagabonds living beyond the sight of the Imperium before they came to the Prosperitas Sector. They bear an ancient Warrant of Trade, but had for many years been beyond the reach of the Imperium. When their ships emerged from the [[~~Nemean Gulf~~]] in 263.M41 as a rag-tag fleet, the House owned little but the weary hulls of their voidships and the clothes on their backs. For nearly three hundred years they used their void knowledge to their advantage, transforming into a house of wealth and prosperity, claiming treasures from beyond the rim and forging new trade routes for the Imperium.		#REDIRECT [[Minor_and_Former_Houses_of_the_Prosperitas_Sector#Fallen_and_Lost_Houses]]

	For years, the House presented itself as reputable and devout, its twin faiths of the Emperor and Omnissiah divergent but not heretical, its relationship with the Imperial faith and especially the [[Ecclesiarchy_Loyalists\|Missionaria Galactica]] one of close piety. House Majid vessels operated for many years as the long-reaching arm of the [[Prosperitas Crusade]]. It was rare for a House Majid vessel to not be accompanied by a Missionary of the Imperial Faith, given that the House projects a reputation of faithful dutiful servants.

	The wealth they developed using their Warrant of Trade was extreme, and the House could be found everywhere. Known for the strict discipline with which it treated its scions, the House went to extreme lengths to ensure it presented itself better than some of the more decadent nobles of the Prosperitas Sector. House Majid’s wealth was a sign of better times for the Sector, and some believed that one day it might eventually supplant the wealth of its greatest rival [[House Durovera]]... if it were not for the sudden surge of that House's fortunes under [[Armelius Durovera]].

	~~=== The Fall of House Majid ===~~

	The House's good fortune would have continued if it were not for the trade wars of 593.M41 when [[House Vilas-Lobo]] launched a sudden and coordinated attack on the trade holdings of the House, during which several Majid trade fleet vessels were destroyed or captured. The House regrouped at its agri-world holding of [[Midsummer]] to prepare for a counterattack.

	~~Perhaps if the House had been permitted to regroup, it would have survived, but it was to suffer a second devastating betrayal.~~

	Scion Erydia Majid, of the Plentiful Bounty, had brought shame on her family, and [[Sector_Report_VII\|in 593]] as the fleet was mustering above Midsummer she was summoned before Lady-Captain Khadija Majid to answer for her actions. However, rather than face her liege and accept consequences for her actions, the Scion released some form of ancient weapon upon the Majid fleet. The effect was devastating. Ship after ship was disabled, and crippled systems shutting down led to the deaths of many of the House over the few mad hours that followed.

	The House survived, but at great cost. In order just to pay to repair its ships, it had to free its Cadet-House Volkov-Majid to become the newly arisen [[House Volkov]] and grant them Midsummer. Its trajectory since that bloody day has been one of revenge: House Vilas-Lobo wounded the House, but Erydia crippled it.

	Despite this setback, it was Majid ships that aided the evacuation of [[Olethros Secunda]], with Lady-Captain Khadija spending her life defending the colony long enough to allow much of its population to be evacuated in the face of Archenemy invasion. She left her niece Amira Majid to inherit her position as Lady-Captain.

	As the close of the 5th century of the 41st Millenium draws near, House Majid is a shadow of its former self: a House on the brink of extinction. But it has survived worse, and its faith and fury fuels its drive to continue on. Lady-Captain Amira Majid is nothing if not a resourceful woman: despite the horrendous costs to herself she has survived the near-extermination of her House - and is not as young and feckless as some Scions of the House. It seems likely enough that through savage determination the House will continue, even if it returns to its roots as an itinerant Trade house. However, with the House largely spent as a power, the system of balance between the Houses has been thrown off.

	Perhaps this stubborn will to survive is more than that though, for Lady-Captain Amira has a far greater mark of shame on her than other Majid scions: the one who brought the fall of her House was her own flesh and blood, her own daughter, and that betrayal runs deeper for her then any other Scion of the House - a shame shared only by her wife.

	~~=== Notable Nobles of House Majid ===~~

	'''Lady-Captain Amira Majid''' is the current head of House Majid. She is the niece of Lady-Captain Khadija Majid, and former lead Void-Mistress of House Majid’s combat and trade protection forces. Amira was known as her aunt’s right hand when it came to void engagements until Khadija's death in 594. She is well-renowned for a storied history in the Imperial Navy, where she earned the rank of Commodore. She is known for being a ruthless woman, not afraid of the lash or the bolt-pistol when it comes to disciplining those beneath her, but she is well respected by her crews.

	Her wife '''Septima''' is known to be a gentler soul and presents outwardly as a kinder woman than her wife, though there are numerous rumours that she is just as ruthless, and her enemies often vanish before they can threaten her family. Although Lady-Captain Amira now leads House Majid, the couple bear the weight of the shame for the destruction of their House's fortune. The renegade Scion of the House, Erydia, who unleashed a techno-viral attack that devastated the entire House Majid fleet in orbit of their vassal agri world [[Midsummer]], is their own child.

	Both women have sworn to bring their child to justice. Their flagship was the Dauntless Mk II-class light cruiser ''Fort Briggs'', one of the few ships able to escape the destruction of the House Majid fleet, but since its sacrifice at [[Olethros Secunda]] along with Lady-Captain Khadija, they have commanded the Majid flagship, the Cardinal-class heavy cruiser ''[[Ships of Note of the Prosperitas Sector\|Torchbearer]]''.

	'''Lady-Captain Khadija Majid [deceased 594.M41]''' was once holder of the House Majid Warrant of Trade. Khadija was generally considered to be a warmer and easier individual to work with - a canny and careful operator who built her wealth as much on trade deals with Sector factions as she did on exploiting the Imperial frontier. However, when House Majid fortunes were utterly devastated in a betrayal by their own, she survived by sheer tenacity, and led her ships in a hunt for the renegade Scion behind the attack. Her vengeance was never achieved, as the Lady-Captain gave her life protecting refugees evacuating from the Imperial colony of [[Olethros Secunda]].

	~~'''Scion Erydia Majid''', a hunted renegade, is the daughter of Amira and Septima. She is held responsible for her aunt Khadija's betrayal and the deaths of thousands of House retainers.~~

'''Lady-Captain Khadija Majid [deceased 594.M41]''' was once holder of the House Majid Warrant of Trade. Khadija was generally considered to be a warmer and easier individual to work with - a canny and careful operator who built her wealth as much on trade deals with Sector factions as she did on exploiting the Imperial frontier. However, when House Majid fortunes were utterly devastated in a betrayal by their own, she survived by sheer tenacity, and led her ships in a hunt for the renegade Scion behind the attack. Her vengeance was never achieved, as the Lady-Captain gave her life protecting refugees evacuating from the Imperial colony of [[Olethros Secunda]].
