Imperial Circle

While not formally constituted as an organization or given official recognition in law, it is nonetheless a distinct social club and, as a term, immensely enlightening in political analysis.

A Family outside the Circle can spend centuries trying to work its way in, and even once inside faces a long climb to the inner halls of power.
The Imperial Circle maintains close ties to, and exercises a certain degree of control over, the Imperial Vanguard.
