Warrior prince Shey Tapani rose from House Melantha and unified the houses in a series of bloody civil wars which spanned nearly twenty years. Two houses were destroyed by Tapani during the wars, and a third faltered and was absorbed within a century.
Tapani laid foundations for a regional empire which would last for 6,000 years. Shey Tapani's descendants consolidated the empire over 5,000 years. Sixteen dynasties ruled the Tapani Empire in turn, most of which hailed from either House Vormelantha, House Vormecetti, or House Vorpelagia.
Star Wars: Shards is a work of pure, unabashed fiction. In fact, it considers itself rather heroic, noble, and quite proud of itself.
The opinions expressed on the in-world pages or within quotation boxes are those of the characters and should not be confused with either of the authors, since the characters and authors tend to disagree a lot. But … This is the Way.
Names of characters, places, events, organizations and locations are all creations of the authors' imaginations for this fictitious setting, except where credit is given to the sources of inspiration. Any resemblance to persons living, dead, or reanimated is coincidental.
