'''House Moritani''' emerged during the [[Battle of Corrin]] (88 BG), when [[Shesuet Corrino]] ascended to become the first [[Padishah Emperor]]. '''House Moritani''' had fully supported the [[House Corrino|Corrino]] plans. [[Shesuet Corrino]], acknowledging the Moritani contribution to his cause, granted his '''Moritani''' allies a baronial title and the planetary fief of [[Grumman]]. Consequently '''House Moritani''' has remained a loyal ally of the [[House Corrino|Corrino]] Empire. {{ref|Behind_the_Scenes}}
