According to family oral tradition, the beginnings of the noble house s'Aanikh date to the initial Rihannsu settlement of ch'Havran. Family legends indicate that Galus and Te'lis t'Annikh, two of the original 18,000 survivors of the Declared, founded the house over two millennia ago. As the Empire has grown and prospered, so too has the noble house s'Aanikh also grown and prospered in it's service. Making marriage alliances with most of the noble houses of Ch'Rihan and ch'Havran each generation, the noble house s'Aanikh has become very powerful politically and militarily and is now generally regarded as premier among the noble houses of ch'Havran.
SERVICE TO THE EMPIRE
The great house s'Aanikh has boasted more than it's share of political and military advisors to the Empire over the course of the past two millennia, This service has included several Praetors (most recently the beloved Khaiell tr'Aanikh, reknown for his patronage of the arts), and Rhhaein i-Latasalaem t'Aanikh (known for her outstanding diplomatic victories), Over the ensuing generations, the house has also produced 13 proconsul and innumberable Deihu (senators), including current rulling senate members Deihu Dhiem i-ch'Rihan tr'AAnikh and his daughter, Deihu T'Jen ir-Latasalaem t'Aanikh.
With each suceedig generation the reputation of the house for producing brilliant military strategists has increased exponentially. The famed Khre Enriov Mhia t'Aanikh of the Gallae v' ei'krih (The home guard) was instrumental in formulating the sucessful defense of the home worlds during the first Terran War. One of the most decorated heroes of the Tomed Incident of 2311, Khre Riov Nuhir 'r ch'Havran t'Annikh, is also credited with introducing the trademark Terran guardian Lions to the family compound at Latsalem. As of this rotation house memebers currently serving the Empire militarily include Khre Riov Aidioann t'Aanikh (admrial of the Gallae v'Anofv-sen) and Khre-Riov Yhea i-Ra'tleihfi tr'Aanika, Riov of the gallant Rakata. flagship of the Gallae v'Rakata, and his eldest son, Erein S'Ten i-Latasalem tr'AAnikh
There has been some speculation that elements of the AAnikh family are involved in the underground movement. However no actual evidence has been obtained and the family's high status has protected it even from the Tal' Shiar for now.

Bio: Yhea tr'Aanikh*
Yhea was born the equivalent of 50 earth years ago (young in vulcanoid terms). He was born on ch'Rihan, homeworld of the Romulan Empire, in the capitol city of Ra'tleihfi. The AAnikh family dates back to the founding of ch'Rihan. His di'ranov or father is a Deihu, a high senator of the senate. As such his family has had much influence within the empire. Yhea had the best schooling on ch'Rihan due to his social position. As such he is above the typical naval officer in intelligence and decorum. He became fascinated by humans at an early age which would later influence his decision to enter the Imperial Fleet. Due to his station in life Yhea should most likely have served in a political role such as Deihu or an Liairhi (ambassador). However, he felt he would most likely be able to study humans in the military, specifically as a starship commander. Yhea entered the Imperial Star Academy and graduated with high honors on his own merit (without the help of any favors). Upon graduation he quickly rose through the ranks of the Fleet. His first command was of a twelve-man scout ship. After distinguishing himself by defeating a band of Orion Pirates he was promoted to command of a Science vessel. He served onboard the science vessel IRV Fethraie for 5 earth years before being transferred to a D'Deridex class warbird as a part of it's command staff. After 2 years service onboard the IRV Korthre he applied for replacement command of the only Romulan vessel in Bravo Fleet, the IRV Rakata.
