I think I can say I know more about the Mindblade Family now. They are Powerful Oligarchs. Rich and Socially Dominant in Cerran Society, much like Wealthy White Anglo-Saxon Europeans that push their ways and population on the rest of the World. It is fitting that Cerran Culture does to Orbspace what the Europeans did to North America. The Natives become an oppressed class and are pushed back. House Razorblade is Rich and Powerful because of Machiavellianism.

House RhyGear is Rich and Powerful because of Merit, Skill, and Superior Technologies. House Ei is a Family of Outcasts. They do not belong, but they are still getting the job done. They are wholesome and ethical. House Blackbook is like the Mafia and doesn't officially exist. They are a house of Spies with an Intelligence Community. They have developed adaptive behaviors to deal with each house, and don't like to draw attention to themselves.

Empress Wind Walker is seen by Old Akashmirai as just another Cerran keeping them down, and they end up going Underground like House Blackbook, which is a House that sets up a type of Underground Railroad to keep the Natives from dying out.

Old Akashmiran was a Fascist Interstellar Society, but it had been stable and normalized for Generations.

The larger the population, the more they naturally gravitate towards Fascism. Freedom is an anomaly and works in small populations for a small amount of time, and it takes comparatively more energy to maintain. It is a good life, but it is rare. 

Razus is quiet quitting House Mindblade and romancing Nightraven Razorblade. He is tired of living in Mathias' Shadow. Mathias is the Princely Favorite Son. Razus is looking for something better. House Razorblade treats him better.
