Fel dynasty

The Fel dynasty was a prominent Imperial family that was known for its military service to the Galactic Empire and the Empire of the Hand before ascending to become the ruling house of the Imperial Remnant and re-organizing it as the Fel Empire. Before the ascension of Jagged Fel, the first of the Fel Emperors, his family—or at least, his parents—were media stars of the first Galactic Empire and later associated with the Empire of the Hand and the Chiss Ascendancy. At least three members were dedicated soldiers—Soontir Fel was one of the Empire's most decorated pilots and his son Jagged flew with distinction during the Yuuzhan Vong War. The family was also linked to one of the most famous Rebellion and later on New Republic families, the Antilles family of Corellia, by marriage through Syal Antilles Fel, though due to their different positions in the political fabric of the galaxy, they had little contact for much of the Galactic Civil War.

Following the conclusion of the Second Galactic Civil War, the Fel family's ties to the Galactic Alliance were reinforced with the marriage of Jagged Fel to Jaina of the House of Solo. Jagged's descendants ruled the Fel Empire until Darth Krayt's coup of 130 ABY, which overthrew Emperor Roan Fel, the third Fel Emperor. Following a period of civil war between Fel's faction and Krayt's faction, the Fel dynasty was restored under Roan's daughter Marasiah as the Empire's first Empress.
