@FrostedCaramel Basically, any specific technology in question, a ship, a weapon or a installation, etc, is locked out to anyone not related to the original owner, their very DNA is the key to any gene-locked tech, otherwise, you'll be locked out and the tech remains useless.

Imperial Assessment Legatus,
There has been some....odd and troubling developments in recent years in the Dathu System, House Regis, historically, has been rather insignificant in the grand history of this great Empire, however, House Regis has had a economic and technological boom as of late, developing technologies quite ahead of their more larger, more powerful peers, we can simply go to the conclusion that the Regis' have simply hit the resource "jackpot" so to speak.
However...We have our own, more troubling theories as to their rapid ascent through the ranks. My operatives believe that the Concordat has made dealings with the fleeting House, unfortunately we have little insight on the exact details of this alliance, fortunately however, it seems that the Concordat is only so willing to export its more sophisticated technology, and has only giving the bare minimum to the House in question. But this small piece of the proverbial pie was more then enough to aid House Regis in slowly becoming a power to watch very closely.
Argus Regis, the current Patriarch of the House, was a very ill man before the Alliance with the Concordat, but for obvious reasons, the once frail Patriarch had quickly recovered in good health, and has assumed direct control of his domain.
Orbital footage from the surface of the House Capital of Jalaryias have shown that Argus has constructed a massive factory complex in a remote region of the planet, manufacturing high-tier civilian and military hardware, providing for the entire Dathu system and surrounding systems, a profession House Regis was quite lacking in.
It bares repeating, House Regis' advancement poses a possible threat if handled poorly, I'll have operatives monitor for any further developments.
Could explain how this smaller and weaker(That's one detail I forgot to mention) House has managed to get the upper hand tech-wise over other more powerful houses.
@GreivousKhan Sorry man, we'll have to be on opposite sides(I think?) :P
Plan B for my faction Idea(Sort of last minute I admit) will be an Imperial House/Duchy/etc that specialize to an extent in cybernetics, but their true mastery is in robotics, the House Head possessing his own private army of machines. If that seems good with the GM.
