History
Marquis Littenheim had a longstanding feud with Duke Otho von Braunschweig as both were son-in-laws to Kaiser Friedrich IV. As Friedrich IV had no heirs, this made both Marquis Littenheim and Duke Braunschweig, through the proxies of their children, contenders for control of the throne of the Galactic Empire.
When Kaiser Friedrich IV suddenly died in November 796 UC (487 IC / 3596 CE), Marquis Littenheim's 14 year old daughter, Sabine von Littenheim, became a contender for the throne. Ultimately, the alliance between Imperial prime minister Klaus von Lichtenlade and admiral Reinhard von Lohengramm gave the throne to Erwin Josef II. Refusing to give up, Marquis Littenheim allied himself with the Braunschweig family, who had supported the Otto von Braunschweig's own daughter, Elisabeth von Braunschweig for the throne, and formed the Lippstadt Alliance.
Family Life
It was a suppressed fact that Sabine, and Elisabeth von Braunschweig, had inherited a genetic disease via their mothers, who were sisters. Under the Inferior Genes Exclusion Act, this would have made Sabine and Elisabeth ineligible for the throne, and would have disgraced both Duke Braunschweig and Marquis Littenheim.
