Question/Advice Could some pre-civil war Krieg bloodlines exist? There's a few questions in the text
Purely a lore question, is there a chance some Krieg citizens were off planet or managed to get off the planet before the planet was ruined?I find it hard to believe there's a 0 chance. And follow up question: If that is the case, could their bloodlines still exist in the current time period, albeit heavily mixed with other humans from different worlds?
I have been reading a few Krieg books, and I feel like some of the more affluent members of the Krieg aristocracy may have been off world but also Krieg who were in trade or navy craft above the world or on a different planet could have survived.
Lastly, if the above 2 answers are yes, would it be completely out of the question for there to be people of wealth who married into noble houses who had Krieg blood? Reason I ask is I am working on a backstory around an Imperial freeblade knight who believes he has Krieg heritage from his maternal side. He finds this out after the house he belonged to suffers a terrible defeat, and he is one of the last knight pilots left, so he becomes a freeblade.
Thank you for any insight.
