The Inheritance Exemption represented an agreement endorsed by the Ten merchant houses, who together held dominion over the Kuat Drive Yards. This agreement aimed to settle disagreements among the families, enabling them to dedicate their efforts to commercial activities. The document ensured that the Kuat family, a family with a history of respect, would have perpetual authority over the starship production plants. In each generation, a family member would be picked to oversee the corporation for the financial gain of all the Kuati governing lineages.
