Lady Karissa Ann Howard, 2nd Duchess of Norfolk Territory

The Beck's of Elmhurst Estate

Lord Edward Christopher Beck arrived on Star-Base 12 in 2170, some eleven years after Lord Patrick William Howard did.

The USS Constantinople commanded by Captain Richard James orbited around Star-Base 12 in 2170 with ten additional families from Post World War Three Planet Earth from Heathrow International Airport, but these families that survived were not aristocrats but rather gentry families.

The difference between an aristocrat and a gentry is this"- What is the difference between gentry and aristocracy? The gentry class was well-born and of high social status. The aristocracy was made up of individuals of noble birth or born under a specific name tied to the hereditary power within the government.

Three such families were The Beck's, The Collin's and The Cravens among many others that were aboard on The USS Constantinople.

The head of the Beck's was Lord Edward Christopher Beck and his wife, Lady Lady Louisa Augusta Lennox, and the head of The Collins as Lord Joshua Collins and his wife, Lady  Naomi Collins, and they were third cousins sharing the same great-great-great-grandfather, Lord Edmund Collins, through one of his sons, and Lord William Craven and his wife, Lady Elizabeth Berkeley and there was also Lord Alexander Stuart and his wife, Lady Euphemia Ross among many other gentry families.

When they arrived on Star-Base 12, they settled either in Lennox Territory or Bedford Territory, but the descendants of Lord Alexander Stuart left Star-Base 12 in 2299, and relocated to Star-Base 10, and The Beck's, The Collins, and The Craven's remained on Star Base 12.

Lord Patrick William Howard recorded in his journal that Lady Margaret delivered Lady Beck's first child in 2175, and he was named Lord David Christopher Beck and a daughter named Lady Louisa Augusta Beck in 2180, and he recorded the birth of Lady Craven's first daughter, Lady Maria Margaret in 2179 and their son, Lord George Augustus Craven in 2184, and he recorded that Lady Collins gave birth to their son, Lord Desmond Collins in 2180 and a daughter, Lady Flora in 2185.

Lord Patrick William Howard didn't record the birth to Lord Alexander Stuart's first born child in his journal.

Lord Patrick William Howard died in 2190, and his son, Lord Frederick William Howard didn't care who was born on Star-Base 12.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior tells his son, Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR " The Beck's are petty aristocrats and became one by marrying a distant relative of your great-grandmother's. They are social-climbers."

"They are not aristocrats and they are gentry and I will not have my heir marrying beneath him." Lord Charles Andrew Senior states.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR tells his father " Well give it to Lord Richard Edward II or Lord Edwin William then."

Lord Richard Edward Senior tells his oldest brother " Don't pass the buck onto me, you are our father's oldest son."

"Lord Edwin William who is 18 years old tells his older brother " I don't want the damn territory."
