Ronan Belleza sat on his throne, the Belleza Dynasty have existed since the very dawn of the Imperium, their origins date back as one f the Emperor's most loyal subjects, who have chosen themselves as Rogue Traders as soon as the Unification wars end, being loyalty they are to the Emperor, they're warrant of trade are one of the few have more exceptions compared to the rest sign by the Emperor, even more so post heresy

Like they're allowed to keep a world on their own without paying tithe as long as they keep doing interest to the Imperium

And giving an Emperor class Battleship which they name Eterprise because of family history being captains and admirals whose flagship is name Enterprise for the last tens of thousands of years, that which would be modified for the next 10,000 years by the Bellezas to make more advvance, it's faster, more durable, better space, crew comfort, better command and control and firepower despite it has only two gun decks which is 5 main plasma macrocannon compared to 6 launch bays capable of storing tens of thousands of aircraft and added with their cargo and more, as they have the money and maintain along with 30 battleships at their disposal and the rest thousands of warships that protect their little empire

Which a reason they're giving such a newly built warship due to one of them manage to smuggle supplies to the Emperor's armies and his growing lab, not to mention the generals who led his Imperial army and the occasion a thunder warrior, again name being Ronan have died during the battle of MT.Ararat, their loyalty have proven, unlike those techno-barbarian warlords whom have chosen to be Rogue Traders as punishment, with the Belleza and other dynasties are rewarded with their loyalty

Their trade empire is 100 worlds bordering with Ultramar

And then, when Guilliman is discovered by the Emperor, they're tons of Bellezas in Ultramar that which the Belleza dynasty decided to make their little trade empire near the border of Ultramar and are very loyal to Guilliman seeing him the better leader than the Emperor, that will have foster strong relation both political, economical and military up to this day  as they're both ready to aid each other should the need arises

They though they were the last line only to find they're more Bellezas in Macragge that which one of the first batch of Ultramarines is a Belleza name Ronan, one who will be one of the most feared and respected space marine commanders especially during the Heresy and scouring, he too will have his own chapter that still exist to this day

Which is reason why they choose their little empire's location, it's still strategic location with vast resources and trade routs which they have monopoly of and they don't need to pay their tithe which made them very wealthy Rogue Trader

They still have their record of their origin of the family as far back as 100,000 B.C. and somehow they're the only human who still uses a christian cross a symbol and getting away with it, and likely due to their action and proven loyalty the Emperor before he was being worship by his Son Lorgar which made them practically the oldest family alive, and predating the Emperor

Their very long line dynasty post heresy, they have join many wars, rescue, colonize, explore, smuggle you name it

During the great crusade to present day, they've drawn the map and even with the Great Crusade ended they do still small crusade to major crusade should they have amass enough power to conquer and colonize thousand to tens of thousands of planets in the name of the Emperor, Guilliman and Imperium
