The social order of the Centauri Republic has a long cultural tradition of hereditary privilege in the form of Noble Houses; powerful extended families that control land, property and often most importantly, information. The most powerful of these make-up the Centaurum.

House Jaddo
House Jaddo was a respected Centauri house and a long time ally of House Mollari. By 2259, the house had begun to make many enemies in political circles particularly that of Lord Refa and his supporters, due to its apparently anti-expansionist standpoint. Soon Refa arranged for a resolution to be brought before the Centaurum declaring it to be traitorous. Its leader Urza Jaddo was forced to seek help from House Mollari but unfortunately it was allied with Refa. Urza challenged Londo Mollari to the Murago in order to save the honor of the house. Sacrificing himself Urza made it possible for House Jaddo to come under the protection of House Mollari. [5]
