!Del Monte One of [The Twelve] Families of the Solar Republic. The Del Monte’s are one of the four Tier One families in the [Solar Republic]. This family dominated the political scene between 2967 and 3010 and again between 3076 and 3087 but corporate infighting with the Smythe family undermined much of their influence. They have recently rebuilt a powerful corporate investment portfolio and are seeking to regain greater political power. There have been four Del Monte First Citizens (only the [VanCleef]s can claim the same). The Del Montes despise the [VanCleef] and the Smythe families for overseeing what they view as the decline of Earth's hegemony. The [Smythes] remain arch political rivals. Unfortunately for the The Del Montes their political leadership is dominated by Philip Del Monte, a well known playboy constantly appearing in controversial press stories. The Del Monte family occupies some very powerful military and corporate positions. Their greatest weakness is in intelligence organisations and the press. The family tends to favour heavy investment programmes linked to their corporate holdings, but also to future-proof further military growth in support of what others would consider their outdated hegemonic ambitions for the Earth Empire.
