Introduction
The Dukes are a clan of Zoners originating from both Planet Erie and Planet Gran Canaria. They come with as varied personalities there can be, given that most of them have been brought up amongst fellow Zoners, with their traditions and customs.
When the Planet Gran Canaria was discovered by Zoners, about half of the Dukes living on Planet Erie chose to resettle to the new Zoner homeworld, away from Liberty and it's influence, while the remaining Dukes chose to adapt to Liberty's reign over Pennsylvania and to work on improving the planets economy.
After being some 30 years apart, Reisiger Duke of the Erie branch of the family made his first trip to Gran Canaria, where he met his distant cousin and future wife Jarline Duke, thus uniting both family branches once more.

She graduated on Gran Canaria's top university at the astounding young age of 17 and joined Reisiger Duke's transport crew as science officer after meeting him on his visit to her branch of the Duke family.
A year later, the two married on Erie.
Since Reisiger's employ in OSI, Jarline was undertaking scientific explorations first with the Treecat - a Conference class gunboat -, and later on with the Treecat II - the successor of the first vessel which got crippled by the Tundra, a Nomad infested Liberty Siege Cruiser.
Lately, the Treecat II was undertaking extensive research trips into Liberty, in order to further the knowledge of the Dark Matter Clouds both in Kepler and Texas, especially in how the Texas Incident came to happen.
