Novikovas

The Novikova family is a powerful Osorrai family dynasty, active primarily in technology and defense. It is estimated to have a total net worth around 400 billion dollars. The family is thought to lead the Balakirev Triad and thus manage most of its holdings. The triad never holds assets directly but instead uses intermediaries such as the Novikovas to manage its holdings to mantain plausible deniability. The family is Osorra's only noble family of Kesh and native descent with very little Slavonic blood among its members. It is thought to have a policy where marriages are not permitted with peoples of Yarovar descent. A member of the family is currently in the Osorrai triumvirate. The patriarch of the family is Yazov Novikova but as he ages Klava Novikova and Aito Novikova are currently the two major contenders for his replacement.

The family owns the majority of Sosya, 51% of Kozlovfab, and 20% of mail.osa Group. It has a venture capital arm in the Novikova Venture Fund which funds many large Osorrai technology startups. The family is also though to have a significant interest in cryptocurrency with a large portion of its assets tied up in the sector. It owns much of the real estate around Kakhab through Novikova Estate Trust and perhaps 65% of Kakhab Municipal Corporation. The family is seen as the primary representative of the Kakhab elite and its most successful member. It has rapidly increased in wealth in the last two decades as technology valuations skyrocket. However it is still seen as "new money" by many in the Osorrai aristocracy since many of its members came from middle class defense backgrounds and not high ranking backgrounds in the Osorrai.
