These are mere nouveau riche fripperies, this is about lineage.

You seem like an expert on this so I’ll defer to your insight, but do space serpents bind themselves to tradition, or do they value power and political prowess?
No, no, no. These are mere nouveau riche fripperies, this is about lineage. Besides, she's allegedly female (although gender may be different on her native planet). I will have to get my team of genealogists to check her relationship to Ferdinand the Utterly Barking of Schitwiperburg (983 to 1001), without that very basic qualification she is a nobody.
