Holy Tenets of the Empire

Preface
The religion that is practiced by the members of the Empire is known as the "Jen'Qo" or "Dark Path". This religion is centered around the Jen'Tevas and his "Inner Creations" who hold hidden intentions to better the galaxy through the spread of their ways and the acquiring of infinite knowledge. Below are the beliefs and tenets of the Jen'Qo and how it affects the Empire in general.
Religious Hierarchy
1. Jen'Tevas​
2. Inner Creations​
3. Jen'Kommunal​
4. Overseer​
5. Virmasi​
Above is the ranking structure of the religion. While all ranks of the Order are technically religious, these are the ones that truly make one part of the Jen'Qo. Those that are in these ranks are much more dedicated to the path than others.​
Creation
As is true for all creations, there is the light and the dark. In the primordial days of the Galaxy, there existed two of the first entities. These entities were the first forms of intelligent life that existed in the primordial Galaxy. To exist in these chaotic and destructive times, these organisms adapted and ascended to a level of existence that is above ours in order to survive in the uninhabitable locations of the galaxy. These first two life forms fought constantly, each evolving and growing with differing ideas of how to shape and raise the Galaxy. These two forms eventually outgrew their physical forms, soon transcending to the spiritual plane that force users go to after they make peace with themselves. These forms watched as life began to spread among the Galaxy, and so decided that it was time for them to enact their plans of shaping the galaxy. The two primordial beings chose hosts to embody their will and powers. These hosts would work for their respective beings and their goals, shaping and forming the fledgling Galaxy and the civilizations that were forming within it. As the physical bodies of these hosts passed on, the two beings took more reincarnations. The beings eventually became myths and legends, fading from memory and choosing hosts that seemed to be used to simply gather power. The two beings, the nameless beings that had shaped civilization since time immemorial, had now found new hosts that were suitable to further their goals. The darker, more passionate being was then named the “Dark Father” or “Jen’Tevas” by its followers. This host was revered as a God and elevated to the status of Emperor. The followers were bestowed with the powers of the being, with separate powers going to separate beings. One would embody hate, the other destruction. One would embody terror, and the other temptation. One would embody anguish. These beings would aid the host in furthering his will, and were then considered the children of the Jen’Tevas.​
The Quest of the Enlightened
The "Quest of the Enlightened" is a term used to describe the path the members of the religion have dedicated themselves to upon joining. To put it simply, the quest is one of study and becoming one with the Jen'Tevas. One completes their quest upon ascension (death) and is recognized for the deeds that have been done in the name of the Jen'Qo to better the pursuit of knowledge or aid those who have forsaken the Dark Father. Those that begin the quest are always welcome to end it and leave, but must remember that upon exiting they are never allowed to return to the Jen'Qo. They will be welcomed back into the Empire if they so choose, but the state will not truly accept their presence. Those that commit themselves to the Quest must understand that this means that they will have to aid in creating, spreading, and teaching the ways of the Jen'Tevas and the Empire. Those that leave will be restricted to forever learning, never again knowing the true secrets of the religion.​
Words of the Jen'Tevas
1. One shall not strike another who has not shown the intention to cause harm.
2. One shall not steal the items of another.
3. One shall not disrespect those of other faiths (Jedi, Sith, etc.)
4. One must push themselves to their limit to spread the ways of the Jen'Qo
5. One may not speak on behalf of the Jen'Tevas on fear of death.
6. One must dedicate themselves to the faith should they so decide to join it.
7. One must embrace the Jen'Tevas as their Emperor and God.
8. None may impersonate the Jen'Tevas on fear of death.
9. The word of the Jen'Tevas is law.
10. Any who commit treason or act against the words above have committed sin and will be eliminated accordingly.
[To clarify: For number 8, it's really only Korogum or the rest of the Inner Creations who can decide who the next Jen'Tevas is to reduce "pretenders". Also, for 10, that only applies to those who willingly accept the faith.]​
 
Preface
The Empire of the Jen'Tevas is a state declared to house the members of the Jen'Qo. As is true for any Empire, this one requires laws, politics, and a stable economy. Due to this, a ranking structure is required as well, all of which will be explained below. The Imperial aspect of the Jen'Qo is slightly separated in the sense that Empire is used to keep the members of the Jen'Qo safe from outside persecution.
Imperial Hierarchy
Jen'Tevas​
Inner Creations​
Jen'Kommunal​
Lords of the Empire​
Overseers​
Virmasi​
Acolyte​
Hopeful​
Non-Force Using Hierarchy
Jen'Tevas​
Inner Creations​
General​
Commander​
Captain​
Lieutenant​
Sergeant​
Private​
Politics of the Empire
Politics in the Empire of the Jen'Tevas are heavily dominated by the religious sector. The Jen'Kommunal is in charge of maintaining the well-being of the Empire by working in conjunction with the military and the Jen'Tevas. Each member of the Kommunal will oversee a certain sector, and these sectors will contain different opportunities for those who wish to experience different paths within the Empire. (to be completed, still working on this one)​
