HISTORICAL INFORMATION

The Aurion Order was founded on Ach-to by a collective of Force-sensitive individuals who, disillusioned by the recurring cycles of conflict between the light and dark sides of the Force, sought a new path to uphold the Light. They were drawn together by shared visions of a galaxy free from the shadow of the dark side, guided by the ancient teachings found within the secluded temples of Ach-to.

Embracing the symbol of the lightbow, which represents their commitment to being beacons of light in the darkness, the Order structured itself around principles that merge combat readiness with spiritual purity. Over the years, they have quietly intervened in key moments of galactic history, always from the shadows, striving to maintain the balance of the Force and combat the spread of darkness without seeking glory or recognition.
