The Spacepiress of Chaos
849 ABY
..:: The Omega War ::..
The Core Worlds are free. Following a precision strike against the center of the Galaxy; the Galatic Alliance wrest control of Coruscant from the hands of the One Sith. This monumental event marks the death knell of the One Sith Empire as it splinters into bickering factions and falls to in fighting, ultimately collapsing.
From the Outer Rim Territories a mighty force reemerges, the Mandalorians led by a new Mandalore who has united the Clans strikes. They achieve that which the One Sith have attempted and failed to do for many years; the destruction of the Galactic Republic. It is a time of unknowns as the two great powers are humbled.
It is a time of uncertainty for many as the Core Worlds are left to their own devices. Pockets of Sith and remnants of the Republic alike hold onto what few worlds they can still lay claim. Others see this power vacuum as their chance to carve out their own fiefs and its only a matter of time before Warlords begin to claim territory through force.
..:: The Order of the Righteous Flame ::..
Not all is lost...
For while the Galaxy begins to fall to darkness, there is a light still burning brightly in the Core Worlds.
They call themselves the Order of the Righteous Flame. A monastic order akin to the Jedi Order of old, and their banners begin to rise. Hailing from the far flung world of Feenix, they are the successors of the older and disbanded Knights of Kal'Shebbol.
Their eyes fall towards the Core Worlds, left empty and in the hands of chaos and warlords. Determined to make a difference, they set their sights upon Tython, the ancient homeworld of the Jedaii Order. Led by an individual known only as The Grand Hierophant, they have begun to amass their numbers.
..:: Guardians of the Galaxy ::..
For countless generations the Jedi stood as the Guardians of the Galaxy before the many schisms that tore the Order into multiple sects in their own right. In this division the Sith of the destroyed Sith Empire were able to regroup, and bide their time until they ultimately struck at Coruscant and forged the One Sith Empire.
The Jedi failed the Galaxy...
Thus the Order of the Righteous Flame arose from the ashes. Those who had no connection to the Force or those that had been used and tossed aside by the Jedi and Sith; stripped of their connection understood the only truth.
The Jedi and the Sith are merely two faces upon the same coin...
Viewing the Jedi Order as having failed in their duty to the Galaxy, the Order of the Righteous Flame seeks to reunify the fractured Order and set them upon their rightful path; lest they need to destroy the Jedi and rebuild the Order from scratch. Their enemies, the Sith, must also be hunted down and destroyed; though above all else they hold their own code.
"We are sworn to Protect the Galaxy from the Dangers of the Force..."
"Watch for Weakness and Corruption..."
"Act without hesitation for the good of all..."
"Seek out Dangerous Force Users that prove a threat to the Galaxy so that they may be destroyed..."
"Pursue those that escape..."
..:: Technology vs The Force ::..
Members of the Order of the Righteous Flame lack the capability to utilize the force; or they are those whose own connection had been stripped from them by members of the Sith or Jedi Orders. Thus the Order of the Righteous Flame must seek out alternatives...
Their answer...
Fight the Force with Technology.
The Order of the Righteous Flame dedicates a large section of members, the Armigers to the development of technologies, vessels, weapons, armors and all manner of devices that aid the Knights in the field. They are the arm of the Order that acts as its Research and Development sector; though the Order is not only focused on weapon technologies.
They seek out ancient lore and knowledge, their Enlightened seeking out such dangerous artifacts and knowledge to be hidden from the Galaxy. They chronicle and store the relics, while also experimenting and studying them to discover their secrets. The hope being that they can harness the abilities of these relics for the good of all.
Though it is the Hospitallers among them that reach out to the people of the Galaxy. Their sole duty being that of offering aid and healing to those injured or sick. They seek to mend bridges and reverse the destruction beset upon the people by Force Users.
It is thus the Seekers that are the arm of the Order; a clenched fist to strike out when needed. They hunt down and destroy those Force Users deemed too dangerous to be permitted to live or even hold in Carbonite.
