- Organization Name: The Ring of Ridae.
- Classification: Religious Cult.
- Affiliation: Unaffiliated.
- Organization Symbol:
- Description: This cult believed in a God known as Ridae who will come to them, judge the heretics (A. K. A. non-believers) and sentients who believed in him will ascend to an another plane of existence.
- Headquarters: Coruscant
- Domain: They used to control a part of Level 423 of Coruscant. They were rather isolated from other parts of the level. A major part of the sentients who lived in the level heavily distrusted them.
- Notable Assets: The only known location that they owned was their cathedral that was based on an abandoned warehouse. The cathedral was also their HQ. The cathedral contained the ritual room and living rooms.
- Hierarchy: The lowest rank of the cult is the Obedient rank. Obedients should attend the cult's rituals and contribute to them. The next rank is the Ritual guide rank. They hosted the rituals that cult members should attend. They were also a part of the council that controlled the cult. The leader rank is the High Priest. High Priest rank is granted for term of life. There was only one High Priest during the cult's history. The High Priest led the council and all decisions made in the council should be approved by him.
- Membership: When the cult was still running, there was approx. 150 members in it. To join the cult you should complete the trial. In this trial, you will be isolated in a room for a week that only contained necessary supplies and the cult's holy book, the Codex of Ridae. The one who is completing the trial should study the Codex. When one completes the trial, they can consider themselves a member of the cult. But, because the cult was disbanded, no one can join it now.
- Climate: The cult's members treated each other like brothers. The cult believed in the collectivist order of society. The member of a cult will help other members and will protect them.
- Reputation: Many people on the outside distrusted the cult. Mainly, this was because the cult was involved in some kidnappings and violent crimes. Local law enforcement groups made several PSAs about the cult where they antagonized the Ring.
- Curios: Every cult member should have the Amulet of Ridae, the amulet that should protect the wearer of the amulet from forces that oppose Ridae, and the Codex of Ridae, the cult's holy book. When members of the cult went outside, they were trying to hide the Amulet and the Codex, because they were afraid that they may face discrimination.
- Rules: The rules of the cult were in the Codex of Ridae. Their main rules were to treat each member like a brother and help Ridae to descend to the mortal plane of existence. The Codex also contained their philosophical beliefs, the myth about the creation of the universe (which they called The Great Realm) and some other myths. One of the myths was about the planet Ivatch, this planet was considered sacred by the Ring.
- Goals: The main goal of the Ring was to ascend to an another plane of existence when the apocalyptic event happens. The leadership wanted for many other sentients to join the cult, but the main goal of the leadership was to control many other sentients.
Entirr Mokuze - Obedient who was about to become the Ritual guide.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Ring of Ridae was founded by a former human male padawan known as Les Trergat. Les was born on Gandle Ott. Tregrat disagreed with many ideas of the Jedi Order, and because of the disagreements, he left the Order. Les found his way to the warehouse that will be the cathedral of the Ring. Then, Les decided that he will create his own cult that will be based on his beliefs, Ring of Ridae. Tregrat decided to announce the creation of the cult on dubious ends of Holonet. One of the sentients who would read the announcement was Whidam Mokuze, Entirr Mokuze's father. Whidam was the priest of Tree of Tarintha who started leaning towards the Dark Side of the Force. To show that he is worthy of joining the cult, the Ithorian murdered an another priest. After that, Whidam and his children were exiled from the Tree. Eventually, Whidam found his way to Coruscant where he moved to the cult's HQ and successfully joined the cult. During the cult's history, the cult was involved in many kidnappings and violent crimes. Then, the CSF decided to stop the cult once and for all and they raided the Ring's cathedral. Many died, but some survived. The only survivor with the known fate was Entirr Mokuze, he escaped to Ivatch. Other survivors' fates are unknown. After the raid, the Ring ceased to exist and the cathedral became a normal warehouse again and the warehouse was given to a small business. After that, the cult was pretty much forgotten, but Entirr decided to investigate the world of Ivatch, so the cult may return, but who knows...
