The Spacepiress of Chaos
The Templar Order
"There is no Chaos, there is Order."
Q: What is the Templar Order? A: The Templar Order is a militaristic monastic order which is dedicated to returning the Galaxy to Order amid the continuing Chaos created in the wake of the ongoing Jedi-Sith conflict. They view themselves as the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' a title which the Jedi Order has in recent years failed to uphold.
Q: Is the Templar Order like all those other 'Crusader' Factions before them?
A: No. What stands us apart from those Factions and similar factions is our policy of No Force Sensitive individuals are permitted within the Order. There are multiple groups already that have been permeated throughout with their own Force Users. This is a group strictly for Non-Force Users.
Q: Why would I want to join the Templar Order when Force Users are so cool and make up the primary reason that many people roleplay in a Star Wars setting?
A: Why wouldn't you? Yes the biggest draw of Star Wars is the Force Users, the Jedi and the Sith and all those little splinter factions in between. Yet where does that leave everyone else in the grand scale? You've those whom aren't Force Users often relegated to the background as their work in a conflict is over shadowed by the 'nearly infinite cosmic power' beings.
The Templar Order seeks to change this by providing those whom are either tired of playing the Force User, or whom want something new, can come and enjoy themselves. Likewise the Templar Order is a faction that is meant to prove that you can have just as much fun liberating a galaxy without the Force.
Q: If I join, what is there for the kind of person whom doesn't want to be a soldier or always in combat.
A: That depends on the person. While there is the main branch of the Templar Order, the Order itself, which is about making a mark on the map and carving out a sphere of influence; and there are the Seekers, those whom actively hunt down and fight Force Users within the Order and its holdings, this is not all that there is to the Order.
We have additional branches as well. For instance, perhaps you want to hunt down and discover ancient artifacts that are dangerous and belong in a vault. We've the Keepers just for that. Or maybe you're a Factory junkie that wants the entire board to see your skill. Join the Armorers and outfit the Order with your ideas. Or perhaps you just want to be a Florence Nightingale and help those displaced by the conflict between the Jedi and the Sith; then the Hospitallers are perfect for you.
Likewise we're always looking for new ideas, and would love to hear yours if you've one for a new branch or something to add to the Order. There's even the Pantheon belief system that can always be added to and looked towards for further development.
Q: Well, what about those that join the Order but don't want to be part of those factions or internal organizations?
A: We still welcome you, as there are a myriad of stories that are just waiting to be written. Perhaps you're a Force Sensitive that doesn't like the fact that you are and so you seek out the Order to find a means to strip you of that curse. Or you could be a Pro Force Sensitive whom is seeking to infiltrate the order to try and hinder it (be reasonable though with this though).
There are even those lost souls whom are displaced by the Jedi's inaction and the Sith's conquest that could just be relocating themselves, their family, or their business into Templar held territory as a means to escape the Jedi and Sith. If you think it, we can probably come up with a compelling story to develop and play out.
Q: Where can I learn more?
A: Our Faction Write up is constantly being updated and maintained and provides you with the largest amount of information on the Order. (Templar Order)
Q: I like what I'm seeing and I'm compelled to join, how do I do that?
A: Simple. Visit our Faction page and Join Today!
Q: What if I have further questions that haven't been answered above?
A: Then ask them in a post below or in the Templar Order write up thread as linked above. You'll question will be answered as quickly as possible, and to your satisfaction to the best of our ability to do so.
