"The fiercest contest lies ahead.
This is irrefutable."
Welcome to New Holstice
The Commonwealth[x] is the current governing body of New Holstice, forged in the ruins of their world in the aftermath of the Primevals sacking. New Holstice was abandoned by the Galactic Republic shortly thereafter, resulting in the ultimate collapse of the planetary government. Entire population centers and cities were reduced to ash, the Primeval leaving behind a plasma-scorched planet whose surface had turned to vitrified glass.
In the wake of this assault, neurosurgeon Malcolm Manx[x] collected a think-tank of intellectuals to restore order, accumulating into the creation of The Commonwealth, with Manx elected as President. With surviving refugees flocking to the southern hemisphere, a city was constructed from the ashes of the old. With the Jedi Monument serving as the city center, Capital City[x] was born.
"Power from the Ash."
New Holstice has transformed from the gleaming diamond it once was. Squalor fills the concrete jungle of Capital City. Cloudcutters dominate the skies, the sound of construction pollutes the streets far below. Out in the urban sprawl the criminal underworld clings to the slums and ghettos. Capital City is a world of refugees from all corners of the planet, and other systems far and wide.
Species and citizens of all nations have converged on New Holstice, some have sought shelter after the destruction of their city in other parts of their homeworld, while others are off-world migrants who have come to seek work. Capital City is a bustling metropolis with the dominant species belonging to Humans and Duros, with a notable population of Fosh and Kaminoans.
"As part of the Order of the Moth, Horus guided many refugees
to safety behind the defenses of Capital City."
The Order of the Moth is a pseudo-military organization commissioned by The Commonwealth. Acting as intelligence operatives to elite soldiers and commanders, The Order of the Moth is a Force Sensitive order without the archaic codes and rules of the Jedi. Where-as the Jedi see the lightsaber as an extension of themselves, the Disciples of the Moth see a blaster as their extension.
The Order of the Moth are subject to the laws of the Commonwealth, but are not wholly religious like the Jedi or Sith, using the Force for practical purposes rather than spiritual. Students of the Moth are called Disciples, much like those of the Jedi Order are called Jedi. The Order is separated into chapters, each chapter focus on different tasks from frontline exploration to diplomacy, infiltration or warfare.
"They will know you fight not for yourself,
but for the people's will."
The Commonwealth Defense Force is a united volunteer force. Divisions are separated by species and tactics. Much of the military is comprised of former mercenaries from other systems, with Duros being the primary contributors to the Defense Force. Others consist of teachers, doctors and laborers who spend their free time in the Defense Force. Only a few work full-time in the Force, serving as commanders.
The Order of the Moth work closely with the Defense Force to provide security and order to Capital City, with regular patrols in the slums so as to squash criminal activities. Each division is unique, with species providing designs and conceptual pieces for armstech, allowing Holstice Technologies[x] to create a truly diversified military force that can be deployed in a range of environments.
