## **LORE**

At the start of the cold war, The Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order formed an organization known as the Knights of the Republic and to be headed by a Jedi Council known as the Knights Council. It consisted of the Republic and the Jedi's very best. A Corellian businesswoman named Kalique Abraxas offered her services to aid the new organization. She was the CEO of the Corellian Engineering Corporation, which had hired her private mini militia Mandalorians. The Republic agreed to the aid from Kalique Abraxas despite the Jedi Order being wary of her.

The Knights of the Republic consisted of the Knights Order, an order of Jedi, the Knights Militia consisting of the very best Republic military soldiers and guards, The Knights Shadow Squad which was made up of several former Havoc Squad members and members of Kalique Abraxas's private militia. The Republic gave Kalique Abraxas and the Knights a flagship, a Valor class cruiser named The Eradicator. Kalique brought her own fleet made from her company giving the Knights of the Republic their own fleet known as the Fleet of the Knights.

The separate divisions of the Knights had their own set ranks as well, making it a fully structured organization. Under the leadership of Kalique Abraxas, the organization took on its own power to become a full-fledged power government of the galaxy that would share the ideals and views, and goals of the Republic.

What very few in the Knights of the Republic knew was that Kalique Abraxas was who she claimed to be, She was upon the orders to aid the Knights by her true master. The evil Sith Emperor of The Resurgent Sith Empire Darth Vyrassu. Kalique Abraxas in reality was Darth Pellax, a Dark Council member of the Resurgent Sith Empire. Darth Pellax was under orders to take the lead on this new republic organization to infiltrate the republic, destabilize it and take over the republic and tear it apart from the inside. Darth Pellax was doing her duty all to well even to the point of running for Corellia Senator beginning her steps towards the political scene of the Galactic Republic. Kalique Abraxas's private Militia was made up of numerous Sith Imperial Military soldiers, pilots, Dark honor Guards, and Jen'ari Order sith. While there were some ACTUAL Jedi upon the Knights Council such as Master of the Order Acacius Aries.

## The Fall of the Knights and Re-Birth

Kalique was killed under mysterious circumstances (Killed by Darth Vyrassu), and the Sith followers left the Knights of the Republic fearing the thought of being discovered. Acacius Aries went to the Jedi Council and proposed an idea to let masters use the darkside Darksideugh to be stronger and not let it control them, but the Council denied this, Acacius did it anyways and was exiled from the Jedi Order. The republic then came to him and granted him the title of Republic Protector, and All of Acacius's followers left the Jedi Order and Joined him. Acacius then would form the Knights of the Republic once more under the designation of Republic Defenders, an organization led by a Jedi Order with a Military. The Chancellor approved the Knights to become an organization much to the disagreement of the Jedi Order.

The Knights of the Republic would go on to grow its Jedi and Military personal while aiding the Republic within the conflicts of Revan and the Eternal Empire.

## Ideals & Philosophy

There is Emotion, There is Peace
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is Passion, With Serenity,
No Chaos, but Harmony
Death, and the Force
The force is my Ally.
**The Code of The Knights of the Republic.**

The Knights of the Republic viewed the force to be balanced with a healthy proportion of light and dark, and it was to be used as both. The Darkside was free to be used as long as you didn't let it consume, control or corrupt you. Labeled as Grey Jedi, but more of the lines of the Jed'aii. The Knights Order (Jedi order of the Knights of the Republic) was more into unbound uses of the force that way to face their enemies with a stronger knowledge of the force and be more victorious in defending the Republic.
