Dulruna

*"From here we will be reborn and begin anew not as soldiers but as pilgrims or teachers for it is better to be any of those instead of a soldier in another war, it is time that the galaxy is set free from corruption and tyranny we shall protect the peace."* - Grandmaster Maxir Rendas on the new Knights

Dulruna was a planet that resided within the Orion Expanse between the Mid Ring and Outer Ring and along the Galatic Trade Spine which served as the largest trading route across the galaxy connecting all regions together, this planet would also be the site of the New Temple for the Knights of Procyon after the Galactic War where it served as a pilgrimage and safe haven for anyone to seek refuge in. Dulruna's landscape consisted of various forests and green plains alongside their large canyons which other settlers used as mining sites using the large rocks to help construct buildings within the town of Duxron serving as the planet's capital and only town, the planet was also picked to be the new home for the Knights due to its strong connection to the Astral of the galaxy specifically providing both Knights and the world's settlers with a sense of peace and tranquillity.

## Description

The world of Dulruna is vast in its greenery from its forests to its plains alongside their large canyons with it almost resembling the Knights' old home of Sudaetti before it became a citywide planet, the landscape of Dulruna was very much connected to the Astral powers of the galaxy from which anyone who was able to harness those powers such as the Knights were able to sense the moment they set foot on the world. During and before the Galactic War the planet was simply used as a hideout and small base for the group known as Brenko's Militia who were a criminal group that served in the Shadow Guild with their leader Kham Brenko serving on the Guild's leading council until in later years when the Galactic War was occurring Kham would organise his group into a militia and helped the Consortium as freedom fighters, after the destruction of the Empire of Sudaetti the Astral user Maxir Rendas would begin to reconstruct the New Temple for the new Order of Knights from which he would teach becoming the new Grandmaster. It would be during the Galactic War that Rendas would hideout with Kham and the freedom fighters on the planet after hitting an Imperial convoy leading him to meditate and practice his combat forms getting in tune with the planet's Astral connection, it would be from this moment that Maxir would decide that after the war he would build the new Order on this world.

## History

Before the Galactic War the world of Dulruna would simply be used as a hideout and base for Brenko's Militia who were a group of criminals that worked under the Shadow Guild as mercenaries and pirates, during this time the leader Kham Brenko would serve on the Guild's council alongside Grego Shif waging war against the other big three largest criminal syndicates out of the Outer Ring. Although the planet was on the Galactic Trade Spine it was simply a world that was left alone which made it the perfect hideout for Kham and his crew of bandits at the time giving them ample opportunity to rob merchants and convoys that used the trading route.

By the time of the Galactic War the world of Dulruna became a continuous hideout for Brenko's Militia who had now decided to break away from the Shadow Guild and become freedom fighters helping the Strasian Consortium fight and rebel against the Empire of Sudaetti becoming a part of their army, during the war Kham Brenko would fight alongside Maxir Rendas many times so much so that Kham would allow Maxir to visit his hideout of Dulruna. Whilst he was on the world Maxir became aware of Dulruna's strong connection to the Astral power of the galaxy being very attuned to it which allowed him to train and meditate on the planet realising that it would be the perfect place for the Knights of Procyon to be rebuilt from their former time, at some point after the war the construction of the New Temple would begin alongside the training of the new Order of Knights under Maxir's tutelage and ideologies by turning the New Temple into a public place for anyone to venture into and learn or be at peace. With this Maxir now being the Grandmaster of the Order would ensure that the Knights were now specifically trained to be peacekeepers having no military discipline or command in the Consortium's government, this new Order allowed the Knights to grow and flourish become once again a large Order establishing a presence across the Mid Ring and Outer Ring as a religious group.
