The Order of the Tikiar Knights, also known as the Tikiar Order, or simply the Tikiars, represents a military society of knights operating within the Tresario Star Kingdom. Their core ethos revolves around the practice of the Force as a means to uphold peace and justice in Tresario. They harness the power of the Force as a potent ally, leveraging its abilities to advance their objectives. The Tikiar Knights pledge unwavering allegiance to the King of Tresario and are deeply committed to preserving both the equilibrium of the Force and the harmony of the Kingdom.

History

Origins

Most of the historical facts of the Tikiars were found in ancient texts or artifacts within the worlds of Tresario. According to the ancient text of the Tikiars, they were a nomadic group of Force-sensitives originating from the Sacred Isle of Joralla. The Sacred Isle of Joralla was dominated by tropical jungles and was home to the ancient bird known as the Tikiari. The text, however, never stated the location of the Sacred Isle, though many Tresarian archaeologists believed the Sacred Isle of Joralla was located somewhere on the planet of an uncharted system in the Mid Rim region.

They existed around the era of the Old Galactic Republic and made contact with the largest Galactic Government's Force organization, the Jedi Order. During this time, the Jedi Order was large in number, they felt secure enough to allow other Force-using organizations to exist independently.

Council

Before the Tikiar Order made first contact with the Galactic Republic, they may have been nothing more than an "inner circle" within the assembly. Being a nomadic group, the Tikiars had no fixed organizational headquarters. After the Jedi Order arrival, their tradition slowly became more influenced by the latter. An ancient temple found in Planet Garn had explained that they were no longer a nomadic group.

In the Tresarian modern history, the Order of the Tikiar Knights formed a governing body called the Tikiar Council. The Council was made up of seven wise and powerful Tikiar Masters who discussed and contemplated all aspects of the Order as well as served as an advisory body for the Office of Minister of State. Led by the Grandmaster of the Order, their membership is usually restricted to Tikiar Masters.

Philosophy

"Guardians of the Light,
Servants of the Dark,
In Balance we pledge,
For Freedom we rise,
Together as One,
Immortal in the force."
