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

Much of the historical knowledge surrounding the Tikiar Knights is derived from ancient texts and artifacts discovered throughout the worlds of Tresario. According to these ancient texts, the Tikiars trace their roots to a nomadic community of Force-sensitive individuals hailing from the enigmatic Sacred Isle of Joralla. This mystical island was characterized by lush tropical jungles and inhabited by an ancient avian species known as the Tikiari.

Curiously, the texts remain silent about the exact location of the Sacred Isle, leaving many Tresarian archaeologists to speculate that it might have been situated within an uncharted system nestled in the Mid Rim region.

The Tikiar Knights emerged during the era of the Old Galactic Republic and established contact with the Jedi Order, which, at the time, stood as the galaxy's largest and most influential Force-oriented organization. During this period, the Jedi Order's numbers were considerable, and they harbored no objections to the coexistence of other independent Force-using groups.

The Jedi Order Influence

During the era of the Old Galactic Republic, the Jedi Order was a formidable Force organization, boasting considerable numbers and influence across the galaxy. The ancient Jedi were open to allowing other Force traditions to exist independently as long as these traditions aligned with the Light Side of the Force. The fateful encounter between the Tikiars and the Jedi marked the beginning of an era of mutual learning and respect. The Tikiars, who had developed their own unique approach to harnessing the Force, found themselves deeply influenced by the Jedi's philosophy and their mastery of the Light Side. To the Jedi, the Tikiars were not seen as outsiders but rather as kindred spirits—a splinter group within the Jedi Order's grand tapestry.

In the spirit of collaboration, the Tikiars and Jedi often embarked on joint missions, sharing their unique insights into the Force. This partnership led to the development of new techniques and strategies that drew from both traditions. It was during this time that the Tikiars honed their skills in lightsaber combat, integrating their understanding of the Force with Jedi's established techniques.

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.
