History
A millenium ago

The new republic stood in full bloom. The order of jedi stood strong and in order to extinct all sith influence from this galaxy sent their lightful warriors to cleanse the worlds from all evil and in fact there were dark corners in the days of oulds - jetblack holes of crime and corruption. As there art in any era of humanoid existence.

The main power but that the Jedi order strived to vanquish was one perilous order of sith whose veiled influence and vile manipulation had poisoned and corrupted many a world. The ancient order of the serpent sith. For centuries had they been true to their lightful code.. yet the urgent longing to put and end to this dark menace let them take it to the extreme..

Soon enough, due to the serpents well conceiled and in fact homeless ways, the difference between these true sith and those who would just follow another but not the jedi's ould lightful religion would no longer be regarded as so relevant.

Soon enough they would all be referred to as colonies of infidels.. possible snakepits and eventually, in an effort to extinct the sith where they were believed to have their origin the lightful warriors of the ould order came down upon Othala. Upon the house of Zarkan, one of the planets greatest clans situated around the valleys under the true mountains that for different reasons was believed to breed the perilous serpents...

Trying to make a stand against the jedi with nothing more than crystalen infused blades the Zarkan were soon outnumbered by the tenths and might in fact have been extinquished.. as their allied houses approached the battlefield. As an result an agreement was forged this day.

The surviving Zarkan, who were still believed to be the root of all evil [by the jedi that is], had to leave their devastated and torched [the Jedi once more - what would of course not appear in their records lateron] clanlands to be resettled around the unknown regions of Kilia 4. To keep them from spreading their 'darkness' over the galaxy they were not allowed starship technology. The records were stricken and these people were lost and forgotten for a thousand years.

The rest were dispersed throughout Othala where the Jedi established The Church of Cadaris to exterminate remaining and upcoming 'dark influences'. Yet although the Cadarian inquisition illuminated the lands with their just and truthful blade the so called dark orders never really died - they just went underground.. nevertheless.. judging from the surface Othala seemed purified and a few centuries later was pretty much forgotten.

A thousand sais passed

The New Empire arose (after the Clone Wars) and is spreading throughout the galaxy. Kilia 4 was discovered by an Imperial scouting party in the Unknown Regions. They were looking for remote systems to make modular sections for their Death Star in secret (We art working on an Imperial board also).

Anyway, Othala was denied new technology since the Jedi/Republic invasion a thousand years ago. We inhabit Othala in a medieval setting [but do have 6 space ports spread out and communication satellites, etc]. This turned out to be in our favor for we remained true to our ways and code of honor.

Now but <b>the Empire</b> wants to take over our worlds and ravage our mother earth (<i>Sheia</i>) for her ressources. Loving our world and unwilling to become pawns to the man they call the emperor we art about to reunite the two lost worlds and form alliances of many kinds for we now have a common enemy, The Empire.

As mentioned before our legend fills the Shadows of the Trilogy. We do not seek recognition or long to be hailed as heroes. Let the Rebels have all the credit for the Empires downfall. We want our obscurity and to live in our worlds isolated from the corruption of the galaxy so that our precious culture may be preserved for another thousand years - or possibly until deep into an unknown future.

This is pretty much our story line. There is more... but thou wilt learn it all in due time. For example our differing views upon the nature of the midichloreans, the possible existence of ESP and why thou shouldst never argue with a white knight of cadaris.
