Letum Ortus: Vol. I
I have seen truth in the Force, the Whills, the Fabric of Life. Every few million years, the will of the Force ordains the rebirth of existence. From the hearts of the people spring truth, but from their hands grow machines of war, synthetic replications to instill desire, or laziness. When these machines outnumber their organic creators millions to one, a great imbalance wracks the souls of the living. Just over a thousand years ago, during the year in which the Battle of Yavin took place, the cycle was set to repeat itself, the galaxy was to be plunged into the stone age again, into purity. All non-Force sensitives were to be destroyed. We missed our opportunity, by averting our gaze to self proclaimed gods. Balance was not served.
Letum Ortus: Vol. II
The stars, from whence the Force itself is exuded, paint a picture in my head. The galaxy yearns for order, for purity. Technology, freedom of vice and sin, all must be destroyed. I know that many will perish, those who stand in the way, and those caught in the crossfire. Death is a necessity, for only after death, can we be reborn.
Letum Ortus: Vol. III
The Force has been viewed in numerous aspects throughout the ages. To confine the Force to one point of view is a fallacy. The Force simply is. Everything begins, and ends with the Force. Every aspect of our lives, from our thoughts and interactions to a flake of skin or a galaxy yet again at war, is infused with the Force. By simply conceiving something like the Darkside our the Potentium, we in fact create those entities.
Letum Ortus: Vol. IV
Despite the popular belief, emotional expression is one of the most logical actions we can perform. It is simply a means to relay our intentions and thoughts through free form language, the language of the soul. The soul of a being is created by the Force itself, and allows us to live on after our bodies parish. Therefor, by expressing our love, our hate, and everything we perceive and conceive, and controlling that expression, we can exist to serve the order of nature founded on the logic the Force imbued our souls with.
Origin:
Years ago, Isaac wandered the galaxy, searching for knowledge of the Force. He grew in his abilities and his understanding, to a point of mastery. On a pilgrimage of sorts, he journeyed to the planet of Rusaan, and had a vision. The Force showed him many things, which he recorded in the Letum Ortus. It serves as a chronicle for the rebirth of the galaxy. He has since obtained enough resources for the defense and sustenance of an organization named after the very book he wrote.
Purpose:
The Letum Ortus is an organization designed to prepare the righteous and worthy for the rebirth of life as it is known. All sin and vice will be cast aside, as will technology. The people will be free of self imposed bondage, and free of those who are blind to the Force.
Methodology:
Through the use of 'scare tactics' (which many would mistake for terrorism) The Letum Ortus quells the overuse of technology from the galaxy. Striking shipyards, factories, and even Ecumenopoli as a whole, they instill the fear of the Force in those worthy of rebirth, and make an example of the impending doom that awaits all non-Force sensitives.
Resources:
The Location of the Letum Ortus rests on a Mediator class Mon Calamari Battlecruiser, known as The Sacrifice, and while technology is obviously not outlawed, the organization only retains enough firepower to defend itself. Isaac, the founding Host of the order, has amassed a wealth of over five billion credits during his forty-five year sojourn. Those credits are used to provide fuel and food to it's members.
Rebirth:
Isaac claims* to have found a new method of the thought bomb, one that is pure and only kills non-Force sensitives. He will innnitiate this thought bomb when he believes he has enough followers, and the galaxy is ready.
Caste:
Shaped almost like the One Sith of old, the Letum Ortus has few distinctions between members. There are three positions within the order.
Solus: akin to a padawan of the Jedi order, the Solus has yet to complete training and become an independent Force user. Most classes are held in a group setting, but a Solus may ask to be taught a specific technique in a singular training setting.
Novus: unlike other orders, in which knighthood is simply another step, a Novus is an individual, capable of teaching Solus and enacting the will of the Letum Ortus through missions. They can be fresh out of training, or experienced masters of the Force. Upon earning the title Novus, one can begin studying self chosen aspects and views of the Force independently, as well as a specialization.
Host: Much like a council, the four hosts discuss the direction of the order, it's members, and enact the will of the High Host. These are picked by their predecessors before resignation.
*Any claims made by the Faction Leader IC may or may not be true. In fact, they probably are not true. 86% chance or so.
