LUKA SENE
Site Lore

The Luka Sene are the native Force-using tradition of the Miraluka people.

The development of a tradition of training in the Force among a civilization of people entirely attuned to the Force seems like a natural development but for the Miraluka the creation of the Luka Sene as a distinct organization took centuries. Like today, most Miraluka in the past did not develop their natural Force-sensitivity beyond their powers of Force Sight and those that did display other Force powers (especially those unrelated to sense or sight) either self-trained or completely ignored their powers that set them apart from their fellows. Instead the Luka Sene arose from the two very practical needs of the ancient Miraluka: to train those whose strength in the Force was beyond what the community could deal with and to study the Force for the betterment of Miraluka society. In a society where everyone is Force-sensitive, the Force is not an esoteric concept and when combined with the Miraluka's natural pragmatism, an academic approach to the Force developed. In this way a Force-using tradition stripped of mysticism was born. Likewise, the peaceful, insular and agrarian Miraluka had no need for warriors so the Luka Sene did not cultivate a distinct martial tradition.

The modern Luka Sene are like a University for Force-users with graduates and members being found in every aspect and rank of society. Instead of a cloistered and monastic tradition like the Jedi, the Luka Sene learn in a classroom environment in schools and academies in their local communities. Also unlike the Jedi, the Luka Sene have no distinct dogma of their own, with their code of conduct being a simple, if terse, social contract that is a reflection of Miraluka societal norms rather than any special path or way of being. In this way the Luka Sene are considered Light-Sided for their communitarian and academic ideals. To tackle the Dark Side and its corruption (which the Miraluka treat as no different than any other social problem) the Luka Sene rely on a group of individuals known as Sene Seekers to work with security forces, the judiciary and social services to combat the problem of the Dark Side in wider society.

The Luka Sene as an organization are not found beyond the Miraluka homeworld of Alpheridies or their very few colony worlds but some members and graduates have journeyed off-world individually as they are sometimes called to look in on those Miraluka living off-world who are seeking training for themselves or their talented child. Historically it was popular for young Miraluka who were powerful in the Force to join the Jedi Order in the days of the Old Republic but this has not been true for centuries, instead many are content to learn with the Luka Sene in keeping with the Miraluka's increasingly insular attitude since the Fall of the Old Republic.

Intent:
To bring the Luka Sene and their unique way of approaching the Force in an entirely Force-Sensitive society to the Force Eternal timeline.
