Templin Guild

The Templin Guild (Templanni Galda in Old Galactic Standard) was an order of archivists that, in the Galactic Republic's early centuries, worked within the Jedi Temple on Coruscant as civilian record-keepers. The Templins eventually moved to Alderaan, where they established a university that would go on to outlive the Republic itself. A small group of Templins joined other colonists in their journey to the Oort system, where they integrated into local society and formed a group of religious warrior-monks that came to be known as Templars, though these warriors were no more than a network of priests by the time that Oort's society rejoined the galactic community. Shortly before the Clone Wars, some Templins from Alderaan voyaged to the Outer Rim to help educate populations under the control of criminal empires or otherwise unstable (and in some cases, the lack of) governments., who typically lacked organized local education systems.
