Tutelas Paladins

Tutelas Paladins are the men and women of the Tutelas Order who have completed their basic training and eventualy earned the title of Paladin through their service through their Order. Unlike the Knights, the Paladins are trained more in Long Range Combat then they are in Close Range. They wield a variety of Blasters, most which are Tutelas crafted, or even the rare Projectile Weapons. From Pistols, to Shotguns to even Heavy Assault Rifles. They sport different types of armor depending on their preference. Small Armor for the ones who seek cover from a distance and Infiltration. Medium and Heavy for the ones who wish to assault there enemies head on. However, when engaged in close combat, they are trained in hand to hand combat when needed and are seen carrying Vibroblades at times. They may seem like Soldiers, but they are not much for military style and are just mere Holy Fighters who prefer Long Range then Close Range. They are all recognised with the same full covering helmets they wear over their heads when on duty or on the battle. While there helmets may seem almost intimidating, the only ones who were to fear their appearance was enemies of the Republic. While rare, some Paladins have been rumored to know how to take down enemy force wielders such as Jedi and Sith. When the Tutelas were exiled, those who didn't follow their brethen chose to join the Republic Army and work along side the enemy Jedi or worse, became a gun for hire. Their armour and helmet designs slightly altered over their centuries of solitude, becoming better and more protective with the advancing technology.

By the time of the Galactic Civil War, the Tutelas decided it was time to act and most of the Paladins went to join the Rebel Alliance as foot soldiers and pilots. While they were loyal to the Rebels, their true loyaly was to the Republic they were trying to resurect, the true Republic that the Galactic Empire destroyed. After the battle of Endor and liberation of Coruscant, the Paladins showed their true colours to their Rebel allies and vowed to serve the New Republic like their ancestors had nearly over ten thousand years ago
