Order of Arrack

The order of arrack we’re once a group of Jedi knights and masters who left the order on corasont, for fear of future corruption; this corruption had been seen in numerous visions shared amongst the order. The band of Jedi we’re believed to have been killed after their ship was apparently destroyed from a collision with multiple asteroids. However, the group survived the destruction, crash landing on the neighboring moon of an unidentified planet. While on this moon, the Jedi supposedly discovered an outpost of sorts, this outpost had apparently belonged to the planets native inhabitants who had all but died out. One representative remained alive, found by the Jedi in a form of partial stasis. It was discovered that this individual was in fact graphed into the outpost’s computer mainframe itself, the life form holding within it, a complete historical record of its people’s existence. It is believed that this life form, known as Cunuck, taught the Jedi a great deal regarding its race and culture, as well as sharing their many technological advances. It was believed this same life form configured the outposts’ mainframe to mimic the same design and functionality as the Jedi orders mainframe on corasont. Shortly after the configuration was complete the life form known as Cunuck mysteriously died, leaving the outpost in the control of the Jedi. The Jedi chose not to leave the moon; instead they remained at the outpost. Choosing the word “Arrack”, which was the correct pronunciation for the name of Cunuck’s people, the Jedi formed the Order of Arrack. The Jedi embraced the Arracks teaching and traditions, finding that the cultures values were complementary to that of their own. Feeling a need to shed the identity of there past life’s, the Jedi created for themselves new identities, ones that identified more holistically with their new life. The Jedi designed new robes, instruments and various other rituals. The rituals brought with them a renewed sense of unity to the group of Jedi. One of the traditions that were introduced was the use of multiple mentors in the learning stages from novice to warrior. The Jedi used this for training up their padawun’s to becoming knights. This tradition involved approximately twelve masters to every one padawun, these masters would all contribute in a particular way in the padawun’s preparation of knighthood. Along with the Jedi’s training, the lightsaber was also one of the institutions that took on new meaning. Upon learning of an incredibly rare mineral, as well as alloys and crystals in the mainframes data banks, the Jedi surveyed the brutal environment of the orbiting planet and discovered several subterranean chasms that the Arrack used as mining sites for these precious substances. Once found the Jedi used the alloy along with the rare mineral and crystals to create a distinctive lightsaber. The lightsaber was to be given to all Jedi upon becoming knights, however contrary to past tradition of lightsabers being completely customized by their users, the Arrack saber had a predetermined design and its creation was a process shared amongst the communal mentors, from the internals to the hilt. The only element of the saber that was solely chosen by its user was the emitter shroud. As the order became strengthened by its tight net community, the Jedi soon allowed marriage to partake. Although this was a necessary action for the Jedi to assure the orders survival, it was also a natural progression and a conscious conclusion that was shared collectively. As far as it is known, the order maintained little involvement with outside conflicts, however there where report of a mysterious band of Jed that where involved in several missions on other worlds, one such mission was the deliverance of the Omarian’s on Omar. Little is know about how knowledge of this secretive order came to be but some believe that some in the Arrack order communed to a select few of their past comrades on corasont through visions and dreams. There are those that believe knowledge of the orders existence was shared amongst a small number of Jedi within the Jedi order and that over many years this information was passed onto others, this has never been confirmed. The Arrack order is believed to have mysteriously vanished six hundred years before the formation of the galactic empire, all information surrounding their disappearance is vague, consisting of unconfirmed reports with little to no physical evidence giving clue to their obscurity. One such account exists however that claims the Sith Lord Darth Vader apparently visited the outpost briefly before reporting its destruction, as was ordered by Emperor Palpatine.
