Ecclesia Stellariam
The humanitarian arm of the Envien Solar Church
In the light of the Star above, we find endless hope.
Even the dimmest of light belongs to the Sun
The Ecclesia Stellariam, alternatively and previously known as the Order of Illumination, is the centralised humanitarian arm of the Ecclesia Solaris Church, the governing body for Solarists. It mostly operates within the Federation of Anfieden and Allied Planets, with minor operations across the Galaxy.
Headquartered on Envien, in the District of Tradara-Read, the Ecclesia Stellariam, led by the First Archluminary, deals with all types of issues and disasters. This includes spiritual and mental care, and delivering food and other material supplies to those less fortunate.

Ecclesia Stellariam was born of several influential though competing humanitarian organisations that existed under the purview of the Ecclesia Solaris Church, the Order of New Light, Solar Union, and Solarist Aid League. Though disjointed, these organisations shared in the tenets of Envien Solarism, and the wealth of one of the Galaxy's most powerful planets, which allowed for far-reaching impacts. They even operated beyond the borders of the Federation, assisting hundreds of planets and millions of souls.
Under the reign of the Navirex Solis in 4170AC, the disparate organisations would undergo a major merger, becoming the Order of Illumination. The Solaris Church would also take a more active role in the unified body, which would add to the number of material supplies the organisation could provide. It unfortunately also added a political element to Solarist aid. Many soon saw the Order of Illumination as a political organisation, rather than the purely humanitarian organisation the Navirex Solis had envisioned.
Where Solarism has never faltered is its wealth, with a dominant position on the wealthy ecumenopolis Envis, its followers have vast wealth to spare. Leveraging this wealth, later successors to the Solar Pontifex seat would slowly transform the Order of Illumination into an organisation funded by charitable donations. To reinforce the independence of the Order of Illumination, while preserving Religious control, a new position, the First Archluminary, was created.
In 4387AC, the organisation was officially renamed the Ecclesia Stellariam, even as it drifted further from the control of the Ecclesia Church. Through a constant stream of donations, the Ecclesia Stellariam is now found across the Galaxy, with multiple humanitarian fleets under its control. The Ecclesia Stellariam has even been known to operate in active warzones, such as its major presence on Praebia.
Following the FNV Porter Hijacking & Attacks, the Ecclesia Stellariam has halted all its efforts across the Sector of Jenmoreneat. With the overwhelming sentiment across Envien being the total destruction of Greater Jenmoreneat, it is unlikely the Ecclesia Stellariam will receive either the funds or public sentiment necessary for operation in the rebelling Sector.
