Ordo Templaris fifth Crusade
The Story of the Ordo begins before it was formed, with a group known as the Atrox Ascensus. The veteran members of the Ordo Templaris were all under the command of the Imperator Wolfus and Imperatrix Vexe.
After two years under the firm grasp of Wolfus and Vexe, the Imperatrix unexpectedly released the majority of her power base, the , one day. Her reasons for doing so remain a mystery to the average Ascensus member, but those who knew her true intentions were glad to be released from their allegiance to the Dark Lord. With the vast majority of the Atrox leaderless, wondering what to do and who to turn to in an ever-changing galaxy, High Lords Ehoc and Fenrir seized the opportunity to rise to power and formed a new order - the .
Discovering an ancient sacred Temple on the planet Seswenna, Ehoc and Fenrir, claimed the titles of Templari, would operate and follow in the footsteps of Sith long past. A crusade against the light side of the Force demanded absolute devotion and loyalty. Guided and fueled by the dark side of the Force, the Ordo Templaris thought themselves to be invincible. But at the height of their power, the Sith Empire struck out against them and dealt a crippling blow to the Ordo, destroying their stronghold on Seswenna in one swift attack.
The Order was left scattered and broken. After a period of schisms, the Ordo reunited on the remote world Dosuun in Wild space, where they began preparing for their reborn conquest, focusing their efforts on combating the injustice and corruption in the galaxy, casting aside the ancient grudge against the light. From there, they started collecting allies, forming alliances and building their strength. Another incident would see the Ordo broken and fractured, leading eventually to the death of Templari Fenrir, executed by Templari Ehoc.
The Ordo is continuously learning more about the Ordo history. They have gained a deeper understanding of who the old Templars of the ordo was and what they strived to achieve. They discovered that remnants of the ancient order they represented still existed, but that their views on the Ordos purpose was very different. This lead to another schism within the Ordo, the old against the New. The schism began with the death of Templari Ehoc and is ongoing. The Dominum, a shadow faction within the Empire surprised the Ordo by lending assistance at the beginning of this second schism. Lead by Lady Salidar several of these soldiers defected to join the Ordo. Part of the arrangement ensured Lady Salidar the title of Templari. With both Ehoc and Fenrir dead the leadership has fallen to Fia, now the Grand Master of the ordo. The focus turned to face the threat they had unleashed upon the galaxy, the old Ordo lead by Ahskaf.
