Name: Decem Et Liber Iudicum (The Ten Judges) [sometimes simply referred to as The Judges]
Official Name/Political Name: Bakuran Ascendancy [once on a larger scale]
Home Base(s): Bakura
Note, these are purely future intentions - Planets Looking to Conquer/Control/Will RP to gain Control of as they are neutral territory: Endor, Sullust, Rattatak, Chalcedon, Eriadu, Bespin, Hoth, Belsavis (these general areas are what I would like to see the Judges have influence over/control of, nothing set in stone, but a general idea of where the Faction would likely start looking to establish itself)
Background:
Created in the early years of the current war between Sith and Jedi, the Iudicum is a faction of bounty hunters, former Jedi, and former Sith, that have seen the destruction both sides, and the Mandalorians, have caused across the Galaxy. Believing the Force or God has given them a divine right to impose their code of ethics on these destructive factions, the Judges have arisen to bring their will upon all that seek to disrupt the balance of all things, be they Sith or Jedi, Mandalorian or not.
Founded ten years ago by the woman only known as The Saint, Lucia, or the "Primo Iudex," The Judges are beholden to a code of ethics based around a religious belief that the Force gives them a divine right to impose "the law" upon all that disrupt the balance and stability of the Galaxy. To that end, the Judges are not phased by using violence, bribery, murder, and the Force itself.
The Judicial Mandate:
- Do not interfere with other Judges unless the Judges violate the following code or abuse their power for ends beyond what is ordained by the Force;
- Any means to end or undermine the Sith, the Jedi, or the Mandalorians, or any other faction that disrupts the balance of all things, is the best means;
- The natural world and the Force are one in the same - intentionally destroying nature is akin to blasphemy;
- Murder or death of innocents is out of bounds, unless said killing of innocents is required to stop all other enemies;
- The Force is God, God is the Force; God is Nature, Nature is God; The Force is the Universe.
- Act as though your will is law.
- Expansion and imperialism are necessary to maintain balance.
- Life is meaningless if it does not follow the law.
- Your divine right is given by the Force and your ancestors who live on through the Force.
- Those without the gift of the Force are no lesser than those with the gift - we are all equals under the eyes of the law.
- Respect your enemy - lest you destroy yourself through arrogance.
- Express yourself, expand your mind, exterminate those who seek to destroy you.
- The Force (Considered God, the One, the Infinite) and Force Ghosts
- Primo Iudex, followed by the other nine Judges (The Ten Judges) [All are equal in terms of being, however, the Primo Iudex acts as De Facto leader; all are the law as expressed by the Force]
- Primo Iudex (The First Judge or Prime Judge) [The Saint] - Current: Lucia
- Secundi Iudex (The Second Judge)
- Tertia Iudex (The Third Judge)
- Quartum Iudex (The Fourth Judge)
- Quintus Iudex (The Fifth Judge)
- Sextus Iudex (The Sixth Judge)
- Septimum Iudex (The Seventh Judge)
- Octavo Iudex (The Eighth Judge)
- Quinto Iudex (The Ninth Judge)
- Quarto Iudex (The Tenth Judge)
- The Praeceptorems (The Generals of the Legion) [Pronounced Pray-chep-tor-rems]
- The Legionnaires (the sentient and non-droid members of the military, under the leadership of the Praeceptorems)
- Advocates (Essentially the equivalent of initiates, privates, and padawans)
- 1 Marauder-class Frigates
- 1 Tayana-class Frigates
- 1 CZ-100 Deep Space Patrol Crafts
- 2 PPC-5 Snapper-class Corvettes
- 4 KPDY-Wasps
- 800 Bakuran Soldiers (paramilitary)
- 5 MR-100 Assault Tanks
- 50 Droid Soldiers
- 50 Mercenary Soldiers
Intention:
A). To provide a "fourth way" for characters wishing to be involved in the Galaxy-wide conflict.
B). Bring together Force-Sensitive and non-FS characters to stop the abuses of power committed by the Sith and Jedi; in addition to establishing a "lawful" region of space protected from outside and problematic influences (i.e., the Sith/Empire, the Jedi, and the Mandalorians), and criminal organizations.
C). Level the playing field for non-main faction characters who, in addition to following the code set forth by the Judges, wish to have a part in Galactic politics/affairs/conflicts.
