The Chimera Order was a revolutionary movement led by Melukien Tar’Shakaar that coalesced on Tatooine during the reign of Emperor Charon and attempted to drive the Galactic Empire from the Tatoo system.

Brief history

At the dawn of the Republic's colonization, many believed that Tatooine was just another star in the Tatoo System, the reason to that were the bright light that it reflected from it's twin sun´s. When it was discovered to be a planet, many people rushed to colonize it, some believing there would be good mining and some as refugees seeking a new home.

The Chimera Order had already preserved justice and had maintained the nine virtues on Tatooine under the rulership of the royal houses for nearly 700 years. Unfortunately the origin of their bloodlines remains a mystery, thus it can not be traced further back than to the arrival of the old republic due to the fact that all information regarding them was lost during the Exile war.

The wave of old republic settlers -- called "oldsters" in local folklore -- sought to turn a profit by exploiting the ore found beneath the sands. This was the beginning of the end for the royal history on Tatooine. The magnetic ore was soon discovered to have undesirable metallurgic properties. The weary miners and investors abandoned their failed mines and equipment, looking to distance themselves from this Core-forsaken world. Not all could afford to leave. Those that stayed behind turned to moisture farming and trading to survive.

The first moisture farming settlement was formed at the northern end of the Jundland Wastes, and named Fort Tusken. It prospered for a couple of years, growing crops from water they evaporated out of the air. But then the town was attacked by mysterious raiders, which later became known, for this reason, as Tusken Raiders. However, Fort Tusken survived and rebuilt, but was eventually abandoned due to the high temperatures near the edge of the temperate zone.

When the Hutts came to Tatooine, so too did their wealth and illicit business. Tatooine was given newfound life as a trading post and backdrop for Criminal commerce. This started the Exile War.

The fall of the royal houses became a reality and the exile war came to an end, but one of the royal houses remained on Tatooine, this was the royal house of Tar´Shakaar. This house were the home of the Chimera Order.

The Chimera Order concealed themselves and did not appear in the galactic history until the jedi purge, and during this fierce war against the darkest of evil they lost their last influence on Tatooine and were forced to hide once again as The Galactic Empire invaded Tatooine.

Recently the Chimera Order have re-appeared on the galactic scene and this time they are under the command of Saint Melukien Tar´Shakaar of Tatooine, and this time they are here to stay.
