==Overview==

When the Tresario Star Kingdom left the Galactic Alliance, the previous members of the Jedi Order still loyal to the crown and its citizens, left the order in favor of Tresario.  This however, left a hole in the lives of many of these previous Jedi. Without the Jedi Order to guide them, many of the force users were in a state of limbo. They were without the training and leadership that had come with the order. This left these members feeling lost on their paths to becoming more powerful in the ways of the force. It was with this realization that a group of force users came together and decided to form a new force organization, one that would stand for the Crown and for all Tresarian Citizens. This force group would go on to become what is now known as the Tikiar Knights.

The idea when creating the Tikiar Knights was to create an organization that would stand far apart from the Jedi Order and its long list of rules and exclusions. It would be an all inclusive organization that would accept members of all alignments and all walks of life. It would honor the individual beliefs of it members and allow for a more broadened view of the force. It would recognize that deep down, under all of the differences; all of its members were still Tresarian Citizens. Rather than follow a central belief, the Tikiar would, instead, relate members based on common beliefs of protection, freedom, and service to Tresario. 

The Knights would serve Tresario by overseeing all matters that regarded the force. They would be primarily responsible for the training and governing of the current and future force users within Tresario’s ranks. They would also be in charge of relations with allied force organizations. Furthermore, the Knights would be responsible for coordinating with military force to combat and otherwise deal with threats from other force organizations. 

==Structure==

The Tikiar Code is the representation of the central beliefs of the organization. It is what guides the decisions that are made about the organization as well as the individuals within it.  It is what guides the council and the Knights as a whole in all matters of the force as well as in all aspects of life. It represents the way that the knights are accepting of all as well as the dedication to the ideals of freedom and unity. The code is greatly studied and taught to all of the Knights on their journeys to becoming members of the Tikiar.

The Tikiar Knights are lead by a council of some of the most elite and most respected members within the organization. This council is made up of both master and knight level members who are considered to be the wisest and most powerful among the Tikiar. The duty of the Council is to oversee the training and governance of the members within the organization. They are responsible for interpreting the Tikiar Code as well as deciding the current and future course of the Tikiar. They are also responsible for the teaching the ways of the force and assigning missions that need to be carried out by its members.

Unlike most force organizations, while the members are loyal and active members within the Tikiar, most members have other jobs within the ranks of Tresario. Neither duty is more important than the other and members are expected to serve in both roles to the best of their abilities. While this may seem to make training and learning about the force more difficult, the Knights believe in an active approach to teaching and learning. They believe that the best lessons are learned through experience and this method helps members to  learn how to balance the force with the rest of their lives. 

==The Future==

The future of the Tikiar Knights is yet to be seen. It is a constantly evolving force organization that is good at adapting and changing as it sees fit. This ability allows the organization to deal with any changes with the galaxy, Tresario, or the Tikiar Knights themselves. The only constant is remaining loyal to the basic principles that both the Tikiar Knights and Tresario as a whole adhere to, the principles of freedom, unity, and protecting the things that you care about. Even through all the changes, the organization and the members within it remains strong and are always growing stronger.
