Preamble
- "A millenia ago, the discovery of hyperspace travel brought the galaxy together, giving birth to a democratic union of star systems known as the Galactic Republic. However, those times are in the distant past. The Republic as it was, no longer exists. It was engulfed by the dark times. With the reestablishment of the arcane Order of the Sith and their corruption of several governments, the galaxy became no longer a safe place. Unrest grew side-by-side with the Dark Side. War fell upon us. Different sides, different ideas but a single interest: Power and domination. But, like a phoenix rising from the ashes of the Old Republic, an idealist enclave — based on loyalty — was reborn to restore peace and order to the galaxy. This collective was the Jedi Praxium. The purpose of the Praxium was to restore the Old Republic to its former dignity, overthrowing the corrupted Galactic Empire and its vile pundits by all means necessary within the boundaries of their three principles: Peace, Knowledge, and Justice. Bonds of blood were made and a new destiny for the entire universe was forged. However there was a plot to destroy the Praxium and, unfortunately, it succeeded..."

History
In Year 4, at the tail-end of the Second Imperial Civil War culminating in Emperor Charon's removal from the Imperial throne, the Jedi Praxium threw its support behind Charon, perhaps due to his representation as the lesser of two evils, and rallied against his successor, Greyson Uebles. Consequently, the Praxium saw a sudden influx of disillusioned Imperial personnel who defected or retired from Imperial service and banded together under Chancellor Reajiad Nero to use the Praxium as a staging ground from which to attack the Empire. During this period, the ranks of the Praxium swelled with non-Force Sensitive beings and many of the Force users moved elsewhere. Much of the Praxium's structure, particularly its military and administrative hierarchies, came to resemble the Imperial framework to which the former Imperials were accustomed. But by the middle of Year 5, most of the former Imperials had departed the Praxium, some citing dissatisfaction with their attempts at forming an effective alliance against the Empire, and others dismayed by the dwindling support of the Jedi.
Circa Year 6, Kal Fisto was the leader of the Jedi Praxium with Rhys Skywalker as his second-in-command. During this troubled period, Kal Fisto became disillusioned with the organization. Rhys Skywalker contacted a close ally, The Antarian Rangers, and revealed to its leader Deakon Jarvis that Fisto was secretly dabbling in criminal endeavors.
Shortly thereafter, Fisto claimed a mysterious individual known as Letifer Caes of the Tenloss Syndicate contacted him and requested to be force tested. The force test was a ruse, and Fisto was supposedly captured by Letifer. Compelled to choose between the destruction of the Jedi Praxium and or death, Kal Fisto chose to save his own life. After transferring ownership of the Praxium to Letifer, the organization was stripped of its assets, including a wing of rare Delta Aethersprites and the Taris system. The Antarian Rangers launched several rescue missions to help Jedi Praxium members, but many were killed. Those who survived — Rhys Skywalker, Tealon Aijur, Eric Abital and Siraious Altear — joined the Rangers and vowed to keep the spirit of the Jedi Praxium alive. Years later, an investigation revealed that Kal Fisto had lied: He had not been kidnapped by Letifer. Instead, Fisto had fallen to the Dark Side and had orchestrated what has been seen as an obvious destruction from the outset, stealing all of the Jedi Praxium's assets. He was, however, not able to destroy the spirit and comraderie of the members of the religious order, who moved closer together with their brethren of the Antarian Rangers and continued their work for the light.
