Nomadic Order of Errant Paladins, Ronin, & Knights / NOEPRKS

Heading Two We are the Wandering Ronin, the Lordless Knights, the Tarnished Paladins.

The Nomadic Order of Errant Paladins, Ronin, and Knights, also known as the Wandering Ronin, was founded in 2884 by a group of survivors of the Lost Squadron, Squadron 88. The soldiers disappeared and faked their deaths, sending only 1 survivor back to the UEE to protect their desertion. These UEE soldiers who were disillusioned by the Messer era and wanted to start anew. They left the military due to the corruption that led to their home system being under-protected, ripe for attack form the Vanduul. They left in order to create a new life that was free from the restrictive rules and false honor of the UEE. Along they way, they found more like themselves.

They wandered the galaxy for months. Using their unique talents to do the things the UEE was not doing for its people, while they searched for a new home. Along the way, they found other soldiers, marines, and citizens of possessing a certain level of skill, an even temperament, and boundless honor. These Paladins, Ronin, Knights, and Samurai all agreed with the founders. With the fall of the Messer’s, there was not a place for them in this galaxy. So they joined the Wanderers and they eventually settled in the Leir System on Leir 3. Where they found a group of people with no one to protect them from the elements, pirates, or themselves.

The collection of skilled people wanting to start anew, became an order of protectors that wanted to bring some level of order to where they lived and disappear from the rest galaxy. Where once other settlers feared the lawlessness and the Pirates that plagued the planet. They now could focus on expanding and living with the Valakkars that roamed the sands. They helped protect and develop settlements and brought order to the lawless place. They became a respected and feared group of mercenaries and traders.

As the years passed, the Wandering Ronin became known for their code of conduct, which emphasized Honor, Skill, and Temperament. Many other groups in the galaxy sought their services, as they knew that the Ronin would always fulfill their contracts and uphold their word. But while the founders wanted to provide a haven for those that want to disappear, they also understood that people change. They wanted to allow for their ideals to spread elsewhere. They designed their Order to allow its members to join other organizations. Much like the fraternities, sororities, and secret societies of old Earth, Wandering Ronin are encouraged to grow in other orgs. But to answer if called upon to defend the order and to not harm other members. The Wandering Ronin may not always operate within the law, but they do not kill without reason and are a generally more honorable form of privateer.

This is how they really became a Nomadic Order. Allowing their members to always seeking out new opportunities and adventures. They would often travel to different systems and planets, taking on new contracts and trading goods. Their reputation continued to grow, and they became known as one of the most formidable and reliable groups in the galaxy.

Today, the Wandering Ronin continue to operate as a respected organization, with many members still living and protecting the Leir System. While many others have joined different organizations, militaries, and companies around the galaxy. Their code of honor remains at the core of their beliefs, and they continue to be a beacon of hope for those seeking a new start in the galaxy.

“Are all who Wander, Lost?”
“No, Withered Traveler, you have a home here.”
