Order of the Ffib

The Ffib are a Lorahn sect claiming to be reaching for enlightenment. Centuries before the Clone Wars, the Ffib were one of the many cults on the planet Lorahn, though through skilled promotion of its practices and the promises of redemption, the Ffib spread their beliefs across their planet. Eventually, the Ffib became the dominant religion of Lorahn, turning the planet into one of the galaxy's theocracies, ruled by a council of priests, who claim to base their decisions on divine revelation. Over the centuries, the Sons and Daughters of the Ffib have resisted every attempt to remove them from power. No other religion can be practiced on Lorahn, and is regarded as treason and punished severely. The sect has its own security force that is equipped for the suppression of Lorahn, rather than the invasion of other worlds. The governments of the other planets tolerate the Ffib's rule over Lorahn since they have kept the planet stable and non-aggressive.

However, though the Ffib may seem harmless because they are contained in their planet, they are in fact, constantly searching for ways to spread their beliefs across the galaxy. On most worlds, Ffib missionaries are a common sight and some have managed to set up growing Ffib communities that are loyal to the Ffib authority on Lorahn. In some cases, these branches have been considered a threat to order on particular planets and have been expelled - sometimes violently. There is a long list of martys who have died serving the Ffib order and are honoured as holy beings.

Ffib missionaries are also used as diplomatic representatives and often participate espionage and dealings with criminals and terrorists. Far from practising the holiness they preach, most of these missionaries are Lorahn spies who work to expand the empire of the Ffib. For example, the Ffib order collaborated with the Gran Protectorate of Malastare in a plot to help the Lannik terrorist group Red Laro make an assassination attempt on the lawful Lannik ruler and a group of Jedi. This plan however failed.

The Ffib loathe the Jedi Order. Officially, this hostility towards the noble order is due to the Jedi's refusal to convert to the Ffib sect, though in reality, the Jedi are aware that most Ffib priests are charlatans. The Ffib Order also points to fictional crimes committed by the Jedi as proof that the Order are unenlightened brutes and deceivers. Only one such report is partially true. The infamous pirate Reess Kairn - a former Jedi - ransacked the Ffib's Grand Temple on Lorahn, destroying sacred texts, stole priceless artifacts and slew four Ffib priests during his getaway. As a result, the Ffib are extremely anti-Jedi, though they ignore the fact that Kairn had long ceased to be a Jedi when he perpetrated this act.
