Faithful

The Faithful was the term used for the main faction of the Pius Dea order during the civil war between them and the Renunciates.

History
After a faction of the Pius Dea were influenced by Jedi and Caamasi groups to alter their religious views, this group, called the Renunciates, waged war upon the main faction. This caused the Pius Dea Faithful to devote more resources away from their other enemies in the galaxy, which had been the Jedi and Caamasi intention all along. The civil war eventually helped lead to the downfall of the main order. After a sabotage operation by the Bureau of Ships and Services, many Pius Dea Faithful Cathedral ships were lost in space, unable to restart their hyperdrives.

The remaining Faithful space forces were decimated by the Renunciates battleships. The head of the order, Supreme Chancellor Contispex XIX, was captured by a team of Jedi Knights aboard his flagship, ending both the civil war between the factions and the larger Crusades the order had inflicted upon the galaxy.
