Morgukai

"Yes! To kill your enemy with your blade as they face you! This is true Morgukai way!"

- Tsyr

The Morgukai was one of several secret societies formed in the history of the Nikto people of Kintan. Prominent during the days of the Old Republic, the Morgukai cult was considered extinct in the years preceding the rise of the Galactic Empire.

Little was known of the order, but its members were renowned for their intense hatred of the Jedi and their strong code of honor. Morgukai followers used armor and staffs made of cortosis ore, which was resistant against lightsabers. To fight their sworn enemies, they developed mental exercises to resist the Jedi mind trick. Their order bore some similarity to that of the Jedi. Fathers took their sons as apprentices, training them in the deadly arts. An example of this is the master-student bond between the Nikto Tsyr and Bok. Also, Morgukai initiates were required to build their own cortosis staffs as a test of their devotion to the order.
