Ordo Sacris

The Ordo Sacris was a highly technologically advanced civilisation that laid claim to a small volume of space centred around The Gate Star. They did not interact much with outside civilisations, insisting on an exclusion zone that no other power was permitted to enter - a zone that they defended with significant military force. Whilst their naval fleet was relatively small, their ships so significantly outclassed those of competing nations that their side rarely suffered any casualties.

It was three fertile worlds situated towards one edge of their exclusion zone that would ultimately bring them into conflict with the Ferrian Compact, as in the eyes of the compact these worlds were unsettled, and thus, unclaimed. It was an incident where the colonists were ordered to leave, and then fired upon once they refused that would spark the Ferrian-Sacristan War.
