This is a place for fiction about Templis Dragonaurs - ultra-nationalist Caldari organization whose origins date back to the Tikiona States and that was once associated with Tibus Heth’s Provist government.
Keep in mind that this is fiction and can not be considered official lore, despite using some existing official info as a starting point.
Aim is to give some flavor for this faction, as they once had notable influence on Caldari State and represent apex of ever existing caldari inclination towards nationalism… As well as I just see them as an interesting group.
Feel free to use this thread as a source of inspiration (but, again, keep in mind that it’s still player fiction) and to post your own ideas there.
Dragonaurs Factionalism
While all cells of Templis Dragonaurs share the same origin and similar goals, their growing numbers turned into matter of time emerging of different philosophies and formation of factions around them.
- Arkidei / "Orchids"
Taking inspiration from K’vire Fuukiuye, ancestor of civire, and the warrior caste of the Raata Empire, their main focus - removal of the corporative system and use of State Armed Forces as the base for the new order.
Arkidei integrate themselves into the SAF and make large efforts for raising the strength and prestige of the Army and Navy and supporting its combat operations openly and covertly.
Positions of Arkidei in SAF faced a notable blow when the State started extensive reformation of armed forces in result of Triglavian Invasions in YC122, which led to more focus on work with megacorporative PMCs.
- Kaltekirym / "Corporatives"
This faction draws inspiration from Deteaas Oryioni, ancestor of deteis. They conquer corporate ladders and look for allies on the tops of Megacorporations, trying to be invisible guiding hand.
Also Kaltekirym find themselves comfortable in the scientific circles, tirelessly working on ways to outsmart opponents of the State and Dragonaurs.
While they can be seen as least combative faction, they still will ruthlessly deal with anything they consider a threat for themselves or caldari at large.
- Rouvenorists
Rouvenorists believe that only through conflict caldari people can stay strong.
They trace their roots to the destruction of the Nouvelle Rouvenor, which they use as an example of how creation of catastrophe can serve the greater good, and to the oldest days of caldari on Caldari Prime, when life was an endless struggle and weaks was destroyed and strong was strengthened by the nature itself.
With that they frequently find themselves in the middle of disasters, natural and artificial alike, looking for those who will come through.
- Parakanat
Parakanat have almost fanatical dedication to the goal of caldari superiority, which they see achievable only by elimination of all possible opposition with use of every possible tactics and technologies.
Being the most radical faction they are apex of what forms Templis Dragonaurs and can be considered a universally known face of this organization.
As this faction moved into cooperation with the Vimoksha Chorus, they received a strong ally. But extent of their deals is still unknown as well as how many members of Parakanat still maintain a free will and how many of them become fully integrated into the Chorus.
There are rumors that this part of Dragonaurs led by somehow alive Tibus Heth himself, possibly captured and turned into a slave of Sansha Nation or Vimoksha Chorus, but these claims are yet to be proven.
