 As a holy order, the Templars are by definition tied to the Essian priesthood. They are required to undergo physical, mental, and spiritual tests to ensure that they are devoted and capable warriors. The separation of religion and politics meant nothing to the [[species:separa_shan|Separa'Shan]] as they lived in theocratic states prior to the arrival of [[faction:yamatai_star_empire|Yamataian]] envoys. Their success and the high profile nature of their early work gained them wide praise and respect from all quarters of the planet. Since then, they have become the focus of many Separa'Shan stories of all genres.  As a holy order, the Templars are by definition tied to the Essian priesthood.

When they encountered the Yamataians in [[timeline:ye_29]], the Order was a zealous fighting force instilled with the belief that they were the defenders of their religion and planet.+Due to their religious role, the Separa'Shan were rather concerned about the way the more secular Yamataians would view them.

 The Templar still cultivate the image of a warrior-priest, able to preach one moment and invoke the wrath of the gods in battle the next. The image of duality, peaceful preacher sitting by the roadside full of morality and wisdom juxtaposed against the image of a fierce, fanatical warrior in the heat of battle, combined with their illustrious history and surrounding mythos, stirs the romantic inspirations of many Separa'Shan. The Templar still cultivate the image of a warrior-priest, able to preach one moment and invoke the wrath of the gods in battle the next.
