During centuries, Templars have been in the shadow of power, managing their influence remaining anonymus. It's only during the last years that one particular Commandery, The White Templars, has appeared publicly as an armed organization supporting the claim of Arissa Lavigny-Duval to the throne of the Empire.
Basically, The White Templars are a Chivalric Order and a neofeudal organization that base her power on land ownership, estate properties, selected businesses and a bank network deeply settled within Baal. We are Imperial traditionnalists, we respect the hierarchy of the society and the necessity of Imperial slavery, but we are also the Protector of the weak, of the honest citizen, of the poors. We always take care for the welfare of Imperial slaves, as we consider slavery as a way to protect the poors and their dignity. Therefore, the people knows us better for our many philantropical organizations and foundations.
Our outbreak as a political faction
In Baal, we have been backing for many years Baal Guardians of Tradition government. Reciently though, we realized that our shadow power over them was crumbling. That's when our Grand Master Templar and his council decided that time has come to leave the shadow where we stood for too long. To assume the counterbalance of power against Baal Guardians of Tradition, we adapted our ideology to a Patronage faction and stand in the past election at the middle of November 3301. We won the election with 31 % of votes, but maintain ourselves in power only for two weeks. In the beginning of December 3301, BGT managed to win a censure motion against our first government and recover power. Nevertheless, they can't ruled alone anymore, as we bore the balance of power and they needed our faction to assume the majority on the government. We indeed considered them as a corrupt faction that unfortunately forgot that to care of our people is also part of our Imperial traditions. Therefore, our objective was to take power over Baal as soon as we could.
The White Templars political party
As White Templars knights, we are not politicians but warriors and Imperial pilots. Eventhough It is the Grand Master Templar and his council that rules the faction as a whole, our representatives to the Baal Senate are retired White Templars known as the Elder Council. The leader of our political party respond directly to the Grand Master Templar.
A renewed struggle for power
On March, 10Th of Year of Grace 3302, the Traditionnalist government were defeated by a vote in the Senate. Baal Guardians of Tradition were forced to resign and a new election will take place soon. Many experts of Baal politic affairs predicted that The White Templars could lead the next government of our Imperial System.
From March 14Th of Year of Grace 3302, The White Templar Elder Council has been assuming the government with 36,9 % of the votes. They won the election of Baal B1 and Tousey Orbital, they led the government, though they still shared the majority with Baal Guardians of Tradition. On March 21st, Baal Guardians of Tradition reached to demand a new vote, but there is no sign that they could take the government again. Baal politic experts agree that The White Templars should reach even the majority over the government soon, and take power over Stromgren Orbital and even many settlements on Baal A1 and Baal A2 planets.
