Sar Bares Flir

Translated to "Origins Bring Freedom", the Sar Bares Flir was a fanatical order of spiritualists that rose in reaction to the influx of offworld influences threatening to dilute traditional Sarian culture. Most Sarians tolerated the settlers and pioneers, and indeed interwove several galactic aspects, nuances, and conveniences into Sarian life. Culture clash was more of a gradual experience, but was certainly brewed in intensity because of racial tensions between Sarians in regards to perceptions about offworld involvement.

Sarian culture is one of balance &mdash; of one aspect complementing and working with another. If one aspect, or trade, or activity, or personality becomes more prominent, it affects the others. The Casohavi became increasingly involved in offworld issues, adjusting much of their way of life to suit offworld tastes and opinions. This didn't sit well with the Meditersari, who began to resent their brethern for compromising Sarian traditions and beliefs. Under normal circumstances, resentment doesn't necessarily lead to open hostility in Sarian culture, but several Meditersari began to harbor anymosity towards certain Casohavi, and went so far as to appeal to other Sarians &mdash; the Eireasari, who frequently were regarded as the wise reasoning part of Sarian life, and the Janhovi, who represented the base of the population, and the most conservative of belief sets. For this reason, most of the Sar Bares Flir's composition was indeed Meditersari or Janhovi.

Around 80 BBY, the first real strains of cultural tensions manifested themselves in public communications. Speeches were made, demonstrations took place, and dialogues between sage councils commenced with great fervor. Much of the hostility was diffused or under-estimated, simply because the Caspians (offworlders) kept mostly to Caspar and left Mergansar primarily to the Sarians. This wasn't good enough to a few passionate people, and they began to conspire, considering courses of action to address Caspia's future, and its composition and identity, more directly.

The Sarginist (literally Origin Group) was officially recognized in 72 BBY, with a series of vociferous public demonstrations and information campaigns attributed to it. This continued until 66 BBY, wherein a few Sarginist Sarians gained a much more influential voice in the system's leadership and direction.

While primarily comprised of Sarians, the group did allow individuals of other races to become members, provided they possessed the moral and spiritual fortitude. The individual had to display unswerving devotion to the order, and betrayed loyalty is swiftly and mercilessly dispatched.
