Templar Headquarters
Here you will find the headquarters for the Jedi Templar. They're home base is a Jedi Temple within Coral City on the planet Mon Calamari. The Temple itself is a converted office building but because it was constructed by the Mon Calamari it still looks smooth and organic. The perfect setting for a Jedi outpost.
The Templar headquarters are at the very bottom of the structure. Transparasteel floor and walls have a great view the surrounding ocean. A few floors up is the Templar training and supply rooms and everything else up to the spaceport level is just regular old Jedi Temple.
Adjacent to the structure is the Capitol building, where the Federation Government works it's magic.
Templar
The Templar are a sub-sect of the Jedi Order. They were formed by Jedi Master Jor Halcyon and Jedi Knight Drake Hellion. They formed the Templar order as an elite group with specific training in order to perform specific functions. While the Jedi order on a whole studies all aspects of the Force and Life, as well as the sciences and philosophy. The Templar Focus their efforts on protecting history. As such they are a order of Jedi steeped much more in tradition and ceremony.
The Templar preform 3 tasks that they are specifically trained in.
1. They are charged with the defense of all Jedi Temples, outposts and strongholds. Anything from the great temple on Ilum, to a single Jedi's personal home is put under the charge of a Templar who oversees it's defense.
2. They are charged with the pursuit of Dark Jedi. Those who have left the order to turn down the Dark path. Padawans who strayed too close to the dark side. The Templar chase them down and bring them back to the Jedi Order for help and guidance. Only under the most sever circumstances will the Templar kill one of these wayward brothers.
3. The most important of all. They are charged with preforming and recording the Accolade Ceremony. The event that all padawans go through, after which they become knights. Most of the time a good deal is done in preparation for this ceremony, however a Templar can preform it on the spot, at a moments notice should the situation call for it.

To perform these tasks, the Templar are given special training and equipment. Chief amongst them is gold pin with the likeness of two Jedi, one kneeling before the other. The standing Jedi holds his lightsaber over the head of the kneeling one with his head bowed. This pin is to be worn on the Jedi at all times. not necessarily in plain sight, but on his person so that he may quickly identify himself as a Templar.
Also, they are given a specially fitted duroplast curias. The curias is light wait and easily fits under the standard Jedi Robes. It also has a slot that can hold the Templar's gold pin on the right breast, and the symbol of a red cross on the left breast.
To go with the curias, they are given an armband with a small plate of pure cortosis. The armband is meant to be worn on the Jedi's off handed arm to be used as a shield against other lightsaber wielders. It too bears the red cross symbol.
When a Jedi is made a Templar, it is acknowledged by adding the title "Sir" to their full name or surname. For instance. Drake Hellion would become Sir Drake Hellion, or Sir Drake. Never Sir Hellion. For females the title would be Dame.
For the two commanders of the Templar, Jor and Drake, there is yet another title to be used. On formal occasions its proper to address them as Commander Jor Halcyon, or simply as Commander. Informally they should still be known by their Sir titles.
