History

Founding

Keeper of the Family Honor Sanyu Kurita grew the O.5.P. in the 2420, forming it from the agents she was using to control the ivory trade in the Draconis Combine. The O.5.P. was acting a regulators of the ivory trade, informing the Keeper about the situations surround it. The ISF found this to be an encroachment into their responsibilities and quickly complained to the Coordinator, who shrugged off the complaints. Unable to quash the development of this rival intelligence agency, the ISF instead infiltrated it.[1]

The Order Underground

During the reign of House Von Rohrs the order had hard times, because the new Keeper saw no purpose for the order. His first act in 2459 as Keeper was to kill Abbess Jamila Benhashemi. Many leaders of the O.5.P. were executed to destroy the organization. The lower ranks maintained the organization by blending into the local populations, hiding their presence. The traditions were maintained, and the order stayed hidden until Martha Kurita took the position of Keeper in 2510. Even so, the O5P remained hidden and avoided revealing their full network until the ascension of Siriwan McAllister to the position of Coordinator. [2]

Restoration and Revival

Under this new leadership, the order turned around their fate in time. The headquarter was constructed on Luthien and their influence over the military was increased, because all officer received instructions from the members of the order. That gave them increased power. When the future officer shows potential he can get a new aspirant for the O.5.P. The operations are carried out with little fanfare. The political situation decide how the O5P operates, in conjunction with the ISF or independently.[citation needed]

Post-Clan Invasion

The ISF has tried many times to infiltrate the Order but met with little success as the Society is extremely skeptical towards strangers. During the era of Omi Kurita, the cooperation was closest, but relations broke down after the new Keeper was accused by the Internal Security Force of being a member of the Black Dragon movement. Since then the Order broke off all contact with the ISF. [3]

The Jihad

A purge of the Black Dragon Society within the Draconis Combine on the 27th of January 3073 netted a number of high officials including the Abbess of the Order of the Five Pillars.[4][5]

Organization
