In the spring of 2004 the Galactic Order was founded by Carthay27 and Ligus as a both light side and dark sided gaming clan on Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy. It didn’t take long before an internal war broke out between the Jedi and the Sith that threatened to destroy the clan. During this war two Jedi Knights CCL123 and Battles 14 made a name for themselves serving at the front line with Master Carthay fighting back against the Sith takeover. After several months of war there was a victor, the Jedi’s had pushed Darth Ligus and his troops out and gained control of the community. With the war now over the Galactic Order shifted its goals towards the growth of the clan, having as much fun as we could and becoming a family of gamers. The official date we use as our legal founding is March 25th, 2005 the day we opened our first website. Some of the games you could find us on back then were Jedi Knight Jedi Academy, Battlefront, Republic Commando, Rainbow Six, Counter-Strike, Ghost Recon, Crimson Skies, Halo 2, Splinter Cell and MechAssault.

In 2006 the Galactic Order had a council vote upon the request of the Master Carthay to vote upon the first Grand Master. The council unanimously voted Master Battles 14 to the title of Grand Master. We expanded  into playstation 2 and created a strong SOCOM team and started to compete on playstation. The clan was able to win the title of voted #1 clan by a community of its peers on Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy.

In 2007 the Galactic Order’s council announced two new projects making close alliances to help other communities grow strong and prosper like our own and sending team out to compete in the arena. Before the year was done over 50 alliances had been created by Master CCL and in honor of his actions he was appointed Head of the Senate. Additionally, several of our players ranked top places globally in several different arenas for Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4.

In 2008 the council decided to have Jedi’s go to all the different consoles to spread the name of the Galactic Order and to bring the values and teaching of the community to others through helping spread the idea of a gaming family. During this time we fought in countless wars destroying all that remained of any sith orders we could find. At this point in time the order had grow to 15 Masters and 27 Knights. Notable actions from Knight Fishyboy and Knight Coalesce in the destruction of the sith order known as Sabers of the Sith or SOTS.

In 2009 this became the year of gamebattles and tournaments competing through out the spring and summer. Sadly in the fall  knowing the end of the original Xbox servers were near the council recalled all its members from PC, Playstation 2 and Playstation 3 and asked them to get on either Xbox console and come play Jedi Knight Jedi academy until the server’s end. All members said yes and came back home for the remaining months.  

In April of 2010 the servers for the original Xbox go down and the community starts to separate all different ways returning to the different consoles. Many people didn’t buy an Xbox 360 and the community lost the bulk of its members. For the remained of 2010 all the way through 2012 the Galactic Order stayed small with the few members remaining still playing together and reminiscing about the good old days. Master Carthay at this time decided to focus more on his acting career and moved into retirement as a clan historian. Master CCL took an honorable retirement for medical reasons. Master Fishyboy moves into competitive PC gaming and to professional paint balling. Master Battles took this time to help some of the clans that the Galactic Order had helped create most notable among them  Knowledge Strength Integrity, Die Hard Gamers, Team Xiled International, United Extreme Gaming, Xiled Gaming, Loyalty Honour Respect and Black Wolves.

In January of 2013 Master Battles commissioned the creation of a new Jedi temple on Call of Duty Black Ops II. On May 21st, 2013, the council launched the new website GRMgaming.com and Master Battles changed his name over to Master Sean to create a new tradition of Jedi Knight’s and Jedi Master’s gamertags signifying whom the leaders of the organization are. The council also announced the creation of a military branch call (G)alactic (R)epublic (M)ilitary that will offer all different games across all differ consoles to gamers who can follow the clan policies, wish to be a part of a family of gamers, have a place online to call home and work towards becoming the next generation of leaders.

In 2014 the council announced that both the Galactic Order and GRM will be taking part in the online campaign against cyber-attacks and against cyber bullying. The Galactic Order’s temple security forces headed by Knight Sizl could successfully stop all attacks on the Call of Duty Black Ops II league play servers. Knight Sizl and Knight Fate had successful defeated at the time the largest booting organizations xMPx and VGK. Special thanks also goes to 7\D/S whom is comprised of former Galactic Order members who assisted in the defeat of both these cyberbullying organizations.As the year comes to an end several different leaders had deaths in their families that shock the leadership to its core. By the spring of 2015 the 7 leaders had close deaths creating a dark period for the Galactic Republic Military. The organization faced a turning point that looked like our long-standing order would be coming to an end. But the Force was strong and several members fought hard to keep the organization afloat while leaders mourned the loss of family and friends alike. During this time Knight Luna work with Grand Master Sean to bring about a plan to create a rebirth for the Galactic Republic Military.  With renewed faith and strong resolve, they both went to work with the plans to reopen the doors to the public and rebuild the only 2-year-old section of the Galactic Order. One of the biggest plans was to bring on a new business partner for the administration side of the organization, whom would later grow to be known as Knight Pain. In December, the doors opened back to the public and within the first 2 months over 20 new squads were created and the organization had regained its momentum. Before the years and the council had change us from a .com to a .net to increase our SEO.

In the Spring of 2016 we grew the organization by over one thousand new members expanding to Halo 5, Gears of War, Battlefront, Titanfall 2, Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege, 3 different Call of Duty titles and 3 different Battlefield titles, Grand Theft Auto and much more. Our website was redesigned with funds provided by our members to create a more up to date style gamers have grown to enjoy.  The creation of new Knights was a major goal for the year of 2016 and Knight Pain and Knight Owl have stepped up as examples of what Knight’s should be. “Leading by Example” As the year progressed the Grand Master of the organization Master Sean was moved to the title of Clan Elder and became Elder Sean, while Knight Luna was moved to Master Luna and become a council member in her own right. The Galactic Order was gaining more strength and the community continued to flourish. We sent 15 different team to compete in different tournaments across 15 games major events included Halo World Championship and Gears of War Esport Pro-Circuit.Created a gaming house for teams competing in 2 different states. The community moved back to Playstation to expand the message of the Galactic Order on the Playstation 4 with Battlefront, Density and Call of Duty. Additionally reopening the PC server on Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic.

In the Spring of 2017 a Padawan grew to distinguish himself and grew to become a Knight under training through Elder Sean. His name was RedLeader and is now known as Knight Red the first Knight of 2017. The council has unanimously voted to make changes to existing ranking system to have it fall more in line with the original design for the Galactic Order and has change military ranks to Jedi ranks with the hope of creating higher quality knights. As the year continued 4 new sponsors were added to the growing list of companies working with the Galactic Order and the purchase of a new vBulletin program for the development of the new website projected for 2019. Knight Red take control of the Department of Economics and helped the community invest correctly to generate additional funding generating an ROI of more than $5,000 to help support the further grow of the organization. In the summer a new program for the ranking system was completed and 4 new Jedi Knights were added to the growing list of order members. As we enter the fall Master Luna was named Master of The Order making her the new head of GRM. As the year was coming to an end our allies KSI Global had asked for support to help them fight their war and restabilize their dieing community. Master Sean, Knight Pain and Knight Fate had defeated the group known as hydra and left our allies with the teaching of the Jedi. Sadly their leadership was stuck in their new ways of backstabbing and deceit and followed more of a sith view then a jedi view on how to govern their organization.  Two months after leaving the clan broke apart making a fourth KSI named clan now known as KN Killjoy Network. However the defeat of hydra was a great blow to those who would attempt to hurt gamers and made xbox a safer place for all to enjoy. Special thanks to Grand Master Sean for his endless fight to keep all gamers safe and teaching the clan leaders how to use a VPN and change their IP for safety from such evil. The council saw fit to bestow the new title of Jedi Elder to Grand Master Sean as he had been a lifetime council member for 10 years and created a new tradition of after 10 years as a lifetime member you become a clan elder.

In 2018, we enter into the spring with the creation of two new Master's, Master Owl and Master Luke.  We currently have 18 different battalions up and running offering 17 different games to the public on Xbox One and have 3 new battalions being developed for our Playstation 4 server. The community is currently over 6,000 active members and our biggest competitor has closed down making us the oldest and largest gaming community. This year we were voted the #1 clan by the Alliance of Gaming Leaders (AGL Organization) consisting of the 10 oldest gaming orders. We would like to thank all past and current members for the hard work they have put in over these last 14 years to provide the best gaming environment to all gamers. Over the course of the summer we grew to 36 different games across xbox and open a Poke’mon Go Mobile server. As we enter the fall Elder Sean recalled all leaders from Playstation, Xbox, PC, Mobile and Oculus to hold what is known as the Council of First Knowledge. Throughout the fall going into winter the council decided to relocate the majority of the members into the public social server as it created the new training program designed to make the organization a less work my play zone. This program is run by Master Luke, Master Owl and Master Luna to create the high quality Jedi Knights to meet the leadership needs as we lay the foundations for the new Playstation 5 and Xbox Scarlett. New community records worth mentioning this year we grew to 36 battalions and 3 fleets, signed 7 new sponsor, developed an xbox api program to scan for security threats and innovated the new ams program.
