The first Equite rank has a stable history in terms of the Sith and Krath names for the rank. However, the Obelisk name began as Obelisk Warrior, which got replaced briefly by the unpopular Obelisk Champion. It was replaced only weeks later by the present Obelisk Templar, which began existence as the Obelisk name for the fourth Equite rank.
