"To build a legacy in stone; Immortal in time; Ours are the hands."

The Rokirs are a family within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

Family Origins

The life and history of the family founder can be found within the Vassan Rokir entry.

The Origin of the Rokir Name

The Ricaldian moon of Rokir is named after the son of the system's discoverer, Danal Ricaldi. Rokir Ricaldi was, as legend has it, a deadly and cold warrior who in ages past distanced himself from his famous and altruistic father. He was also said to have a hatred and jealousy of his beautiful sister, Phaeyta, who always remained close to her father.

This legendary family structure was later symbolized in the naming of the system's chief habitable planet, and its two moons: the small and lush forest moon that held a close orbit to Ricaldi, was named Phaeyta; and the other, dead and desolate moon, far from the warmth and light of Ricaldi was named Rokir.

When choosing his Dark Jedi name, Chanlin Marr decided to embody his two "selves":

His first "self" was that of a builder: his own efforts as a politician in the EH Imperial Senate, his father's legacy as a business owner, and his family heritage as famous architects; all notions of creation, and of building a better future. By this he took the name of the Marr family founder, "Vassan."

His other "self" was the darker half: his military service under the Galactic Empire and later the Emperor's Hammer, and the admission that true control, true change, required conflict. And so as his surname he chose that of "Rokir," the legendary warlord and conquerer.

Symbolically, his name represented a sort of balance: the creator, and the destroyer. This would eventually be reflected in the Family Seal: two hands, each in turn gripping a hammer of creation, and a dagger of death.

Family Mission

Membership Guidelines

From the original membership document:

"To become a Rokir requires dedication, loyalty, and hard work. But once these initial trials are completed, members will enjoy an amount of respect and influence unknown in most Dark Jedi Families. Unlike most other broods, the Family Rokir means something:

We are Architects for the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

“Meaning” also requires adherence to set guidelines, both as a sign of discipline and a hallmark of legitimacy.

1. There shall be no recruiting. Anyone who is to become a Rokir must inquire of his or her own free will and curiosity.

2. There are no guarantees. Even if a potential member completes all the initial trials of membership, he or she is still subject to approval for membership by a majority vote of all vested Family members.

There are two main requirements to become, and remain, a member in the Rokir Family:

1. A potential Rokir must have attained the minimum rank of Guardian in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

2. A potential Rokir must design, and write a description for, a facility for use by either the Dark Jedi Brotherhood on the whole, or for any specific Clan/House/Group within the Brotherhood. This "facility" can take a myriad of forms: a temple, a factory, a nightclub, a monument, etc.

While it is not required, it is customary upon acceptance into the family that new members add the Rokir surname to their Dark Brotherhood name."
