The Early History of the Knights of Tarsus
The earliest recorded mention of the Knights of Tarsus was in Earth year 2194, ten years after the Greenies took ofer planetary governance. They probably existed before that but history does not know of their earlier actions. It is suspected they grew out of the ashes of the collapsed Christian church.
Christianity dies along with most other Earth religions when the Greenies took over and made their Green Bible the law of the planet. Any other religious thought was considered heritical and banned. Once the Greenies fell some two hundred years later it was learned that these religious movements had not died, only gone underground. Islam, Christianity, Judiasm, Hindu, Buddhist and a varitey of Nature religions all came out when they no longer feared the Scribes of the Greenies.
The Tarsans adopted Mary Carmini as their spokesperson and that seemd to be a turning point for them. From then on they were a militant, expansionist, dogmatic army of zealots.
Fanatical to their core they were difficult to oppose. They claimed to have never lost a fight. On Earth that may be true but we all know that they did loose a fight on Kusha, and the one fight they did win here led to Mary Carmini’s end.
Tomorrow: The Tarsans Today
