Government
Grand Master: The Grand Master, similar to the Pope, is elected for life or until he feels he is too old to go lead the nation. He has full authority to make laws and to declare war, though he usually seeks the approval of the College of Cardinals in Legal Decisions.
Board of Advisors: The Board of Advisors, similar to the Cabinet run by the President of the United States, is a group of experts and military leaders, usually made up of the Seneschal (Second in Command, bearer of the Beausant), Secretariat (Foreign Representative), Turcoplier (Commander of the Knights), Infirmer (Head of the Medical Corps), Solier (Commander of the Navy), TAP'ian Ambassador, and the Ghost, Jacques de Molay.
College of Cardinals: The College of Cardinals is a group who elect both the Pope and the next Grand Master. They have no real role outside of that, though they often write laws and pas suggestions for laws on up to the Grand Master, though they rarely do so unless they are requested to do so by the Grand Master.
Council of Bishops: A group of Bishops, the Council of Bishops are primarily judges.
Secretariate: The Secretariate is the head representative to the rest of the Galaxy. Similar to the Secretary of State in the U.S.
Legate: The Legate is a foreign ambassador, and serves the same role. In allied nations, the Legate is also the primary national head of the church, unless the National Council of Bishops request a native head.
Seth System
Military
The military is made up of a 5% active Naval Force, and a 25% reserve of Ground Forces in times of war.
Ranks
Grand Master Cardinal-Flag Officers Archbishop-Senior Officers Bishop-Junior Officers Priest-Knights(Replaces Sergeant/Petty Officer) Monk-Privates/Astronauts
Ground Forces
The Priest Knights have a very sophisticated set of bikes, designed to be able to take out infantry and vehicles alike. The Swoop Bikes they drive are maneuverable enough to avoid most conventional and energy weapons. Only Heat-Seeking missiles and true laser type weapons can hurt them.

The Priest Knights wear full plate, Titanium-Ceramic armor with specialized Chromium-mirror coating that will reflect laser weapons if properly maintained. Over this, they wear pure white tabards with red crosses. These suits of armor serve as both battle and dress uniforms.
Knight Units
42,093 Divisions of Knight Reserves 42,093 Logistics Divisions
Uniform
Those aboard the vessels of the TLO usually wear chromium plated scale maile, with a simple white tabard, while those of Bishop-Officer level usually wear simple black shirts and lacks with a white collar.

Planetary Defenses
The lone inhabited planet of Seth is surrounded by 75 sets of Super MAC Gun trios, each one originally built by TAP for the purpose. The planet also boasts a set of Scrambler, Ray, Deflector, and Cold Plasma fields, which, with the exception of the Scrambler Fields, are left off unless a disaster is occurring. Their scanners are primarily deep space probes that orbit out beyond the Kuiper Belt, and large FTL sensors, which are able to read disturbance in almost all forms of FTL travel.
Longinean Tech
Chromium Plating
The Chromium plating that adorns the ships of the Longinean Order reflects Phaser, Laser, Blaster, and Ion Weapons fire. This allows the Longinean vessels to close with other vessels, and reflect the enemy fire back into their ships.
