As the Vargr of the Lorean Hegemony grew wealthier, Hegemony humaniti grew more envious, especially among the lower classes. Various groups of disgruntled men led political attacks against the Vargr; some successful, most not. Among the most successful was The Order of One. The Order, inspired by the human-revered Legion of Breskain, established a settlement on Pramas (Empty Quarter 2504) in 866. Following the legionary example, the Order avoided direct military confrontation, instead working as a clearinghouse on anti-Vargr operations. This increased tensions between the species on Pramas considerably, including several riots and violent confrontations.

As human-Vargr relations on the world grew more sympathetic, the genocidal ideology of the Order of One was increasingly unwelcomed by the citizens of Pramas. Initially, the Order's wealth, political contacts and security forces seemed to make them unmovable. Even so, the increasing wealth and status of the Vargr gave them greater leverage in the high councils of the Hegemony. Eventually, with two notable groups -- the planetary leadership of Pramas and the major interstellar Vargr packs -- demanding action against the Order, the Hegemon was forced to expel the Order of One from Hegemony space in 949. Most of the Order willingly relocated to the Sangre system during the 950s, but certain splinter factions refused to budge, requiring a costly military action in 958.

Exiled on Sangre (Empty Quarter 1816), the Order has shifted to a technocratic government focused on taming their world – and killing Vargr pirate raiders.
