The Galactic Order, also known as the Galactic Republic Military (GRM), is a long-standing, family-oriented online gaming community and clan with deep Star Wars themes. Founded in spring 2004 (with the official date marked as March 25, 2005, when its first website launched), it originated as a Jedi/Sith clan in *Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy*
and has grown into a multi-platform gaming organization supporting Xbox, PlayStation, PC, mobile, and more.
History and Growth
Over two decades, the community has navigated internal restructurings, mergers (such as with the Tiberius Dominion in 2019), alliances, expansions into dozens of games, and defenses against cyber attacks and bullying.
It peaked with over 6,000 active members around 2018 (after rapid growth adding thousands in the mid-2010s) and has been recognized as a top clan, including "#1" rankings in games like
*Halo 3*,
*Call of Duty 4*, and by the Alliance of Gaming Leaders.
The group has secured partnerships with companies like Microsoft, Sony, Razer, Amazon, and Oculus, and participated in major esports events like the Halo World Championship.
Themes and Structure
The clan features classic Star Wars elements, including Jedi ranks (Padawan, Knight, Master, Grand Master, Elder), councils, the Jedi Code, and a military-style structure with battalions and fleets. Supported games span a wide variety—historically up to 36 titles—including *ARK: Survival Evolved*,
*Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*,
*Mortal Kombat 1*,
*Star Wars Squadrons*,
*Halo*, *Call of Duty*,
*Rainbow Six Siege*,
*Fortnite*,
*Apex Legends*, and many others.
Values and Focus
At its core, the Galactic Order promotes a safe, fun, anti-bullying environment rooted in Christian faith, offering a space for members to build friendships, develop leadership, express their beliefs, and praise "our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." Its guiding values are Loyalty, Knowledge, Honor, Family, Respect, Innovation, Integrity, Faith, and Fun.
Activities
Members enjoy nightly events, in-house tournaments with prizes, leadership training, Member of the Month awards (e.g., Knight K Truth in August 2025), and community initiatives.
The site encourages new recruits to "join the force" via galacticorder.org, with links to social media (Facebook, YouTube) and upcoming Twitch streaming.

The competitive arm, *GRM Gaming* (grmesports.com), serves as a dedicated esports ladder and tournament platform that has organized over 300 events since gaining prominence around 2021.
It offers real-time stats, analytics, progress tracking, and fair-play-focused competitions—with highlights like the GRM Gaming Championship (2023) and Summer Esports League (2022)—while reporting over 100 active players and 10+ upcoming tournaments.
