Force Pilgrim

For other uses, see Pilgrim.

A group of Human cultists dressed in red robes with golden accents, Force Pilgrims spectated the All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally on worlds such as Dantooine and Tatooine in 3626 BBY. Some pilgrims were dressed in dark red, holding a gnarled wooden staff and possessing a golden pendant, while other Force cultists wore red armor with an orange trim. Nevertheless, across the differences in attire, the pilgrims wore a helmet of the same design in addition to a plaque.

History

Force Pilgrims were a group of cultists^[3] founded by 3626 BBY,^[2] In that year, several Force Pilgrims were aboard the Galactic Republic's Carrick Station as well as the reconstituted Sith Empire's Vaiken Spacedock, viewing a HoloNet News announcement for the All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally. Two Force Pilgrims spectated the swoop racing event on the planets Dantooine and Tatooine, standing in a camp site near the starting and finishing lines as others partook in the swoop race.^[1]

Such racers included the Commander of the Eternal Alliance.^[1]

Members and attire

The pilgrims were Humans who wore gray helmets that concealed thir faces. Both males and females made up the Force cultists' ranks. The pilgrims had a uniform dark red robed-and-hooded attire with gold accents, and some amongst them held wooden staffs that featured a gray lamp that glowed a luminous yellow towards the top, the lamp being hung from an arch, one side of which circled down to the straight trunk of the wooden staff. The staff was gnarled and featured red and black and white and black stripes. The left of the hood's base, which was affixed over the upper chest of the wearer, displayed a golden plaque.^[1]

In addition, the pilgrims wore dark red shoes and gloves, the latter of which had gold markings, thus covering their entire body with garments with the exception of their necks. As part of their attire, pilgrims wore flowing leg coverings, draping, dark purple cloth extending along the arms, a black undertunic, a red overtunic with golden markings across the chest, as well as a belt that hung a golden pendant. The relief of the pendant bore an asymmetric image.^[1] The overtunic was similar to a Port Nowhere mobster's armor, and both shared the same gold markings.^[4]

However, a Force Pilgrim could also wear a similar armor attire that had a red and orange color scheme as opposed to dark red and gold. It replaced the flowing leg coverings with a dress, featured no draping cloth along the arms, lacking the torso covering that had golden markings across the chest, and without the belt showcasing the golden pendant. Instead, a gray belt with a metallic, bronze device was worn around the waist, and a pair of gray, metal gloves was worn over red bracers encircled by a golden ring.^[1]^[3]

Behind the scenes

Force Pilgrims appear in the 2020 Update 6.1 of Star Wars: The Old Republic: Onslaught, a digital expansion to the video game Star Wars: The Old Republic.^[1] They were first identified in an update released in 2021, with screenshots depicting a Force Pilgrim wielding a red-bladed lightsaber on Dantooine.^[3] The appearance of Force Pilgrims is similar to Silvanie Phest,^[5] a character of the new Star Wars canon that was introduced in the 2016 anthology film, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.^[6]
