The Grand Order of Oberon was an order of Knights during humanity's interstellar era.

History

Origins

By one account, the Order grew out of the Guild of Adjudicators, which maintained order throughout the Earth Empire period. (PROSE: Lucifer Rising) Their name made reference to the Adjudicators during the 2150s Dalek invasion of Earth located on Oberon, a moon of Uranus, dedicated to beating back the Daleks from the solar system. (PROSE: GodEngine, GAME: Revelation of the Daleks ^[+]Loading...["Revelation of the Daleks (game)"])

Another possible origin for the Grand Order was that they were founded by Oberon Van Statten, a member of the Van Statten family. (GAME: Revelation of the Daleks ^[+]Loading...["Revelation of the Daleks (game)"])

Existence

The Guild of Adjudicators itself continued until at least the 30th century. (PROSE: Original Sin) The position of Senior Knight existed in the order. (PROSE: The Secret Lives of Monsters)

Eventually, the Order passed its prime and dwindled. One Knight of the Order, Orcini, was forced to make a living as an assassin. (TV: Revelation of the Daleks) Nevertheless, he continued to follow its rules. (PROSE: The Secret Lives of Monsters) Knowing he would die within minutes after setting off a bomb to try to kill Davros, Orcini gave his medal from the Order to the Sixth Doctor and asked him to return it to them. (TV: Revelation of the Daleks) Though he was no longer part of the order at the time of his death, having been temporarily excommunicated, his order was saddened by his death and viewed his attempt to kill Davros as a noble mission. His name was added to the Roll of the Glorious Dead, which was based in the Great Hall of Oberon, in line with tradition. As Orcini had destroyed Davros' Imperial Dalek army, Supreme Master Talcadian stated that the people of the universe had not owed one member their order as much since the time of Abslom Daak. (PROSE: The Secret Lives of Monsters)

According to another account, however, the Seventh Doctor said, searching through Orcini's time, he never found any trace left of the Order. (PROSE: Lucifer Rising)
