The Oris Triad was formed to protect the planet of Oris and the government’s other member worlds from the Laro Empire and the Rolani Dominion. Three of the most respected and intelligent Orisians were chosen among the population of Oris to lead their people through the Laro Civil War. The number three was decided upon to keep one individual from having too much power, and to break the tie if two people had a difference of opinion. These three individuals became known as the Triad.
