When one of Institute's student [[Tucker Harwell]], younger brother of Blessed Order member and First Division officer [[Patricia Harwell]], devised a viable means of restarting an HPG, Buhl dispatched him to test his theories on the HPG on [[Wyatt]]. Delighted when Tucker succeeded and recognizing the importance of what Harwell's success could mean for ComStar, and more importantly the Blessed Order, Buhl made the fateful decision to send Patrica and the First to extract him the Blessed Order's secret Omega One base on [[Luyten 68-28]].<ref name=ER3145-84/> <ref name=ER3145-116>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 117 "Major Personas - ComStar - Malcolm Buhl"</ref> <ref name=FM3145-135>''Field Manual: 3145'', pp. 135-136 "Republic of the Sphere - General Review - Behind the Wall"</ref> While considering the public revelation of the re-formed Com Guards worth the price to acquire Tucker for the Blessed Order, Buhl was unprepared for the Republic of the Sphere's response, with undercover [[Knight of the Sphere]] [[Alexi Holt]] successfully piercing the Blessed Order's security and infiltrating Omega One. A surprise strike by [[Republic Armed Forces]] troops in September [[3140]] rescued Tucker and Holt, but the bulk of the Blessed Order and First Division was able to evacuate, fleeing to a secret base on [[Epsilon Eridani]]. Cornered by the RAF, the Blessed Order were ultimately crushed by the Republic of the Sphere with all of ComStar within the [[Fortress Republic]] paying the price, forcibly integrated into the Republic.<ref name=FM3145-135/> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== *''[[Era Report: 3145]]'' *''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' [[Category:Religious Organizations|Blessed Order]]
