== Orders in disuse == | |||
The Colony of Calsahara currently has two orders of chivalry considered to be "in disuse." These orders are no longer being awarded, their function having been deemed obsolete with the [[Invasion of Calsahara|liberation of Calsahara]] and subsequent establishment as a colony of [[Westarctica]]. Though no longer awarded, these orders have not been abolished. As such, they are still technically considered active, meaning that their members may still wear their regalia as they would any other active order. | |||
They will remain in disuse until such time as they are abolished or revived. Barring either of those occurring, the orders will become dormant once there are no living members. The [[Legion of Peace]] was implemented on 20 November 2009 in Calsahara's founding document, the "[[Calsahara.ppt]]" which described the orders, their precedence, and the criteria for awarding. The lowest order, the [[Masters of the Universe]], was created shortly thereafter, on 14 December 2009. | |||

==Abolished Orders== | |||
On 18 October 2019, [[Grand Duke Travis]] officially abolished the Illustrious Order of Thespians, due to the fact that it had never been awarded to anyone aside from the Sovereign himself. In accordance with his status as the only living knight, the Grand Duke has authorized himself to continue wearing the regalia of the Order. | |||
