== 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.

The Orders of Calsahara are a series of awards (also called "honors") created to recognize exceptional achievements related to the Colony of Calsahara. Originally, only the King of Calsahara had the authority to distribute honors, but following the abdication of King Montague in 2014, both the King and the Dictator for Life were authorized as dual fonts of honor.

After the Colony of Calsahara became a client state of Westarctica, its Orders of Chivalry were absorbed into the Orders of Westarctica and now Grand Duke Travis is the font of honor for both series of awards.

On 11 March 2021, the Grand Duke issued Royal Decree RD-2021-002 abolishing the Masters of the Universe and incorporating the Order of the Desert Heart and the Legion of Peace into Westarctica's honors system.
