| - The Savant Caste was one of the three main castes of Charon society, alongside the Zealot Caste and the Thrall Caste. Unique from the other castes, the Savant Caste was entirely made up of the Voidborn of the Charon Dominion and served as the leadership branch of the Charon in both foreign and domestic matters, including military and evangelical endeavors. Sometimes refereed to as the master caste or priestly caste, the Savants were the most feared members of the Charon Dominion during both the Oblivion Crusades and the Extant War, and were specifically dreaded by the Sith Lords and Jedi Knights alike. Among the Charon, the Savant Caste served as the equivalent of nobles in an aristocratic society, especially those with precognitive visionary abilities. The Savants made up the smallest caste of the Charon Dominion, although was also considered by the Dominion to have been the most pristine with regards to their semi-mythological First Prophet. Believed to have been ushered into existence by the will of the Void itself, all Voidborn were required be counted among the Savants, regardless of age, ability or species. Nonetheless, some species of the Charon were treated with greater regard than others, which was influenced by the ratio of Voidborn the species produced. As Humans made up the vast bulk of the Voidborn of Otherspace, Humans were considered to have the dominant species of the Charon, and because few sapient species aside from Humans produced Voidborn, the Savant Caste possessed the least amount of diversity. The Savants were believed to have the potential ability to commune with the Void, either consciously or subconsciously, and direct the Charon people toward their ultimate goal of the galactic absence of all life, as outlined in the religious creeds of the Void of Oblivion. The Savant Caste was led by the Prophet of the Void, who was also the leader of all Charon society within both the First and Second Dominions. For all practical purposes however, the Oracle was considered to be the acting head of all Savants. The Caste itself was governed by the Ring of Arch-Savants, the collected coven of the wisest and most powerful Savants within the Dominion. Although a single group, the members of the Caste served different purposes, depending on their training, abilities and proficiencies. It was worth noting that most Savants, similar to many of the Zealot Caste, ceremonially and formally attired themselves in white garb, representative to them as constant reminder and visible icon of the purity of themselves and their purpose.
