The m'Yalfor'ac Order represented a military faction of the Bitthævrian people. They exerted control over areas within Guiteica, utilizing the Guiteica Militia as a tool to enforce their dominance across the world. This Order held strong opposition to both Force-sensitive individuals and the Bothan species, aiming to completely eliminate both groups.
The base of operations for the M'Yalfor'ac Order was situated on the Guiteican continent known as l'Quart'a. Leadership was provided by Colonel Quaal Tavier Catharius alongside four subordinates. These included two officers from the Guiteica Militia, an Adnerem mercenary, and Tarlo Ganar, who served as a Khil tactician and naval commander. Beyond these key figures, the m'Yalfor'ac Order's membership consisted almost entirely of Bitthævrians. They at times, comprised over 80% of the Guiteica Militia's total forces.
Their primary objective involved the eradication of Force-sensitives and Bothans. The Bothans were particularly despised due to their avoidance of direct conflict, a cultural characteristic that the Bitthævrians found incomprehensible and unacceptable. They also harbored animosity towards the Galactic Republic, and consequently, attacked the Rebel Alliance because of their shared values and the Alliance's goal of reinstating the hated Republic.
Approximately fifty years prior to the Battle of Yavin, the Galactic Republic intensified its presence within the Kadok Regions. This expansion was viewed as intolerable by the Bitthævrians native to Kadok, leading to a rebellion where they deployed their military as an offensive force. Seeking the Order's downfall, the Galactic Republic manipulated the Kaleesh species into believing that the Bitthævrians posed a genuine threat to Kalee, thereby securing Kaleesh assistance against them.
The M'Yalfor'ac Order claimed to have defeated multiple Jedi Knights shortly before the rise of the Galactic Empire, but the truth was that they were nearly annihilated by a Kaleesh military force under the command of the Jedi. Although the m'Yalfor'ac Order was severely weakened, it was eventually rebuilt.
With the establishment of the New Order across the galaxy, the m'Yalfor'ac Order displayed less resistance towards the Empire, considering any alternative government preferable to the Old Republic.
By the time of the Galactic Civil War, the Order had amassed a force exceeding 700,000 troops, characterized by their fanatical loyalty. They also possessed a substantial collection of outdated military equipment, including obsolete snubfighters like C-73 Trackers, Toscan 8-Q Fighters, and Z-95 Headhunters. Their ground vehicles were similarly outdated, consisting of internal combustion treaded tanks, AT-PT Walkers, and security Espo Walkers, the latter rumored to have been stolen from a CSA light freighter passing through the Kadok Regions on its way to the Corporate Sector.
When Vulca Minerals attempted yttrium mining operations in Guiteica, the aggressive behavior of Vulca's officers provoked a more hostile response from the m'Yalfor'ac Order. This crisis was observed by Vulca officer Ayla Shar, who later became a Rebel lieutenant. Following this incident, Kadok Resources, an operation controlled by Bitthævrians, assumed control over all of Guiteica's exports.
