Legend

this was term given to those Corellian disciples of a social system in which sociopolitical affiliations were maintained with almost fanatical devotion. The enster faction was in direct opposition to the ekster - or outsider - faction, which basically included any being who was simply not enster. Among the beliefs of the enster faction was that no marriage could be made, let alone consummated, with a being from outside one's own native planetary system. Enster extremists maintained that all marriages had to take place solely among inhabitants of a single planet, with no exceptions allowed. This was not to say that trysts and liaisons with eksters were prohibited, as many ensters often "sowed their wild oats" with an ekster partner. However, on Corellia, ensters were only allowed to marry other ensters.
