Berserkers (Norse inspired, real world context): born during the days of the Minmatar Rebellion, the Berserkers are a group of warrior mystics originating from the Brutor & Vherokior tribes.

They enter ecstatic trance to induce violent rampages striking fear in both enemies & allies. These mystics can still be found within the Republic today as a well-armed mercenary group, but they still wear the furs over their armor & still fight in trance state.

I wanna touch on this idea specifically because it's actually pretty cool to me.

The main thing that appeals to me is the inclusion of Vherokior culture (notably what I presume to be hallucinogenic herbs) which has always been a favorite of mine. Being a mercenary group though I sort of think that maybe they should a more profound reputation that isn't -entirely- culturally derived, something like booster usage (here's a list) prior to and during battles to enhance the fighting capability. Give them an anti-hero vibe with loose ties to the Angel/Serpentis Cartel and a bit of unique flare like that; a reason to love them but also sort of hate them.

You could even mix aspects of the other suggestions you threw out to add more depth to their history, especially with a derivative Valklear lineage to these dudes as it just meshes well with the aforementioned drug use. A sort of "Criminals stay criminals, even after exoneration" approach. As though they've clashed criminal notoriety with tradition. The only other feedback I can give here is maybe come up with a more punchy name as 'Berserkers' sounds a little bland in the larger scheme of things. Make up a word if you want.

The Rejects part was never suppose to be a serious suggestion, it's just something that I thought would have been neat as an inside joke. Also the word Jaeger (in regards to a military unit) isn't exclusively German at all. It was originally Hessian in origin, with 'jaegers' acting as elite riflemen selected to offset standard military units by bolstering them with royal huntsmen and Forstleute. Jaegers typically acted semi-autonomously by acting as sharpshooters, couriers, and scouts. The program was so successful that they spread all over Europe, gaining prominence right up around the time of the Napoleonic Wars. (But Galm, so what?) I'm glad you asked. Y'see, for the longest time troops were incapable of breaching French (cough Gallente cough) sharpshooter defenses so invaded nations were forced to rely on drafted teams from line infantry to throw their lives away in a bloody and ill-fated charge if they needed to pierce the enemy lines. The Prussians, however, had the excellent idea that instead of just using conscripts as their elite strike team they'd train and refine a new Jaeger Corps to breach the frontlines in two man strike teams. Due to the success of the program mercenary teams were replaced with elite recon troops, corporal punishment became abolished entirely for Jaegers, and for the first time in European military history a soldier could increase their status based on merit rather than nobility. That screams the sort of meritocratic grit that the Caldari need right now. More importantly though, the Jaegers are just as much Finn as they are German. During World War I, Finland began a massive push to modernize their soldiers through introduction of foreign training. While Russia had long been planning to annex the country, the Germans hoped to weaken Russia by supporting Finland's independence and cultural identity. Thus the Jaeger Movement began, where thousands of officers were trained by working-class German irregulars while other officers were trained by Russian nobility. This drove a massive wedge in the country between jaeger-trained military officers and those trained by Imperial Russia. The country ultimately sided with the jaegers, which was no doubt (in addition to the guerrilla training they had received from the Germans) critical to their success in the Winter War. If you know anything about Finland's history, you know how important the Winter War was. Today the word jaeger isn't even considered so much German in European countries as much as it is synonymous with "elite light riflemen" and I don't think pigeonholing it into a strictly German practice is fair. I mean, everyone is fine with calling a suit a commando, but no one ever mentions the fact that it comes from the Afrikaans kommandos. Even then the argument of it not 'sounding right' is entirely subjective. Napanii uses loan-words all the time from the Amarr, I very much doubt they would have a problem with a 'German' word that's been a part of their culture longer than the Raata Empire. I feel like it's a constant thing, and lord knows I'm guilty of it too, that people want to rely on the crutch of Japanese culture for the Caldari without putting any thought into the equally important European side. tl;dr Jaegers are important. *Kirjuun!

Not much is known about this secret society of hooded killers. The Flaming Sword: pious warriors who are known for their ancient traditions involving the use of fire. The Flaming Sword makes their recruits engage in duel ceremonies as part of their initiation. These recruits use swords on fire to duel to the death. The Living Shrines: another band of warriors that originate from the Amarr Empire. These warrior priest operates in cells of eleven, and they brand themselves with the words of the Amarr Scriptures -- each member thus becomes a living chapter, and each cell is thus seen as a completed book. They believe their bodies to be shrines housing their God. Cult of Trium-Eidomon: these heretics follow a heretical version of Amarrian Faith in which their founder, Trium-Eidomon, is venerated as a saint. Despite their unorthodox beliefs, they are allowed to exist and operate within the Empire due to their connections to various lesser noble houses who frequently make use of the warrior cult for their own political ends.

Amarr Alukan Order (based on the Hebrew word Aluka ): only spoken of in obscure rumor and stories to frighten children, recent evidence suggests that these monstrous fanatics to be frighteningly real. Adherent to one of the many outlawed Sani Sabik sects, the recruits of the Alukan Order are largely comprised of former soldiers of the Khanid Kingdom. These bloodthirsty warriors are believed to originate from outskirts of Khanid space, and engage in terrestrial raids against distant colonies in which they abduct civilians for their blood. While they do not use immortal cloning technology, their bodies are heavily augmented through bio-engineering and cybernetics, and they are said to rival the immortal mercenaries. As a result of these modifications, they appear as grotesque corpses with their scarred flesh woven with large metallic wires, and their glowing artificial eyes strike fear into their victims. With their skeletons coated in protective carbon-polymer shells, the Alukan Order have no use for armor, and thus cary out their raids in the nude. Like many Sani Sabik faithfuls, the Alukan Order performs various religious rituals with the blood, and they believe that consuming the blood has the power to make the invincible as well as indefinitely extend their lives. To aid in quenching their blood-lust, they have adopted a terrifying augmentations involving the use of needles that extend from their jaws like teeth for blood consumption. Evidence suggests they have begun working closely with Blood Raider pirates in terrestrial raids, and some have even speculated that these groups may soon enter a permanent union.
