Jedi Order (Jedi Renaissance)

The Jedi Order was an ancient monastic peacekeeping organization unified by its belief and observance of the Force. The Jedi were the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, serving both the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Led by a series of administrative Councils, the Order grew over the millennia despite facing many trials, most often threats from the Sith Empire, wielders of the dark side of the Force.

During several Great Schisms dissident Jedi broke away from the Order, leading to several wars including the, after which the fallen Jedi fled, and founded the Sith Empire. The Sith were eventually found by the Republic and their discovery led to the and a Sith. The Jedi on Coruscant, led by Jedi Guardian and Jedi Grand Master Memit Nadill, successfully defended the planet and defeated the Sith. Their dark side brethren wouldn't stay defeated for long, however, and during the next several thousand years many wars would be fought. A millennium after the, the s saw their chance and the weakened Republic. After the war the Jedi that had led the Republic's military, and, disappeared. When they returned it became clear they had turned to the dark side, and during the many Jedi died. During the the Order was left numbering less than one-hundred Jedi, until it was rebuilt by  and the remaining active Jedi. Over a millennium later, the galaxy was again engulfed in a between the Republic and the Sith. Led by Lord, the Jedi were able to regroup and push back the Sith, who eventually withdrew to the planet. After seven long battles on Ruusan, the Sith were defeated and presumed wiped out. managed to survive and reorganize the defeated. Though Darth Bane and the Sith Lords that followed in his footsteps remained hidden; they were patient. Millennia later they revealed themselves, determined to have their revenge.

At the height of a separatist crisis, the Republic was split in two and a war once again engulfed the galaxy. During the Clone Wars, the Republic's armies were once again led by the Jedi. During the war's first battle, nearly two hundred Jedi died before Grand Master Yoda and a clone army arrived to assist them. However, nobody expected that the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic was, in fact, a Sith Lord. The Jedi eventually learned the truth, striking down the Sith in a vicious fight for survival. Reinvigorated from their near destruction, the Order entered into a decades long renaissance which sparked a Golden Age of expansion, growth and a deeper understanding of the Force.

Tython and the Force Wars
Birthed in the turmoil of a Force storm the Jedi Order's ancient forerunners, the Je'daii, came into existence on the lush planet Tython in the Deep Core. The galaxy's wisest philosophers, priests, scientists, and warriors were brought to Tython circa 36,463 BBY by mysterious, pyramidal ships called to discuss their discoveries involving the enigmatic and mystical energy known as the Force. These people, known as Tythans, eventually came to identify as the Je'daii Order, a group of Force-sensitives determined to keep an internal Balance between the light side, or Ashla and the dark side, called Bogan. For millennia the Je'daii Order flourished on Tython, erecting great temples and monuments to the Force and remaining ever vigilant to the lures of both the light and the dark. Ultimately around 25,793 BBY a conflict arose between the Je'daii and the extrasystem army of the Infinite Empire. Known as the, the conflict was waged over the course of a decade and took a terrible toll on the planet, sending Tython out of Balance and destroying the ecosystem. In the end the Je'daii were fractured, waging an internal war before the followers of the light abandoned the plant and forswore the Je'daii teachings of Balance in favor of the light side of the Force. This splinter group began calling themselves Jedi and formed a Council of their wisest Masters. Believing that they were given command over the Force in order to assist those in need, the Jedi wished to defeat those who used the dark side and vanquish all evil doers. Finding transport out of the Tython system for the first time since they were brought to Tython millennia prior, the Jedi headed for the Outer Rim of the galaxy.

Early interactions with the Republic
"You must remember that there are over a hundred thousand inhabited worlds in the Republic, and there are now only a few thousand of us. Billions of beings have never seen a Jedi. Millions have never even heard of our Order. Or of the Force. When we do appear, we can be killers, but also healers. Thank the Force for that."

- Master Obi-Wan Kenobi to Padawan Anakin Skywalker

Traveling between the stars, the fledgling Jedi Order fled the Deep Core in favor of Wild Space, a wide swath of the galaxy which had yet to be explored. Discovering a verdant planet much like Tython had once been, the Jedi colonized the world and named it Ossus. Founding a new academy on the world the Jedi Order remained in seclusion on Ossus, devoting their time to the study of the Ashla and warning against the evils of Bogan. Having purposely distanced themselves from the newly-formed Galactic Republic, the Jedi Order welcomed members of other Force traditions to Ossus, merging their philosophies and assimilating many other groups into their fold. Carrying over traditions from the old Je'daii Forge, the Great Temple of Vur Tepe, the Jedi continued to craft durasteel blades as part of initiation ceremonies and imbue them with the Force. While these Force-imbued blades were the primary weapon of choice, the Jedi continued to work in secret to enhance the usability of a new weapon called the lightsaber. Building off of the Rakatan weapon called the Forcesaber, the Jedi hoped that through the study of the weapon they would be able to reproduce it without Rakatan technology. By 24,953 BBY the Jedi agreed to join the Republic, remaining isolated on Ossus but supporting the Republic's goal of galactic peace.

As the Order welcomed others to Ossus, the leaders of the Jedi began to be influenced by other thinkers who had been involved in galactic affairs much longer than they had. The most prominent influence was a group of Caamasi who preached the principles of justice laid forth by ; these teachings would lay the framework for the Jedi Order's view of galactic justice and their role as peacekeepers. At the same time, the Jedi High Council began to assert its authority over the members of the Order, limiting individuality and crafting several exclusionary regulations. Around this time a Kashi Mer exile named Xendor gained a large following on Ossus, taking counsel from a Steel Hand of Palawa named Arden Lyn and eventually breaking peacefully from the Order to found his own academy on Lettow. As the Order witnessed a surge in renunciates following Xendor, the High Council deemed the so called a heretical group which strayed dangerously close to studies of the Bogan and the outflow of students was deemed the. Pushing Xendor and his band of schismatics into open conflict, the Jedi Order quickly formed an army with which to crush the Legions of Lettow. Xendor attacked first, landing ships on Ossus before being repelled and driven into the core. Xendor attempted to spread propaganda about the Jedi throughout the Republic as the war broke out, warning against the Jedi and their guise as peacekeepers. The Republic saw through Xendor's attempts to discredit the strange monks from Ossus and so began aiding the Jedi in the war effort. As conflict erupted on Chandrila, Brentaal, Metellos and Coruscant itself, the war dragged on and on. Finally, Jedi Master managed to confront Xendor at the battle of Columus and slay the leader of the Legions. In the following months, the rest of the Legions of Lettow were routed and the Great Schism finally ended.

Despite their brief allegiance with the Republic during the Great Schism, the Order was seldom thought of in the greater galaxy since their abandonment of Tython. Because of this the Order's warnings of impending war went unheeded by the Republic government until the Tionese were on their doorstep. As the Tionese War erupted across the Perlemian Trade Route, the Order's attempts to divide Tionese allegiances were abandoned and the Jedi withdrew again to Ossus to avoid involvement in the war. From their ancient fortress world, the Jedi contemplated the war, struggling to see how they fit into the galactic crisis at hand. After a long internal debate, the Jedi High Council declared for the Republic and entered into service as commanders in the Republic Army to crush the Tionese threat. As the war was all but won, the Republic sterilized the planet Desevro in an event which horrified the Order. Meeting above the ruined world, the Jedi struck a deal with the Republic that, while they could not serve the government, they would establish a network of Watchmen to protect the Perlemian from the Tionese and Hutts from a series of fortress worlds including Ossus, Falang Minor, and Haashimut. When the war with the Tionese had been resolved, the Republic decided to disband its military and rely on sector- and system-based defense fleets, earning back the trust and allegiance of the Jedi Order.

The beginning of the Sith
In 11,987 BBY Republic Chancellor Pers'lya was assassinated and replaced by Chancellor Contispex I, a member of the Pius Dea faith. During his reign, the fanatical Chancellor began a series of crusades which would come in the form of war, purges, and genocide. Officially known as the Recusal, the Jedi Order declared itself independent from the Republic in 11,933 BBY and completely withdrew back to Ossus. Throughout the next millennium, the Jedi Order fought an internal struggle regarding the correct response to the insanity of the Contispex dynasty and the Pius Dea rule it had established. While the majority of the Order refused to fight against the very government it had protected for millennia, some Jedi served as Knights errant, taking the fight to the cultists without the permission of the High Council. Others declared for the Pius Dea, forming a splinter group called the Order of the Terrible Glare. It wasn't until the 11,100s BBY that the Order was approached by the Caamasi and were finally convinced to end their period of isolationism and intervene. The Jedi High Council joined with the in seeding the cathedral ships of the Pius Dea with a crippling virus, and plotting to arrest the current Chancellor. In a stunning move, a Jedi strike team boarded Chancellor Contispex XIX's flagship, the  and arrested him on war crime charges. In accordance to the terms set forth by the Jedi Order at the start of their involvement, the Jedi High Council suspended the Galactic Senate and placed Grand Master Biel Ductavis in the position of Supreme Chancellor.

A few generations later, the Jedi Order had returned to their peaceful ways on Ossus upon seeing the Republic make a full recovery from the Pius Dea Era. However in 7,000 BBY the Jedi suffered a Second Great Schism, resulting in a time known to history as the Hundred-Year Darkness. The schism stemmed from the Order's reaction to a group of heretical Jedi experimenting with forbidden alchemy. The monstrosities which arose were deemed abominations to the Force by the High Council and war was begun to end the practice of these dark arts. By this time the Order had managed to develop the lightsaber in a way in which it was useful in hand-to-hand combat. Used before as a siege weapon due to its massive power pack, the Order's scientists were able to create a transportable power pack which could be worn on the belt of the user. Crossing blades with the heretics, the Jedi Order finally saw the end of the conflict with the victory at the battle of Corbos in 6,900 BBY. There the Jedi Order arrested the twelve surviving Dark Jedi, led by High General Ajunta Pall, and banished them to Wild Space. Unknown to the Jedi, these Exiles would land on the planet Korriban, homeworld of the Sith species, and conquer the natives, deeming themselves the Dark Lords of the Sith. Shortly after settling on Korriban, a splinter group of exiles, led by Remulus Dreypa, returned to Republic space to enact vengeance, but were intercepted by a Jedi patrol. The Jedi pursued those Sith across the galaxy, until both factions crash-landed on the planet Kesh. After a period of fighting, the two factions made peace and formed a new organization called the Doomed, striving to achieve balance between the light and the dark sides of the force. Meanwhile, the Korriban Sith would eventually move their headquarters to Ziost where they would form the massive Sith Empire, an Order of dark side warriors who would dream of crushing their Jedi oppressors.

The Great Hyperspace War and aftermath
"The Republic has grown and expanded for many generations, encountering no worse than a few interplanetary squabbles and civil wars&hellip;but if we should confront the fabled Sith Empire, we will experience a war so great, so devastating&hellip;it can cross the fabric of hyperspace, a conflagration spanning the Galaxy&hellip;"

- Master

In 5,000 BBY an attack on the Koros system by the Sith Empire introduced the Republic and the Jedi Order to the Sith and sparked the beginning of the Great Hyperspace War. The battle began shortly after a Jedi Knight named Odan-Urr had a nightmarish vision of the death of Sith Lord Marka Ragnos, and the war against the Republic that it would cause. He traveled to Coruscant with Jedi Master Memit Nadill and Teta, the empress of Koros, to voice his concerns in front of the Galactic Senate, though they did not take him seriously, and took no action. Returning to Koros, Jedi Nadill, Odan-Urr and Urr's master Ooroo were present when a young convict named Jori Daragon burst into Teta's chambers, telling the Jedi that she had seen the great Sith Empire, and that they were on their way to attack the Republic. Nadill learned as much as he could about the Sith Empire, then traveled to Coruscant to rally the support of the Jedi Knights.[18] The newly christened Dark Lord of the Sith, Naga Sadow, deployed his fleets to invade numerous Republic worlds simultaneously while he left his eye-shaped Sith Meditation Sphere near Primus Goluud and used Sith magic to create thousands of illusory soldiers, which made the Sith army seem far larger than it actually was. The Jedi Order played a huge role in the defense of Coruscant, with Memit Nadill leading a team of Jedi Knights, including Tuknatan and Sonam-Ha'ar. Meanwhile, another battle was raging on the planet of Kirrek, where Jedi Master Ooroo and his apprentice Odan-Urr were stationed. However, when Naga Sadow's concentration was broken, the illusory Sith forces disappeared and the Republic's forces' morale was bolstered. On Coruscant, the Jedi realized what had happened and launched a massive counterattack, easily defeating the Sith. The Republic also emerged victorious on Kirrek, however only at the expense of the death of Master Ooroo, who sacrificed his life in defeating a large force of Massassi warriors. With the Sith forces routed, Supreme Chancellor Pultimo ordered the sacking of Sith Space, liberating the Sith from the Dark Lords and ultimately dissolving the Empire.

In 4,400 BBY, the ambitious Padawan Freedon Nadd was denied Knighthood by his Jedi Masters. In an attempt to find out why this had happened, Nadd went to Jedi Master Matta Tremayne, who challenged him to prove to her that he was indeed a Jedi Knight. Nadd saw this as a threat and decided to attack and kill Tremayne. Furious at the Jedi Masters for making him kill his teacher, Nadd went looking for the Sith, because he felt that they were the only ones who would readily accept his apprenticeship and teach him about the Force. During his travels, Nadd discovered the Sith Lord Naga Sadow who was serving out his exile on Yavin 4. Awakening from his status chamber, Sadow trained Freedon Nadd in the ways of the dark side only to be killed by Nadd when his training was complete. Following Sadow's death, Nadd abandoned Yavin 4 in favor of Onderon, located outside Republic space, with hopes of rebuilding a stronger Sith Empire. After Freedon Nadd had made himself the leader of the capital city of Iziz, the Sith Lord began to exile all criminals from the city; some of whom managed to survive in the deadly jungles surrounding the city and organize into a tribe of hunter-gatherers. The world of Onderon suffered through the legacy of Nadd even after his death as a cult devoted to his memory, known as the Naddists, wreaked havoc on the people of the planet. When Jedi Master Arca Jeth attempted to move Freedon Nadd's remains to Onderon's moon Dxun the Naddists, led by Onderonian King Ommin, attacked and managed to capture Nadd's remains as well as Jeth himself. Ommin then fled to the city of Iziz. The Republic's army converged on the planet and attacked Iziz, but was too strong and devastated the city. After the battle, Freedon Nadd's remains were taken to Dxun and sealed in an armored tomb.

In 4,250 BBY the Jedi experienced a third Great Schism on Coruscant following Nadd's death. After a brief civil war on Coruscant, the surviving group of Dark Jedi retreated to the Vultar system, where they discovered that the planets of the system were artificial. The Dark Jedi could not control the huge Cosmic Turbine that powered the system and quickly annihilated themselves and the entire system.

The Great Sith War
"Exar was a Jedi who was corrupted by ghosts of the old Sith, or so they say. He attempted to conquer the Republic and create a new Golden Age of the Sith."

- Jolee Bindo

Over the generations, Ossus had continued to thrive as a Jedi fortress world, holding many treasures and knowledge in Odan-Urr's massive archives known as the Great Jedi Library. The Jedi High Council began to take a more active role in the operations of the Order, and Four Masters oversaw the construction of a massive Temple on Coruscant to house members of the Order responsible for working directly with Republic representatives. At the height of Ossus' heyday in 3,996 BBY, the talented and curious Jedi Exar Kun, having learned about the Golden Age of the Sith, traveled from Ossus to Dxun where he found the tomb of Freedon Nadd. The spirit of Nadd corrupted Kun and the young Jedi surrendered to the dark side of the Force. After first traveling to Korriban, Kun then went to Yavin's fourth moon and took over Naga Sadow's ancient fortresses, enslaving the Massassi race to further his ambitious plans. Destroying Nadd's spirit for the last time, Exar Kun staked his claim as the true heir to the ancient Sith legacy, which was thought to have been destroyed. When word of this unsettling turn of events reached the Jedi High Council, a conclave was called on Deneba to discuss the growing foothold of the Sith. During the conclave, the secret dark side society called the Krath attacked the Jedi with war droids. Led by Aleema and Satal Keto, the Krath were able to kill the legendary Master Arca Jeth, who died while saving his student Ulic Qel-Droma's life. When the Krath were repelled, the Jedi regrouped and returned to Ossus.

Seeking retribution for his masters death Qel'Droma planned an unsanctioned mission to infiltrate the Krath in an attempt to destroy them from within. The Krath, suspecting he was a spy, injected him with a Sith poison and eventually Qel'Droma fell to the dark side and became a Krath general. Concurrently Sith acolyte Exar Kun traveled to Cinnagar to find and destroy Ulic Qel-Droma. However, their duel was interrupted by the spirit of Marka Ragnos, who commanded them to stop fighting each other and form an alliance, declaring them Dark Lords of the Sith. United, the Dark Lords waged war on the Republic, luring young Jedi from Ossus and subverting them to the dark side while in a stunning move, Exar Kun raided the Great Jedi Library and stole the Dark Holocron after murdering the legendary Master Odan-Urr. Elsewhere, Qel-Droma defeated Mandalore the Indomitable, the leader of the Mandalorians, and with their leader defeated the Mandalorian Crusaders agreed to join the Sith.

Qel-Droma's Krath and Mandalorian forces laid siege to Coruscant in an all out attack at the heart of the Republic. Jedi forces on the capital were few as their temple remained as just a small hermitage but infighting between Qel-Droma and Aleema Keto allowed for the Republic to score a victory through the capture of Qel-Droma and the retreat of his forces. In the custody of the Republic, Qel-Droma was tried before the Galactic Senate on Coruscant for war crimes. During the hearing, Dark Lord Exar Kun walked into the Senate Hall and executed the Chancellor before a shocked audience and later struck down the wise Master Vodo-Siosk Baas. Freeing Qel-Droma, Kun contacted his acolytes within the Jedi Order to assassinate their former Masters in a successful pogrom which left many Jedi dead. At the culmination of their attack on the Order, the Sith Lords made the suns of the Cron Cluster go supernova using Naga Sadow's Sith flagship, which they had discovered on Yavin 4; the exploding stars sent a devastating shock wave through space directly towards Ossus. Aware of their impending doom, the Jedi desperately tried to save as many of the artifacts stored on the world while a mass evacuation took place. In a stunning move, Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma arrived on Ossus as the Jedi scattered in an effort to loot the Great Jedi Library. In the upper levels, Master Ood Bnar buried several priceless artifacts just before the Sith arrived. As the Sith attempted to strike him down, Bnar called on the Force to transform his body into that of a tree, a technique which came natural to the Neti. Meanwhile Qel-Droma dueled his brother Cay and killed him in his anger. When confronted with the finality of his actions, Qel-Droma's will was shattered and was then cut off from the Force by the Jedi Nomi Sunrider. A broken shell, Qel-Droma surrendered to the Republic and was escorted off of Ossus as it was swept clean by the supernova's shock wave.

With Qel-Droma in the hands of the Jedi Order, Exar Kun knew that his secret forces on Yavin 4 were in peril. To prevent his ultimate defeat, Kun committed a ritual which took the life from every Massassi on the planet to separate his spirit from his body and bind it to his temple. When Jedi forces arrived on the planet they unleashed a Force-assault on the world, trapping Kun's spirit within his temple indefinitely. With both Sith Lords defeated and the Mandalorian Crusaders defeated on Onderon, the Jedi Order had finally brought an end to the Great Sith War. With many great Masters dead and the fortress world of Ossus uninhabitable, Master Nomi Sunrider called a conclave on Exis Station to formally address the Order and begin the healing process. With the entire Order in attendance, Sunrider accepted the leadership role within the Order and set to rebuild the High Council. Additionally, the headquarters of the Jedi was to be relocated to Coruscant, with major expansions on the existing enclave there to accommodate the entire Order. Relics and texts which had been stored at Exis Station after the destruction of Ossus would be transported to Coruscant as a new Jedi Archives was compiled within the Temple. In addition to her work in rebuilding the Order, Master Sunrider ordered the creation of an underground city on the planet Yavin 4 to aide the recovery of the planet's ecology as well as to ensure that Kun's spirit never returned again.

The Mandalorian Wars
"It was not your ships or your men or your vaunted 'fight for freedom' that won this, the final battle of the war. It was by the actions of one person&mdash;the Jedi Revan&mdash;that you prevailed. Revan's strategies and tactics defeated the best of us. Even Mandalore himself was taken aback by the ferocity of his attacks, the tenacity of his defenses, and the subtlety of his plans. Revan fought us to a standstill and then began pushing us back. We didn't really have a chance."

- Canderous Ordo

As the Order settled in on Coruscant, the renowned Jedi Seer Krynda Draay saw it as her duty to prevent another war like the one that had just plagued the galaxy and taken so many lives, including that of her husband, Barrison Draay. Resigning from the Order and holing herself away within her late husband's massive Galactic City Estate, Draay began the length process of training an army of Seers without the knowledge of the High Council. As the Order grew complacent in the eyes of Draay, the respected Master created the Covenant, a shadowy organization devoted to spotting and dealing with any shatterpoints that could cause the Sith to emerge again. With her own son, Lucien Draay, as head of the First WatchCircle, Draay and her faithful retainer Haazen guided their movements on Taris as they sought a dangerous weapon of the Sith called the Muur Talisman.

The events of the Mandalorian Wars would begin the decline of the Jedi Order. They coincided with a vision seen by four Jedi Masters—the Consular members of the First WatchCircle of the Draay's Covenant—who saw visions of chaos in the Jedi Order and the Republic as well as signs that the responsible party could be one of their Padawans. The Masters decided to strike, but only succeeded in murdering four of their own Padawans who were near Knighthood. Their actions also caused massive civil disorder on Taris—which later made the planet easy prey for the Mandalorians—alienated Padawan Zayne Carrick from the Order, and inadvertently dissolved even their own group, being split up by the High Council and assigned to different postings around the galaxy. As each of the WatchCircle members began to die through mysterious circumstance which resembled their vision of impending doom, one of their number, Master Xamar, revealed the truth of the Covenant to the High Council and confessed his crime. As the High Council moved to secure the Draay Estate, it became clear that the venerated Master Krynda Draay was no longer in command; Haazen, her retainer and secret Sith Acolyte, had taken over and descended into madness. Sending members of the Covenant against the Jedi Temple and hijacking ships from the Republic Navy, Haazen ultimately and inadvertently destroyed the estate and himself through an orbital bombardment.

The Mandalorians, led by Mandalore the Ultimate, began to conquer planets that were left defenseless after the Sith War. By adding the weapons and technology of their victims to their own the Mandalorians soon built a large army, and their territory grew fast. The Republic's efforts to stop the Mandalorians were ineffective, and soon Mandalore took advantage of this weakness by directly attacking Republic space. The Jedi High Council refused to help the Republic, believing that caution was necessary and unwilling to bloody their hands after the last war. The Council's decision set poorly with many young Jedi who, under the leadership of Jedi Knight Revan and his friend Alek, openly defied the Council and leading the Republic's forces in battle. Revan used Mandalorian tactics against his enemies: he was willing to sacrifice one planet if it meant securing victory at a more important one. Under the leadership of Revan and Alek the Republic liberated many planets, and the final battle of the war was fought at Malachor V.

During the battle, Revan killed Mandalore in hand-to-hand combat and obliterated the remaining Mandalorian forces. The war with the Mandalorians was over. The Mandalorians had been defeated by a worthy opponent, and destroyed their armor and weapons as a sign of respect. While the Republic failed Revan and Alek, who went by the name Malak, as heroes the High Council was deeply enraged. Ordering all so called Revanchists back to the Coruscant Temple for judgement, the High Council's summons were only respected by General Meetra Surik. Appearing before the Council to await judgement, the Council stripped Surik of her titles and banished her for her role in the destruction of Malachor V. In addition, Jedi Master Kreia, Revan's former mentor, was exiled as the Council felt her 'gray' stance on the Force had led her students, most notably Revan, down the path of the dark side.

The Jedi Civil War
"The reason the Jedi Civil War was named such was because few in the galaxy can recognize the difference between the Sith and the Jedi. To them, they are both Jedi&mdash;with different philosophies."

- Mical

At the close of the Mandalorian Wars, the Jedi Revan and Malak mysteriously disappeared into the Unknown Regions, supposedly pursuing the last remnants of the Mandalorian fleet. Unknown to the Order or the High Council, the two Jedi had traced clues to the planet Dromund Kaas where they discovered that the Sith Empire lived on in secret and was ruled by the mysterious and incredibly powerful Sith Emperor. Unable to stop him, the Emperor reprogrammed the Jedi and sent them back to the Republic as the Sith Lords Darth Revan and Darth Malak. Returning to the Republic with their loyal followers in tow, the newly christened Sith Lords began to wage a second war, preying on a Republic already weakened by the Mandalorians and taking full advantage of the immense number of Jedi who were still willing to follow the pair.[6] DarthRevan DarthMalak EGF The Dark Lords of the Sith, Malak and Revan. This Jedi Civil War pitted masters against students, fathers against sons, and friends against best friends, making it one of the most emotionally powerful wars in galactic history. While the early stages of the war were indecisive, it soon became apparent that Revan's Sith armada was growing at a steady rate, and in a short time the Republic was overwhelmed with the seemingly limitless forces of the enemy. World after world fell to Revan's vast fleets and masterful strategies. Determined not to make the same mistakes they had in the Mandalorian Wars, the High Council devised a plan to eliminate the enemy at its source: Revan. During one fateful battle a small Jedi strike team led by Bastila Shan, a young Jedi Padawan with the remarkable gift of battle meditation, infiltrated Darth Revan's command ship to capture the Dark Lord. During the confrontation, Darth Malak, who was stationed aboard a different ship, realized that Revan could be easily defeated and that he could then assume the title of Dark Lord of the Sith, fired upon his own master's vessel in the hope of killing both Revan and the Jedi fighting him. The Jedi managed to escape with Revan's body, but Malak had achieved a crucial victory, for he was now the Dark Lord of the Sith and commander of the entire Sith armada.

Malak continued to wage war against the Republic, relying exclusively on brute force as opposed to subtle strategies. Following the Sith tradition, he took an apprentice of his own: former Jedi Darth Bandon. As the situation for the Republic and the Jedi became more desperate, they began to rely more and more on the battle meditation of Bastila Shan to gain an advantage over the ever-growing Sith Empire. Consequently, Darth Malak began to target Jedi Shan specifically, hoping to crush the Republic's last chance of standing against his armies. During one battle in orbit above the world of Taris, Jedi Shan's vessel, the Endar Spire, was crippled beyond recovery, and the young Jedi was forced to evacuate to the planet below. As fate would have it, two other survivors eventually caught up with Jedi Shan on Taris: Carth Onasi, a decorated soldier and war hero of the Republic, and another lowly officer who Shan recently had transferred to her command. The key to the rest of the war, however, lay in the identity of this single, seemingly insignificant foot soldier.

Onasi and Shan continued to gain more companions, managed to escape the destruction of Taris, and fled to Dantooine's secret Jedi Enclave, where their third companion was inducted into the Order and they discovered the existence of the Star Forge. The Jedi Council commissioned their small band to seek out Star Maps from various planets in order to discover the location of the Star Forge, which they believed was the key to Malak's power. During their quest, the group encountered and defeated many Sith minions, including Darth Bandon. The biggest interruption to their mission was the groups capture by one of the Sith fleet's command ships. After a frantic escape attempt, Onasi, Shan, and the new Jedi Padawan encountered Darth Malak himself. This confrontation revealed a startling truth: that Darth Revan had not been killed, but had instead been rendered comatose by Malak's attack and saved by the Jedi, specifically Shan. The Jedi Council had inserted over his destroyed mind a new identity, that of a lowly officer who was now a Jedi Padawan. Darth Revan had been traveling with Shan and Onasi the entire time.

Upon escaping Malak and realizing his true identity, Revan was determined to complete his mission and destroy his old apprentice. Eventually, he and his companions discovered the location of the Star Forge and launched an attack in collaboration with the Republic against it. Revan managed to infiltrate the giant factory, which was the source of the Sith's limitless armada, and defeated his old apprentice Malak once and for all. Despite the victory over Malak and the apparent defeat of the Sith, the High Council and the Order in general kept Revan and his wife, Bastila Shan, at a distance. Regarded as outsiders, Revan and Shan remained outside of the walls of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant while an increasingly strained relationship with the Order wore on them. Revan, suffering from crippling Force visions, eventually left for the Unknown Regions in search of answers.

First Jedi Purge and aftermath
The Jedi Civil War took a huge toll on the Jedi and the Republic, leaving them incredibly vulnerable to attack. In the wake of the war, the High Council called a conclave on the planet Katarr to regroup and refocus the Order. It was at this conclave that Darth Nihilus, a member of the Sith Triumvirate, attacked the world and wiped all life from the planet's surface. The attack on the conclave would see the near-destruction and death of the Order, with all but a hundred individual Jedi surviving throughout the galaxy. Immediately after, Triumvir Darth Sion committed his legions of Sith assassins to hunting down the surviving Jedi in the first Jedi Purge. Realizing that the threat was greater when Jedi gathered in numbers, the surviving members of the High Council disbanded the Order, with the remaining Jedi Masters going into hiding on planets across the galaxy in the hopes that this would allow them to discover the true origins of the new Sith threat without endangering everyone around them. The Jedi Temple on Coruscant was completely abandoned, and the badly damaged Jedi Enclave on Dantooine was left nothing but a hollow shell.

A former Jedi, Meetra Surik, also known as the Jedi Exile who had been cut off from the Force and exiled by the High Council years earlier, sought out the remaining Councilors who were in hiding, in an attempt to form a group to defeat the threat of the Sith Triumvirate, who were threatening to annihilate the Jedi completely. As she traveled the galaxy in search of the hidden Jedi, Surik trained several of her companions in the ways of the Force. She found Vrook Lamar on Dantooine, Zez-Kai Ell on Nar Shaddaa and Kavar on Onderon. The three former Councilors then met with Surik once again in the rebuilt Jedi Enclave on Dantooine. They decided to once again exile her, as well as sever her completely from the Force, as they felt she was a threat to all living beings around her. As they attempted to carry out their plan, Kreia, Surik's mentor, killed them, and after revealing herself as the third Sith Lord, Darth Traya, she left Surik on Dantooine. Surik's revival corresponded with the Sith attack on the Republic, and she traveled to Telos IV to fight the Sith Lord Darth Nihilus. Surik defeated Nihilus on his flagship above Telos, before traveling to Malachor V to kill Darths Traya and Sion, the two remaining Sith Lords.

Eventually, the group of individuals Surik trained, known as the Lost Jedi, would, as Darth Traya prophesied, come together to re-establish another Jedi Order. As the Order was slowly reformed, Surik was able to convince Masters Shan and Atris to return to Coruscant and the abandoned Jedi Temple there and slowly rebuild. Training a new generation of Jedi, Surik reestablished the High Council with the assistance of her companions from the war and the Order and the Galactic Republic began the long, slow process of rebuilding. Within time, Surik saw the Jedi Order flourish once more, but was haunted by reoccurring dreams and a beckoning from beyond known space. Leaving the Republic and the Order behind, Surik departed Coruscant to search for Master Revan and the darkness he had sought to find beyond the galactic rim.

Resurgence of the Sith Empire
"Our time has come. For 300 years, we prepared. We grew stronger. While you rested in your cradle of power, believing your people were safe&hellip; protected. You were trusted to lead the Republic but you were deceived, as our powers over the dark side had blinded you. You assumed no force could challenge you and now&hellip; finally&hellip; we have returned."

- Darth Malgus

The Great Galactic War
"The Great Galactic War dragged on for decades. Thousands of Jedi and Sith were slain. Countless star systems were ravaged."

- Jedi Master Gnost-Dural

The Republic and the Order had thought that the Sith Empire had been completely destroyed in the aftermath of the Great Hyperspace War; unknown to them a single Sith Lord managed to escape Chancellor Pultimo's attack on Korriban and established himself as the new Sith Emperor and continued the rule of the Sith Empire in the Unknown Regions. It was this Emperor who had corrupted Revan and Malak, the same Emperor who would imprison Revan for a second time after his return to Dromuund Kaas following the Jedi Civil War. In 3,681 BBY the Sith Empire came out of hiding and attacked the Republic and the Jedi, taking both by complete surprise. Unknown to the Republic, the Sith had already infiltrated several planetary governments, the Republic and the Order itself, allowing it several victories. As Jedi and Republic forces fought back, the Mandalorians, under the leader ship of Mandalore the Lesser, entered the conflict on the side of the Empire. The war would eventually last 28 standard years. In 3,653 BBY with peace talks commencing on Alderaan, the Sith launched a surprise attack on Coruscant, devastating the planet, killing the Chancellor and nearly destroying the Jedi Temple. With Coruscant in their hands, the Sith presented the Republic with the Treaty of Coruscant. The Treaty sued for peace but was heavily biased towards the Sith, demanding that the Republic turn over several long time territories and Republic forces had to withdraw from current battlefields leaving the planets defenseless to Imperial occupation. With little choice, the Republic accepted ending the Great War.

The Cold War
The Cold War officially was only border skirmishes between rogue elements of the Republic and Sith Empire, yet all across the galaxy both sides were supporting coups, revolutions, assassinations and even all out civil war. Without the Temple on Coruscant, the Order drifted homeless for a short period before Jedi Knight Satele Shan returned from the Deep Core with coordinates to the lost planet Tython. As Jedi scouts prepared the planet for recolonization, the Order dealt with the loss of Grand Master Zym over the ruins of the Coruscant Temple and the defection of Master Dar'Nala to terrorism. As a new Temple emerged on Tython, the Jedi resettled their ancient homeworld and began to slowly rebuild. As Shan was appointed Grand Master, Jedi explored Tython forests and ruins, reconnecting with their roots and growing stronger in the Force. Elsewhere in the Republic, planets like Balmorra and Alderaan were major battlegrounds where both sides suffered from treaty-breaking, but unofficial backing; all across the galaxy the Great Galactic War was igniting a second time.

Several new heroes emerged in this time period; these heroes were both of the Republic and the Sith Empire, and they grew more powerful and significant over time, eventually becoming the main fighters for their respective sides, as many significant ones fell in the Cold War. Members of the Jedi Order who remained on Coruscant made up a special Jedi delegation within the Senate, while others tried to protect the ruins of the Jedi Temple and protect any of its remaining treasures. The new heroes which emerged were believed to be the ones that would lead the Republic and Sith Empire to an all-out war that would be more devastating and dangerous than any other in the past.

Galactic War
"We are at war! The Dark Council has placed me in charge and battles are being waged across the galaxy."

- Darth Baras

The sham known as the Cold War came to an inevitable end and the Galactic War erupted on galactic scale, but was even more brutal than any other war in the past. The Jedi Order quickly mobilized to compete with the Sith Empire and various third parties, all of whom where at their peak and with many mighty heroes. Engaging each other in full-scale war once again, Sith and Republic forces clashed, while the constant specter of betrayal loomed over everyone. Yet despite the copious amounts of traitors and third parties, they did little to stop the Republic and Empire from continuing their war. The Great War saw some of the Republic and Empire's bravest and mightiest heroes emerge, and this only created more tension and alarm, adding to the chaos already generated by the Great War.

The immense clash would lead to the defeat of various third parties and their leaders, such as Darth Malgus, leader of his own rebellion, and Bouris Ulgo, leader of House of Ulgo of Alderaan. The Dread Masters of the Sith Empire would be freed, and the destructive nature of this new war would radiate throughout the galaxy, slowly ravaging it. After a long, drawn out conflict, the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic proved victorious and the Sith Empire of old was finally defeated. The Jedi Order would return to Coruscant, abandoning Tython indefinitely, and rebuild the Jedi Temple slowly with financial aid from the recovering Republic. A new era of peace began, but was to be short lived.

The New Sith Wars
The horrors of the Old Sith Wars and the near extinction of the Jedi Order that had resulted from the conflict were remembered in the Republic for generations. Few could have guessed, however, that a much larger conflict would soon engulf the galaxy. From within the Order's ranks Jedi Master Phanius, one of the Order's brightest members, became entranced with the forbidden knowledge of the Sith and, defying the High Council, absconded into deep space with a Sith holocron stolen from the Jedi Archives. Phanius took up the long vacant title of Dark Lord of the Sith as well as a new name and identity: Darth Ruin. In the ensuing years, Ruin gathered together a large number of dark side followers and surviving Sith clans and founded the New Sith Empire. With this army Ruin planned to bring the Republic, and the Jedi who served it, to their knees. Beginning what would be a thousand year war, Ruin's empire quickly became fractured, tearing down the Republic and the Jedi Order while ravaging itself from the inside out. The Order was plagued by ineffectual leadership throughout the conflict, constantly held back by a politically-minded High Council. To counter the poor management of Order, several Jedi left Coruscant to establish baronies and kingdoms on the Rim, protecting their subjects while demanding fealty and military service. These so-called Jedi Lords established a loose confederation under the guidance of a Jedi Grand Council made up of the most powerful Lords, waging wars against the Sith Empire and killing any Sith minions who intruded on Jedi space.

In 1,010 BBY, the High Council raised their protege Skere Kaan to the rank of Master, dispatching him into the galaxy to cripple the Sith Empire; the High Council did this despite their knowledge of Kaan's extremist views and his belief that the Order and the Republic were responsible for the state of the galaxy. Taking with him a group of like-minded Jedi, Kaan declared himself Dark Lord and organized a Brotherhood of Darkness, issuing a warning to all surviving Sith: join the Brotherhood and bend the knee or die. Holding true to his promise of death to all who did not join the Brotherhood, the High Council sent their congratulations to Kaan for his swift work of the worst of the Sith Lords. Kaan openly mocked the Order and the thanks, declaring war on them and promising to burn their Temple to the ground. Furious at the Council ineptitude, Lord Hoth rallied the banners of those loyal to him and raised a great host called the Army of Light. Gaining the support of the last Grand Council of the Jedi and every last lord, Hoth harried the Brotherhood along its flank until the Army of Light had enough practice at warfare to strike at the Brotherhood's heart. Meeting the Brotherhood in open combat during a series of campaigns at the planet Ruusan, the conflict ground on for seven fierce battles costing many lives on both sides. At the conclusion of the seventh battle, Lord Kaan—near defeat and driven insane by the power of the dark side—unleashed the horrors of the thought bomb in a cave system, engulfing every single Force-user on the world.

The New Sith Wars were over. The Jedi Order had survived once again despite the deaths of nearly every member of the Army of Light on Ruusan, and the Sith were presumed wiped out to the last individual. One, however, had survived: Darth Bane. He and his successors would hide from the Republic and the Jedi, planning revenge in utter secrecy under the Rule of Two.

Ruusan Reformation
With the Sith presumed extinct, the Jedi believed that they had at last forged a long-lasting peace in the galaxy. With the Ruusan Reformation passing the Senate and receiving the High Council's blessings, both the Jedi Order and the Republic renounced militarism, disbanding their vast armies and navies. From that point on, the galaxy would rely on smaller Planetary Security Forces and the Judicial Department to help the Jedi keep the peace.

The wave of change sweeping the Republic enabled forward-thinking Jedi to make vast strides in the Order' setup during the first years of peace. Under the leadership of Grand Master Fae Coven, the Jedi High Council became more influential, and many loose rules were codified. Adults were banned from entering into the Order after Ruusan proved them to be too volatile and susceptible to the dark side's sway. They would renounce all ties to the outside world—to wealth, material possessions, and even family. Training would now be undertaken on a strict one-to-one basis and centralized on Coruscant. With the far-flung academies of the past, the temptation of delving into forbidden knowledge was considered too great for members of the order. Many far-flung, satellite training facilities were closed and the Temple on Coruscant became the heart of the Order. The Trials of Knighthood were firmly put in place to ensure all Knights were tested on a fair and equal scale. Coven was also ensured that her changes would be known by every Jedi by drafting and putting into circulation throughout the Order personal copies of The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force, a guidebook given to each and every member of the Order.

Along with Master Coven's quest to set the Order on a firm footing, Caretaker of First Knowledge Restelly Quist and the other members of the Council of First Knowledge were determined to completely eradicate all memory of the Sith to ensure they never returned. Dispatching Shadows to find and locate all Sith artifacts, relics, and even history books detailing past Jedi-Sith conflicts; the Order essentially erased all memory of the Sith in under five decades.

A phantom menace
"At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge."

- Darth Maul

Over the ensuing millennium, the Jedi Order enjoyed a Golden Age in which training flourished and the Galactic Republic enjoyed peace. Following the disaster on Almas involving fallen Padawan Kibh Jeen, the Order was made aware that a Sith had survived Ruusan and a new Rule of Two had been established. Believing the Sith to be a minor threat, it wasn't until the machinations of Darth Tenebrous and his apprentice Darth Plagueis in the Fobosi District circa 53 BBY, that the Jedi Order felt the dark side of the Force on Coruscant for the first time. in nearly one thousand years.

In 32 BBY, the presence of the Sith once again became clear by the Jedi. The Sith Lord, Darth Sidious had secretly contacted members of the Trade Federation, including Nute Gunray and Daultay Dofine, and saw to it that Gunray was made Viceroy of the Federation by using a special battle droid to kill the members of the Federation Ruling Council. Along with a series of other devious plots, Sidious was responsible for manipulating Gunray to show the Republic that they could not bully him with trade embargoes by blockading the remote planet of Naboo. The Supreme Chancellor dispatched Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, to negotiate a Trade Federation withdrawal.

However, the Neimoidians attempted to murder the Jedi, and so the pair was forced to hide on an invasion craft which carried them down to the planet. There Jinn met and rescued a Gungan by the name of Jar Jar Binks. Binks led Jinn and Kenobi to the Gungan city of Otoh Gunga. The Gungan High Council, while rather difficult at first, at last allowed Jedi to take a bongo to the capital city of Naboo, Theed. There the Jedi rescued Queen Padmé Amidala from a droid escort. The group then fled to Tatooine, where they repaired the Queen's ship, and from there to Coruscant. When Amidala realized that the Senate could not solve her problem, she returned to Naboo. There, with the help of the Gungan Grand Army and a young boy named Anakin Skywalker the Queen and her Jedi protectors defeated the Federation's Droid Army; however, in a climactic lightsaber duel between Jinn, Kenobi, and Sidious's apprentice, Darth Maul, Jinn was killed. Stung by his master's death, Kenobi threw himself at the Sith, seemingly killing him. After Darth Maul was defeated, the Jedi knew that there was still at least one member of the Sith active, but they were unaware of the identity of Sidious.

The Clone Wars
"Victory? Victory, you say? Master Obi-Wan, not victory. The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun, the Clone War has."

- Master Yoda after the Battle of Geonosis During the ten years following the Invasion of Naboo, Jedi Master Dooku, the Count of Serenno, left the Jedi Order and became the leader of a group of corporations, such as the Trade Federation and the Commerce Guild, known as the Confederacy of Independent Systems. However, unknown to the Jedi, Dooku had been recruited by Darth Sidious and had become his apprentice, renamed Darth Tyranus.

In 22 BBY, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, his Padawan Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala, a young Senator from Naboo, were captured by Dooku on Geonosis in the Outer Rim. The trio were scheduled for execution; however, they were saved when a group of over two hundred Jedi arrived, led by Mace Windu. In the Petranaki arena most of the Jedi perished, and the few remaining formed a circle in the center of the arena, surrounded by hundreds of Confederacy droids. However, before they could be killed, Grand Master Yoda arrived with thousands of clone troopers, who had secretly been ordered by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. The clones rescued the remaining Jedi, and so the First Battle of Geonosis, and thus the Clone Wars, began. The Jedi attempted to stop Count Dooku from leaving Geonosis. Obi-Wan Kenobi was injured in a duel with Dooku, and Kenobi's apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, lost his arm. Master Yoda led the clones and the Jedi to victory, and when the battle was all but won he traveled to meet Dooku. After a short duel with Dooku, Yoda was forced to let the Separatist leader escape in order to save Kenobi and Skywalker. Of the hundreds of Jedi in the rescue team, less than fifty survived the opening salvo of the war.

The Clone Wars escalated into one of the largest wars in galactic history in a matter of weeks. The members of the Jedi Order played a pivotal part in the war, acting as generals to the vast Grand Army of the Republic; an act which caused the deaths of thousands of Jedi during the war. To combat the Force abilities of the Jedi, Dooku enlisted the help of several Dark Jedi, as well as Gen'Dai bounty hunter Durge. Dooku had many Force-using subordinates, though the most feared of them were Sora Bulq, Aurra Sing, Asajj Ventress, as well as Quinlan Vos, who served as a double-agent.

Four months after Geonosis, the Jedi Order faced their biggest threat in the war against the Confederacy: General Grievous. On Hypori, Grievous was revealed to the Republic and the Order as a killing machine, slaying several Jedi and wounding several other high ranking members of the Order. On Jabiim, the Jedi suffered heavy losses, and although they managed to evacuate the planet, all except one of the Padawan Pack, a group of Padawans orphaned when their Masters either were killed or disappeared, perished. The sole survivor was Anakin Skywalker, who was slowly becoming more famous.

Towards the end of the war, the Separatists retreated from many of their bases in the Core Worlds and the Colonies, to Fortress worlds in the Mid and Outer Rim, after being defeated by the Republic in a series of battles. This boosted the morale of the Republic, and Chancellor Palpatine and the Jedi deployed almost every fleet available to CIS worlds in the Outer Rim, laying siege to the Separatist strongholds in an attempt to force the Confederacy to surrender; however, the Sieges left many senior Jedi dead. On Boz Pity, the Order lost several members but were able to remove Asajj Ventress from the war while Sora Bulq and his Morgukai Shadow Army were defeated on Saleucami. The citizens of the Core were led to believe that the end of the war was near, and that the Confederacy would be brought to justice in the near future. In truth, the Sieges were the work of Darth Sidious, intended to lure forces away from Coruscant

In 19 BBY, with most of the Republic's army and the Jedi fighting in the Outer Rim Sieges, the Separatist fleet, led by Grievous and Dooku, launched a week-long siege against Coruscant. Thousands of Vulture droids and Droid tri-fighters rained down on the capital, and Confederacy C-9979 landing craft unleashed hundreds of millions of battle droids and tank droids on the capital's streets, causing much damage to lives and property. In response, the Republic deployed its clone forces against the CIS droids. With the battle raging on in space, Grievous and his IG-100 MagnaGuards kidnapped the Supreme Chancellor, after defeating several Jedi and wounding Council member Shaak Ti. Grievous then transported Palpatine to his flagship, the Invisible Hand. Several Jedi piloting starfighters attempted to intercept Grievous on his way to the flagship, but they failed. After realizing that they had been lured away from Coruscant, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi returned from Tythe to join in the attempt to rescue Palpatine, who was being held aboard Grievous' flagship, the Invisible Hand. Although Dooku injured Kenobi, Skywalker disarmed him, and at the Chancellor's command, the young Jedi Knight ruthlessly beheaded the Dark Lord, and released Palpatine, dealing a tremendous blow to the Confederacy.

Igniting a fire
"In the name of the Galactic Senate of the Republic, you're under arrest, Chancellor." "Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?" "The Senate will decide your fate." "I am the Senate!" "Not yet." "It's treason then."

- Mace Windu and Palpatine

Government

 * Jedi High Council – Based on Ossus, the twelve members of the High Council were given the highest ranking members of the Order and charged with governing the entire Jedi Order. Three types of membership existed: life-term, long-term, and limited-term. During the Golden Age of the Jedi, Grand Master Tomac Moorcé greatly dispersed the authority of the High Council into smaller Councils to insure proper attention could be given to specific matters out of the scope of the High Council's greater perspective.
 * Council of First Knowledge – Charged with maintaining the Order's knowledge banks and academies, the First Knowledge Council was directly responsible for the coordination of the Order's numerous satellite Councils charged with governing the Order's many academies and chapter houses.
 * Jedi Grand Council – The executive council of Tython, the Grand Council was made up of the Order's nine Temple Masters and Tython's Headmaster. Charged with the administration of the Great Journey and Trials of Knighthood, the Grand Council was also the keeper of the nine Noetikons and the Codex of Tython.
 * Librarians' Assembly
 * Almas Academy Council

This Council dealt with all things politics, ran the Coruscant academy, oversaw the Jedi Embassy and served as the Order's public relations department.
 * Jedi Embassy – The Embassies of the Jedi Order were installations within both the Galactic Republic Senate and the Parliament of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Serving as a place for representatives and dignitaries to gather and discuss certain issues with Jedi diplomats and ambassadors, the Embassy was a politicians direct link to the Council of Reconciliation.
 * Council of Reassignment – Based out of the Service Corps Tower on Ossus, the five members of this Council was tasked with the supervision of the operations of the Service Corps and each of its branches. Assigning failed Padawans and Journeyers to the Corps, members of this Council rotated out after a five year term.
 * Council of Judgment – The primary judiciary organ of the Jedi Order, this Council heard all cases of Jedi and non-Jedi arrested by agents working in the field.

Jedi Code
Members of the Jedi Order from Jedi Masters to Padawans lived by a simple mantra, often the first thing a member of the Order was taught, which guided their thoughts, their bodies and their actions as practicing Jedi. Influenced by the writings of great Jedi Masters and the Je'daii Order's teachings, these principles were put simply yet effectively in the Jedi Code:


 * I am the heart of the Force.
 * I am the revealing fire of light.
 * I am the mystery of darkness
 * In balance with light and dark,
 * There is no emotion, there is peace.
 * There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
 * There is no fear; there is strength.
 * There is no passion, there is serenity.
 * There is no chaos, there is harmony.
 * There is no death, there is immortality in the Force.

-The Jedi Code of the Golden Age of the Jedi-era Order.

Jedi ranks
As the Jedi instructed their members in the ways of the Jedi Code and the Force, each member progressed through five basic levels of rank with additional honorary titles handed down by the Jedi High Council on occasion.

Hierarchy

 * Jedi Initiate – The youngest members of the Order, these Force-sensitive children were given the rank of Initiate when they began their communal training in clans. Recruited from every inhabited world within the civilized galaxy where blood testing was required upon birth, Initiates were removed from their families and brought to the Grand Academy on Ossus for formal training. During the Jedi Renaissance era, every Jedi in the Order was required to begin their training on Ossus with no exception. Studying within the Academy's walls until they reached adolescence, Intiates took a final test before participating in a weeks-long series of trials known as the Academy Apprentice Tournament where Jedi Knights and Masters sought out potential Padawans.
 * Jedi Acolyte – Throughout the Order's history, the High Council has wavered on the age limits which restricted entry into the Order. Following the Clone Wars the High Council declared that all Forceful individuals could find a home in the Order, though they would enter into the Academy as an Acolyte. Given over to an accelerated yet intensive course structure within the Acolyte Academy. Like all Initiates in the Order, Acolytes took a final test before participating in the Annual Academy Acolyte Tournament to demonstrate their abilities for a potential master.
 * Padawan – After being selected for individual tutelage under a single Jedi Knight or Jedi Master, Initiates and Acolytes were given the title of Padawan. Eligible for this rank following the successful completion of the Initiate Trials]]and Acolyte Trials respectively, Padawans were typically taken at adolescence and completed their training away from the academy and Ossus. Per tradition, Padawans of a hair-growing species would wear a long braid of hair behind their ear; non-haired Padawans were encouraged to wear a type of jewelry, a tattoo, or other body modification. A Jedi Knight or Jedi Master could have only one apprentice at a time, and the Padawan had to be promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight before another apprentice could be chosen; a practice that was formalized following the Great Sith War and continued through the Renaissance era.
 * ''Service Corps member – Following several unsuccessful attempts at the Initiate Trials or if a student is not chosen by a Master, the Council of Reconciliation would place the student within the Service Corps. Depending on where the student's talents lay, this might be the Agricultural Corps, the Medical Corps, the Educational Corps Builder Corps, Security Corps or the Exploration Corps. The Service Corps were also open to ranking Jedi and non-Forceful individuals after the Clone Wars; allowing for those not generally allowed into the Order to serve the will of the Force. If this role did not suit a particular student, they could choose to leave the Order entirely.
 * Jedi Journeyer – Following a period of nearly a decade of one-on-one training with a master, a disciplined Padawan was eligible to attempt the Great Journey and the Trials of Knighthood on Tython. A title resurrected from the ancient Je'daii Order, Journeyers were tasked with travelling across the dangerous terrain of Tython to each of the nine Great Temples for specialized training in different fields of education including, science, metallurgy, Force skills, healing, martial arts, research, the arts and philosophy before traveling to Padawan Kesh to face the formal Trials of Knighthood. Once completed successfully, each Journeyer underwent the knighting ceremony and ascended to the next rank in the Order's hierarchy.
 * Jedi Knight – Upon successfully ascending to the rank of Knight, the Jedi is no longer attached to a master. Knights were free to accept missions from the Council, pursue specialized training on one of the three branches of Knighthood, or take their own Padawan. Many attached themselves to an academy somewhere across the galaxy to pursue further knowledge and skills at specialized facilities. Upon taking a student, a Knight was free to take them on missions or into the wilderness and train them survival skills as well as the traditional Jedi skills.
 * Jedi Master – A Knight who showed great understanding of the Force and managed to instruct a Padawan and train them successfully to the level of a Jedi Knight was elevated to the rank of Master by the High Council. Self-declaration of the title was frowned upon and rare practice in the latter days of the Order and increasingly rare after the Renaissance era. Among the Order's Masters, only a select few were appointed to one of the Jedi Councils which governed the Order's academies, institutions and knowledge banks. Made up exclusively of wise, experienced Masters, the Councils of the Order had different levels of membership, ensuring fresh perspectives were expressed as new events occurred. The High Council was made up of 12 masters, five of them holding life terms, four holding long-terms, and three holding short-terms.
 * Master of the Order – This position was the elected leader of the High Council and was tasked with guiding Council discussions and directing its members' attention to specific matters. Charged with calling the Council into session, the Master of the Order was the guiding hand of the High Council but was still considered an equal among the other Councilors.
 * Grand Master – The recognized leader of the entire Order, only a single Grand Master was appointed at a time during the modern era and was seen as giving direction to the Order.
 * Temple Master – During the Golden Age of the Jedi, each of the nine Great Temples of Tython were headed by a Temple Master who was tasked with not only overseeing the Temple's day-to-day operation, but with sitting on the Grand Council and maintaining each Temple's Noetikon.
 * Academy Headmaster – Approved by the Council of First Knowledge, each academy was placed under the stewardship of a single headmaster who was guided by a five member Council. Reporting to the First Knowledge Council for major decisions, the headmaster was charged with overseeing the appointment of knew instructors and the crafting of new classes.
 * Barsen'thor – The Warden of the Order, this Jedi was charged with running the Security Corps and overseeing the parole of each of the Order's prisoners.
 * Caretaker of First Knowledge – Custodian of the Order's holocrons and leader of the First Knowledge Council, the Caretaker's was considered one of the wisest Jedi in the Order in terms of historical knowledge.

Specialization
Upon a ascending to Knighthood, each Jedi faced the choice of continuing down one of three branches of Jedi training. Choosing based on preference and personal talents and skills, the opportunity to join the ranks of the Guardians, Consulars, or Sentinels was open to all who passed the Trials of Knighthood. In addition to their specialization, the High Council could demand that the members of the Order assume military ranks in order to defend civilization.

Jedi Guardian
Knights preferring to take a physically active stance against the dark side of the Force and all other threats to civilization were known to pursue the title of Guardian. Brandishing their typically blue lightsabers proudly, Guardians focused much of their training on perfecting their sparring and athletic skills, as well as the art of unarmed combat. The Force skills studied by the Guardians were typically those used for quickly disabling an opponent and aiding in agility and stamina. The most profound masters of this specialization were known as Warrior Master.
 * Jedi ace – Members of the Starfighter Corps were known as Aces and specialized in using starfighters as an extension of their being, combining piloting skills with mastery of the Force.
 * Combat instructor – Stationed at each Jedi academy, these individuals were battle-scarred Masters who were determined to pass down their experience to the young students of the Order.
 * Battlemaster – The highest ranking combat instructor within each academy, the battlemaster was appointed by the First Knowledge Council and was responsible for selecting and referring future instructors. Designing the regimen taught at each academy, the battlemaster was considered among the greatest swordsmen in the Order.
 * Jedi Peacekeeper – Those Jedi wishing to pursue a peacekeeping role were stationed within planetary or sectoral government's security agencies where they worked as the area's special police. Helping to quell riots and capture terrorists, the Peacekeepers were the most wildly seen Jedi.
 * Temple Security Force – was an Order-wide organization of Peacekeepers who were assigned to a specific temple or academy and charged with its defense. While largely symbolic, dressed in flowing white robes and polished white and gold masks, the Temple Guards were highly skilled and carried specialized ranks. Among the guards was a Gate Master at each entrance, snipers on the rooftops and brutes for riot control. Augmented by non-Forceful Security Corps members, the Temple Security Forces were highly trained and skilled in their field.
 * Weapon Master – A Jedi Master who mastered the technique of wielding an exotic weapon was dubbed a Weapons Specialist, or Weapon Master. The Weapon Master was among the greatest physical fighters of the Order and could wield anything from a lightsaber, starfighter or their own body.

Jedi Consular
Focusing not on physical force but on mastery of the Force and the sharpening of mental skills, the Jedi Knights who became Consulars worked closely with the Republic and Confederate Diplomatic Corps and medical facilities. Overseen by the Council of Reconciliation, Consulars worked as healers, prophets, and researchers, typically wielding a green lightsaber only for self defense. The most studied masters of this specialization were known as Sage Master.
 * Jedi Ambassador – The face of the Republic or the Confederacy to each newly discovered world, Ambassadors worked closely with bureaucrats to assist in greeting unaligned governments and helping them join the galactic community. Some Ambassadors were designated as advisers to certain Senators or even the Supreme Chancelloror Head of State upon request.
 * Jedi Diplomat – Always right in the middle of a dispute, Jedi Diplomats were given the authority to hammer out a compromise or treaty during tense negotiations, backed by the full support of the Republic Senate, Confederate Parliament and Jedi Order. Jedi were often called upon to act as impartial diplomats due to the Order's traditions of detachment from secular society and the phenomenon of Force-guided intuition. They would serve as moderators and negotiators during disputes, and their judgments were recognized as just and binding. When acting as diplomats, Jedi took the utmost care to be impartial and fair-minded. Some species who respected the Jedi – for example, the Barabel – retained a tradition of calling upon a Jedi's impartial judgment even for minor interpersonal disputes.
 * Jedi healer – Some Jedi would focus on the more humanitarian aspects of the Force, manipulating the Living Force to perform the art of healing. Led by the Circle of Healers, healers were deployed to serve aboard MedStar frigates or to medical facilities across the galaxy to practice their arts.
 * Chief Healer – During the Renaissance era, three Chief Healers had membership with the Circle of Healers. Tasked with overseeing the three major healing centers in the Order on Coruscant, Ossus, and Tython, these Jedi oversaw the most complicated healing sessions and signed off on all appointments.
 * Jedi Lore Keeper – Jedi wishing to contribute to the growth of the Order's collective knowledge would become Lore Keepers, a group directed by the Librarians' Assembly. Divided into historians, archivists, and librarians, each group worked for the proliferation of knowledge and preservation of the past.
 * Chief Archivist – Overseeing the maintenance and upkeep of the Order's Archives, the Chief Archivists on Ossus, Courscant and Tython sat on the Librarian's Assembly and oversaw the Educational Corps.
 * Jedi Researcher – Solving theory and updating the Archives of the Order, researchers chose specializations such as that in archaeology, geology, biology, mathematics, and astronomy. Whether venturing into the unknown with the Exploration Corps, studying at Kaleth or studying in the field, researchers ultimately sought to gain wisdom for the Order.
 * Jedi Seer – Those Jedi specifically predisposed to receive visions through the Force were known as Seers, maintaining and updating the Order's holocrons. Maintaining the Oracle tower at the Grand Temple of Ossus, the Seers attempted to predict future events.
 * Jedi Prophets – Numbering only five, the Prophets resided in the Tower of Orthanc on Tython where they presided over different fields of prophecy. Wearing robes corresponding to their specialty, the Prophets spoke directly to the Jedi Councils and provided them with only the most accurate visions.

Jedi Sentinel
Knights that sought a balance between the intensive combat training of the Guardians and the wider philosophical views and teaching responsibilities of the Consulars fill out the ranks of the Sentinels. These Jedi ferreted out deceit and injustice, bringing it to light. They were generally employed in scouting missions and were skilled in security, computers, or stealth techniques, and also had diplomatic skills. Relying not only on the Force, they saw it as one tool in an entire arsenal to be used against the darkness.
 * Jedi investigator – Jedi specially appointed by the Security Corps to uncover hidden and obscure threats to the galaxy such as powerful criminal syndicates, corruption and conspiracy against the Republic and other shady menaces served as investigators. The Jedi investigator would often work alone and undercover to infiltrate suspicious organizations or would be busy investigating some act of crime. Based on either Ossus or the old Draay Estate on Coruscant, investigators brought their Forceful suspects back to headquarters for trials by the Council of Judgment.
 * Jedi Recruiter – Members of the Acquisition Division, these Jedi were skilled at tracking down Forceful individuals across the galaxy and bringing them into the Order's fold. While technology had been limited to blood-samples for much of the Order's history, Master Callista Masana head the construction of a machine which, when augmented by a Force-sensitive's brain, could allow the user to perceive and identify all Forceful beings in the galaxy.
 * Jedi Shadow – The secret police of the Order, Shadows worked under the supervision of the First Knowledge Council and were dispatched to destroy all agents of the dark side. Heavily employed after the New Sith Wars and the Clone Wars, the Shadows were responsible for erasing the word "Sith" from the minds of the majority of galactic citizens and eradicating their ancient strongholds.
 * Jedi Watchman – Jedi Watchmen were charged with overseeing a particular system or sector, thus serving as a type of liaison officer between the system or sector and the High Council as well as the galactic governments in general. Jedi Watchmen were often highly skilled in diplomacy and possessed knowledge of the culture of the system or sector they oversaw; typically having spent many years living among the people of said world. By the height of the Golden Age, the Order maintained at least a single Watchman in each civilized system.

Jedi sub-sects
The Jedi Order during its history has often been confronted with schisms regarding the interpretation of the Jedi Code, which sometimes created new thinking minority within the Order. Following the Jedi Renaissance, the High Council welcomed different ways of interpreting the Code and viewing the Force under the mantra that it is better to have Forceful beings under the umbrella of the Order then out in the galaxy without oversight. Following the Clone Wars, the High Council undertook a massive search for Force groups with the intent of bringing them under control of the High Council. Widely successful, these groups were permitted to maintain their individuality while required to submit their teachings to the Council of First Knowledge for review. Any new students had to have completed training at the Grand Academy before training at an academy of a sub-sect of the Order. This allowed for a more unified, diverse Order where all views were tolerated and given a voice.

Altisian Jedi Founded by the Jedi Master Djinn Altis, the Altisian faction held several precepts frowned upon by the orthodox Jedi Order, including the taking of multiple apprentices by one master, initiating adult Padawans, and allowing families. Leaving the Jedi Temple three decades before the Clone Wars, Altis and his followers moved about the galaxy serving as relief workers on underdeveloped worlds and backwaters. When Altis took a seat on the High Council, the Altisian Jedi were brought back into the fold of the Order proper. Taking up a permanent settlement in the small city of Talla, located in the mountains overlooking the city of Knossa on Ossus, the Talla Jedi as they became known welcomed Jedi who sought marriage ceremonies but agreed to allow their children to be trained at the Grand Academy.

Corellian Jedi Faithful to the reputation of rebels of their people, Corellian Jedi were strongly attached to their natal star system and unwilling to respect the rules of emotional detachment of the Order. So, a waiver was granted to them allowing them to remain in the Corellian system, to raise families and take their own children as Padawans. They soon developed their own cultural identity within the Jedi Order, with traditional green robes, commemorative medals and famous dynasties Halcyon family. Under the guidance of Kessar Jedd, the Corellians united with the Order more formally after high tensions during the Clone Wars. Allowing their young to train on Ossus, Corellian Jedi kept their traditions but respected the will of the High Council and the Corellian Academy's administrative Council.

Paladins Founded by the Jedi Master during the, the Teepo Paladins and later Falon Grey's Paladins acknowledged that a Jedi could be no more independent of the Force than of nourishment or air; nevertheless, they had developed skills and techniques that did not utilize the Force's "flashier" aspects. They didn't eschew the use of lightsabers completely, they simply believed that a Jedi should use which ever weapon he or she felt the most comfortable with, but many chose instead to rely on proficiency with blasters and other forms of combat, both armed, and unarmed. They became Masters in various forms of martial arts like Teräs Käsi, as well as esoteric weaponry such as spinsticks, rather than rely on Force-augmented gymnastics and speed. Teepo and his followers were ostracized as potential dark siders. Though not a formal part of the Order, some still maintained residence at the Jedi Temple. Under the guidance of Grand Master Tomac Moorcé the Paladins were brought to Ossus to undergo formal training inside the Order so that they might take up their appropriate place within the Order. Many of the Paladin Weapons Masters went on to teach their specialized skills at Stav Kesh on Tython.

Iron Knights Founded by the Jedi Master Aqinos, the Iron Knights were Force-sensitive crystalline trained as Jedi, who required droid bodies as their hosts to interact with the world. The High Council, however, was horrified that Aqinos had taught inorganic crystals about the Force, and felt that they could not truly understand the Force. Aqinos was excommunicated, and the Iron Knights went with him. Joining with the Altisian Jedi, Aqinos and his Iron Knights were invited back into the Order by the new Grand Master following the Clone Wars and were given ranks within the Order. Aqinos' Knights went on to encourage the proliferation of droid rights across the galaxy.

Baran Do sages The Force-based tradition of the Kel Dor, many Jedi native to Dorin studied ancient texts from this order during their time with the Jedi. Meditative and secrerative, the Baran Do possessed weather-related abilities which allowed them to sense the coming of storms and harness Force electricity. Long resisting the invitation of the High Council to declare full affiliation with the Order, the Master of the Baran Do Order was finally convinced to ally with the Jedi after being informed about the Sith plot that almost wiped out the Jedi in the Clone Wars. Constructing a Temple in the city of Knossa on Ossus, the Baran Do maintained their temple on Dorin as a Jedi chapter house. Many Baran Do Jedi made their way to Tython where they studied the bizarre Force storms which occasionally ravaged the world.

Believers The Believers cult was a dark side sect which fed off of the Sith fortress located on the planet Almas. Drawing many Jedi to their cause, the Believers were recognized as a true threat to the Order by the end of the Clone Wars. Tasking Almas Headmaster Worma Triblen with taking control of the Sith fortress on Almas and exterminating the Believers, the Almas Rangers finally captured the last members of the group in 15 BBY. Detained on Ossus, the Believers were systematically brought into Balance either through solitary meditation detention or exile to Bogan above Tython. After assimilating into the Order, the Believers were no more.

Blazing Chain Based out in the Unknown Regions, the Blazing Chain used the Force to augment their pirating careers and raid unsuspecting ships along the fringes of the galaxy. After the Clone Wars, members of the Jedi Order began to hear whispers of Force-sensitive pirates aligned with the Shadow Collective and quickly reported this to the High Council. It was not until the Hutt Offensive was in full-swing that the Order finally confronted members of the Blazing Chain as they fought alongside the Hutts in the war for control of Hutt Space. What members that could be taken prisoner were brought into Balance and allowed to live on a Jedi fortress world, while others were either destroyed or disappeared into obscurity. Due to the Order's strengthened recruitment policies, the Blazing Chain disappeared due to attrition as Forceful children were identified and brought into the Order's academy.

Boughtine A group of gentle hermits who make their living through the crafting of paper dolls and toys, the Boughtine study the Force as it manifests in the arts. Living in isolation on the mountain planet of Brosi, these individuals were encountered by Jedi Master during his travels. Making note of their existence, his former apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi sought them out during his search for Force-based groups and invited them to join the Order. Agreeing to send representatives to train with the Jedi, most Boughtine Jedi resided either in Knossa expressing themselves in the public square or cloistered away within the halls of Bodhi, Temple of the Arts on Tython.

Ner Yan While not an organization, practitioners of Ner Yan were based on Cerea and suffered great decline as Cereans constantly attempted to fight off the encroachment of technology on their homeworld. As more and more corporate entities attempted to entice the younger generations to allow offworld innovations into the Cerean society, interest in Ner Yan diminished. After the Clone Wars, Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi offered Ner Yan adherents a place of worship on Ossus where they might preserve their traditions and pass it on to others. While reluctant to leave their homeworld, Mundi convinced them that by recording their knowledge in the Great Library of the Jedi they would ensure that their teachings would be passed down to the next generation of Cerean Jedi who could one day assist in revitalizing the tradition on Cerea.

Cruthauses

The Cruthauses, native to the planet Talor, were farmers and pacifists, encouraging plant growth through the Force. Born out of the Agricultural Corps of the Jedi Order, the Cruthauses developed after Jedi Cruthaus crash-landed on the planet and taught the native Talorons the ways of farming with the Force. These individuals were encountered by Jedi Master during his travels into the Unknown Regions during his long career. Making note of their existence, his former apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi sought them out during his search for Force-based groups and invited them to join the Order. Agreeing to send representatives to train with the Jedi, most Cruthaus Jedi resided joined the AgriCorps and spread their knowledge of farming to disadvantaged peoples across the Outer Rim. Others went on to join Master Stass Allie's community of wanderers out in the wilds of Ossus.

Disciples of Shaa At the height of their society, the Seylotts maintained a rich culture which spanned their entire planet. Worshiping the Mother and the Infant of Shaa, the Seylotts built massive temples devoted to the worship of the duality of life as personified in the Mother and Infant. When their society declined, those primitive groups which remained slowly began to die out. Dwindling down to a small population, only Force-sensitive Seylotts managed to survive. Unable to call for help due to a regression in technology, the Seylotts were saved from extinction when Jedi scouts discovered the world and opened negotiations to bring the Seylotts to Ossus. Taking refuge deep within the jungle continent of the Jedi fortress world, the Seylotts built new temples to Shaa and saw their society reinvigorated. As all offspring were Forceful, the Seylotts allowed their youth to be trained in the Jedi arts, making them a largely Jedi species.

Disciples of Twilight Native to the shadowy world of Dyspeth, the Disciples of Twilight were founded by a former Jedi Knight and a group of Forceful colonists. Protecting the weak with their ability to use the Force to bend light, the Disciples were able to render themselves invisible and cloak themselves in shadow. When rumor of their existence reached the ear of the High Council, Grand Master Moorcé wished to learn of their abilities so that the Jedi Shadows might learn the art of light bending. Sending an envoy to Dyspeth, the Disciples were intrigued by the idea of joining the Order and expanding their customs. Agreeing to establish a Temple on Ossus, Moorcé also suggested they build a training academy in the Shadowlands of Tython so as to study the strange light effects which had long baffled Jedi scientists. Jedi Disciples often served as Shadows, researchers or Peacekeepers.

Ela b'Yentarr A name given to Bosph Force-sensitives, the ela b'Yentarr were treated as mystics by their fellow Bosph. Located outside both Republic and Confederate space, the Bosph were not subject to laws regarding the custody of Forceful individuals and was therefore the target of Jedi ambassadors interested in bringing the species into the Order. Dispatching Master Beyghor Sahdett in 4 BBY, the High Council hoped to win the species over and receive several children a year. Successfully negotiating a deal, Sahdett managed to convince the Bosph to send ten Forceful infants to the Order annually and encourage older Bosph versed in the ela b'Yentarr tradition to travel to Ossus to share their collected histories and traditions with the Order.

Fallanasi Known as the Adepts of the White Current, the Fallanasi were an all-female group who focused solely on the mystical aspects of the Force, teaching nothing the way of telekinesis, or abilities which manipulated the physical world. Based on Lucazec, the Fallanasi did not believe that authority was a truth to be observed and therefore rejected the overtures of the Jedi High Council to join their Order. Despite this, the Fallanasi constructed a temple in the Free Cities of Tython where they continued to practice their arts of illusion in private. Over time the Adepts began to connect more and more with the Order, allowing for their religious texts to be stored in the Great Library and even sending representatives to the Ossus to give lectures on the White Current. By 98 ABY, the entire order was comprised of Fallanasi Jedi, as all Force-sensitive candidates were inducted into the Jedi Order and new Fallanasi were members of the Order who sought out the Adepts' Temple of the Infinite Spirit in the Free City of Braavos. The Fallanasi Jedi, while still exclusively female and refusing to recognize the High Council's authority, maintained their Jedi ways and introduced martial skills into their teachings of illusions. Remaining a small, isolated group in the Free Cities, the Fallanasi did move around freely on Jedi worlds and their teachings on illusions became readily available, especially after several Fallanasi adepts began teaching at Qigong Kesh.

Far Seekers

Fellowship of Kooroo

A fringe group of pilgrims who traveled the Outer Rim visiting ancient shrines to the supposed historic being called Kooroo, the history of the Fellowship was plagued with allegations of corruption and fraud. In an attempt to discover the realities of the group and if they could be inducted into the Order, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano tracked down the group during their 16 BBY pilgrimage to Branteez. While observing the shrine from a distance, the Jedi were able to detect that it was closely guarded and that its sentries were Weequay. Approaching the shrine on foot, the Jedi convinced the guards to let the inside and they were greeted by an assorted group of Shriners. welcoming them to their Shrine, the members of the Fellowship gave a detailed account of their experiences at other Shrines and encouraged the Jedi to feel for themselves the true nature of the group. Feeling a definitive echo of their own Force abilities in the Shrine's walls, the Jedi were willing to entertain the notion of the group's legitimacy. All belief in the group diminished however after interacting with the group's leader, an Elomin priest who showed no knowledge of the Force or having any connection to it. Exposing the fraud for what it was, the group quickly disbanded in an awkward silence and departed the Shrine. As the Jedi prepared to leave a lone Shriner, the young Glovan Thule, approached the Jedi and asked them to take him with them back to Ossus. Revealing that he was once a Padawan but was abandoned on Gelgelar prior to the war, Thule revealed that some members of the Fellowship were legitimate and their shrines were fabled to hold ancient Force-based machinery. Intrigued, Kenobi took Thule along with him to the main shrine on Vaynai to speak with the Shriners there. After much debate the leaders of the Fellowship agreed to disband the group of pilgrims if the Jedi Order in turn guaranteed that they would protect the Shrines. Agreeing, the Order used its political backing to declare the Shrines as Jedi facilities and used them as chapter houses as the Order's membership increased enough to staff them.

H'Drachi Seers

Inner Seers

A monastic religion native to the planet of Uyter, the Inner Seers resided in massive, mountain-straddling monasteries and sat in meditative repose while taking vows of silence which sometimes span decades. A common feature of their monasteries and temples were massive belfries used to ward off malignant spirits as well as prayer wheels spun to send positive energy into the Force. As the planetary governments attempted to win the favor of the Jedi Order, the Inner Seers were used as a bargaining chip by one of their own, Senator Male-Dee, as he attempted to appease the anti-Seer government of Uyter in exchange for Jedi protection of their interests in the post-war era. Learning of Male-Dee's less-then-admirable tactics, Grand Master Moorcé approached the leader of the Inner Seers and offered them refuge on Ossus should they wish to join the Order and shirk off the oppressive government sanctions of the Uyterian government. The leaders of the Seers confided in the Grand Master that Senator Male-Dee had been appointed as the Inner Seers' last chance of survival, that the planetary government had effectively waged a war against the monastic order, destroying two hundred monasteries and diminishing the order to a mere one hundred members. Appalled by the allegations against the Uyter government, Moorcé requested that the Order's newly developed ark ship be deployed to transport the Inner Seers off of Uyter and to Ossus. Packing away ancient artifacts, emptying massive libraries of histories etched in stone tablets, and gathering their prayer wheels and bells, the Inner Seers departed their homeworld to make their new home deep in the mountainous jungles west of Knossa on the planet Ossus. Erecting a massive palace on a hill completely enshrouded by jungle, the Inner Seers dressed in maroon and gold and refused to wield a lightsaber in favor of the quarterstaff. After the Republic began a crackdown against the Uyterian government, the Inner Seers who remained behind on their world ensured that all Forceful children born on the planet made their way to Ossus for training.
