Jedi Order VI (Jedi Renaissance)

The sixth iteration of the Jedi Order was organized in the wake of the defeat of the Sith-led Galactic Dominion by Grand Master Roan Fel, the acting Supreme Chancellor of the newly formed Galactic Republic. Reestablishing the Jedi Order from the Imperial Knights which had served the Imperial Remnant since the Old Republic's defeat by the Eternal Alliance, Fel's Order retook the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and reinstituted the Councils of old as well as much of their ancient traditions of light side philosophy and public service. Unlike previous iterations of the Order, the Grand Master served as the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, providing guidance in dealings with the Sith armies which still controlled vast swaths of the galaxy. While a High Council governed the Order's members on Coruscant, the Masters of the Council had little control over the many Jedi Lords who operated loosely across the Republic, controlling their own fiefdoms and providing protection to their constituents without support from Coruscant. Throughout the four hundred years of its existence, the Order's leadership was plagued by weak and ineffective individuals, who failed to comprehend or deal with the Sith threat. With an ignorant and complacent High Council, the authority of the Jedi Grand Council of Lords was often viewed as the true voice of the Order by champions of the Force. Unsanctioned by Coruscant, the Grand Council met infrequently and allowed Knights Errant to patrol the dark reaches of the galaxy and mete out justice to the Sith marauders active there. Eventually, the Jedi High Council raised up a champion named Skere Kaan to secure peace in the galaxy. Kaan would strikeout across the galaxy, killing Sith Lords and rallying their former troops to his cause. The High Council was blindsided by Kaan's fall to the dark side however, and were slow to deal with his betrayal. Finally, the Grand Council of Lords rallied their forces as the Army of Light and led a purge of the Sith across the galaxy. When both the Sith and Jedi forces were destroyed at Ruusan, the Galactic Senate called for reformations in both the Republic and the Order. The government and the Order once more became separate entities, with the Jedi reorganizing under Grand Master Fae Coven, who disbanded the Army of Light and the Grand Council and brought the Jedi back under the control of Coruscant.
