Jedi Gladiator

A Jedi gladiator is a Jedi from the order who swears to fight mercilessly for his or her order. Jedi gladiators were highly trained in their younger years, taken into training at the age of three as other Jedi classes are.

History
Jedi gladiator: "I swear to protect the Jedi Temple and Jedi Order from the Sith and any who stand in our way of assimilating peace to the galaxy."

Grand Master: "Rise."

-The oath of a Padawan who chooses to be a gladiator.

BBY
In the Before Base of Yavin era (or BBY) the gladiators were founded. They were expert fighters and were strong with the force. Many who became gladiators were unstable, some commited suicide or killed other Jedi. The force was usually unstable within Sith Lords or regular Jedi as well, however, gladiators were intensly strong and would not stop at anything, especially if they were being taken over by the Force. Some say this is impossible, though in the BBY era, this has happened many times before.

In BBY, there was a war involving Jedi gladiators throughout controversy about their powers and ability. Jedi Grand Master Yoda promised this would never happen, but he could not forsee the war. The war went on about fifteen years throughout the time period.

Eventually, the Jedi gladiators were killed in Order 66 at the Jedi Temple on Courascant or wherever else they were stationed. There were vertually no escapers and every Jedi in Order 66 was unlucky. One famous surviver of Order 66 in the Jedi gladiators was named Rian Exmy who escaped to Komino, later to be killed by Darth Vader as he carries out Order 66 and swears to kill the last gladiator. Rian did fight well and was responsible for most of Vader's toops' deaths.

4 ABY
In this year, the gladiators were refounded along with the New Order. They continued to use the same oath, however, it was challenged and the Council argued over whether they should change it or not. It was eventually kept the same, even after Luke Skywalker's death.
