Jedi Service Corps (Jedi Renaissance)

The Jedi Service Corps was an organization formed by the Jedi High Council during the Inter-Sith Wars era as a branch of the Jedi Order's academy. Membership within the Service Corps was voluntary, and many Jedi Knights and Masters would attach themselves to the Corps as they followed their path in the Force. Despite this, many of its members had failed to pass their Trials and therefore could not proceed in moving up in rank within the Order. The Council of Reassignment was eventually created to govern the Service Corps and assign failed Padawans or Initiates to serve in one of the branches.

Overview
Founded in 3,865 BrS, the Jedi Service Corps was created by the Jedi High Council to assist the galaxy heal from generations of instability. Sending farmers, educators, and healers out into the Republic, the Service Corps helped restore many planets to their former strength, as well as helping to bring alien worlds into the Republic.

The Service Corps was organized out of existing groups within the Order and codified into four distinct groups at its inception: the Agricultural Corps, the Medical Corps, the Educational Corps, and the Exploration Corps. Serving both a humanitarian role and a political one, the Service Corps' first mandate was to serve the people and elevate the standard of living across the galaxy.

During the centuries of fighting and desperation that defined the New Sith Wars, membership in the Service Corps was considered an honorable alternative to serving in the Army of Light and commended by the High Council, which took a negative view of the Army's existence.
