History
The Jedi Order was an organisation that consisted of Force-users that became Jedi.
Overview
Organization
For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were said to be the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic.
Their powers stemmed from the Force which gave a Jedi their power with this being an energy field created by all living things that surrounds all beings and bound the galaxy together.
Leadership of the Jedi Order was held by the senior masters who sat on the Jedi Council.
An ancient and honoured tradition within the Order was the one held by the Jedi Temple Guard. These masked sentinels consisted of Knights chosen for the assignment where they reported to the Jedi who was the head of security. Their identity concealing masks and formal robes was the ultimate expression of emotional detachment that was required in the pursuit of this higher calling. Temple Guards wielded imposing lightsaber pikes that were thick double-bladed weapons which produced a rare distinctive yellow blade.
The Jedi Code said:
- There is no emotion, there is peace.
- There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
- There is no passion, there is serenity.
- There is no chaos, there is harmony.
- There is no death, there is the Force.
Among their holdings was the Jedi Temple on Coruscant that was their headquarters.
Technology
A relic linked closely with the organization were the Holocrons that were ancient repositories of knowledge and wisdom that could only be accessed by those skilled in using the Force. Jedi used them to record and preserve their teachings with them being used to create a record for future generations seeking to understand the greater mysteries of the Force.
The traditional weapon of the Jedi was the lightsaber that was a device capable of generating a blade-like plasma powered by a Kyber crystal or other focusing item.
