Hey hey,
So here is what I propose, but if I have missed something crucial just say so. We cant make everyone 100% content however but I hope this is a fair "middle way" and that it offers opportunities for both Jedi and non-jedi force users to be taught and find a place for some bonding and RPing together.
Feedback/input???

The Republic force Enclave!
The Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order has long history together. The light side of the force has always been a centerpiece of the democratic idea that is the commonwealth of the Republic. The present is no different but chaos has struck the galaxy and the path of the jedi is no longer as clear as it ones were.
Times change and during the recent jedi schism the jedi order officially detached its support of the Republic and removed themselves as the Republics prime force users.
Not all jedi agreed on this and many remained behind forming their own jedi enclave as Republic Jedi under the premise that the Republic was too quickly abandoned.
Despite these jedi that remained there was no question about that the capacity of the Republic had been severely crippled. The Force during this era of chaos behaved chaotic and people with an affinity for the force becoming a more and more common sight. To not have an understanding and protection against this posed a great threat to any nation in the Galaxy. New ways of approaching this crucial matter lead to the formation of a school for force users that while under jedi supervision were not jedi themselves.
Present organisation
In the Galactic Republic the Force users form two groups;
The Republic Jedi order and
the Republic Force Academy.
The Republic Jedi are strict jedi, following the jedi code of old and leading their lives inside the Republic with the belief that the ancient bond between the state and the Jedi Order is vital to uphold.
As Republic Jedi one serve as defender and advisor to Republic officials whenever required.
Jedi are not allowed any position of power within the Republic Government and are for example refused a seat in the senate. This is upheld both by the Republic and the Jedi order itself.
The Jedi has sworn to protect the light of the Republic and its democratic ideals giving them an honorary position within the commonwealth but still a body with independence toward the state.
The Republic Jedi are however funded by the state.
As servants of the Republic they are also tasked with the responsibility of supervising and controlling the Force Academy, being the neutral garants that the school for force users remain a power of light.
Inside the Force Academy any force sensitive capable fo following the light side of the force is welcome to study and the bond between the Force Academy and the Jedi are a strong one where it is more common than not to see Jedi Knight teach the way of the force to the students of the Academy. The jedi only offer to train the force users in the force powers and direct the training so that the force wielder understand and recognizes how to avoid the dark side of the force. They do not teach the jedi code although advice and suggestions on how to lead ones life in general to avoid the dark side temptations are fairly common.
Students of the force academy are more free in regards to making a career inside the Republic and students from both branches are even encouraged to seek employment inside the Republic government to use their skills and knowledge to aid the Republic.
Thus, while a jedi can never be a member of the senate, a student in the Force Academy could become one or pursue any other career within the Galactic Republic or beyond.
The Jedi Order
The Republic Jedi are organized in a jedi enclave with locations spread to a few places within the Republic. Their lives are simple and monastic of nature. They follow the traditions of old with a stern view on themselves as servants first and foremost.
The Republic Jedi titles are:
- Grand Master (act as the front of the Order and offers a direct channel to the senate and the Supreme Chancellor)
- Council member (democratic body of masters)
- Master
- Knight
- Padawan
Within the Republic jedis responsibility lies to oversee and provide for the Jedi Academy.
The Force Academy
The Force users in the Force Academy lead civilian or military lives. They do however attend classes at the Academy to further their insight and level of skill of the force.
However, unlike Jedi, their military or civilian career defines what they are, not their level of force affinity.
The school also uses non-jedi as teachers.
Non-jedi that show promise can also become teachers in the Force Academy. Applying to the Force Academy means to meet and undergo a scrutinizing procedure with a jedi Master that approves or denies the new student and it is also a safety procedure that the Jedi approves teachers and Rector before they are given employment in the Force Academy.
There are two branches within the Force Academy:
- Civilian School: Apollo Foundation
- Military School: Institute of Paranormal Studies (IPS)
The Force Academy titles are:
- Rector
- Instructor
- Student
