The Jedi Orders
This term has so many meanings for so many. But is it really that difficult to understand? The Jedi are people who follow a specific code, the Jedi Code. The Code calls for a number of things, but there is one factor that unifies it. The focus and belief in the Light.
The Light, that is another thing that can be left to interpretation, but it boils down to a specific focus, not using the Force to push your will on another. The Sith and the Ren, use the Force to intimidate, to control, and to destroy. The Jedi seek to protect the balance, to allow the galaxy to make their own choices.
And within the belief in the Code and the Light, there are many paths. The Jedi Order of the Republic, the Shattered Order, formerly the New Jedi Order of the Alliance, the Silver Jedi Order, and those who walk the path between the orders, seeking to right injustice and bring the Light to the various corners of the galaxy. What is for certain, however, is that they are all working for the betterment of the galaxy, in their own way.
The Jedi Master Luke Skywalker has always said that the Force is a river, and the Jedi are just one cup from which to drink.
And within that cup? Many different colors and hues. Each Jedi Order focuses on its own path, whether it be active strikes against the Sith, defending common ground together, or looking deeper in the mysteries of the Force. However, when push comes to shove, you hit one Jedi Order and you’ll be finding the complete array of the Jedi striking back at you.
Even now, the Orders from the Alliance in Exile, New Republic, and Silver Jedi Order are working together to guarantee cooperation, and with the addition of the Jedi Praxeum and Jedi Academy Networks, working to assist neophyte Padawans in gaining the skills from across the galaxy, and a home among the factions. Force users and non alike will find peace and purpose among the Jedi.
Are you a militant wandering Jedi? The Shattered Order of the Alliance in Exile may be your home.
Are you an academic Jedi, seeking to learn the deeper mysteries of the Force?
The Jedi of the New Republic is a place your skills will be encourage your growth.
Do you prefer to bring your skills to help defend the galaxy and worlds under your command through whatever means open to the Jedi? The Silver Jedi Order may be right for you.
For those of you looking to defend the world of Tython, and wipe the stain of the dark side from the galaxy with whatever means necessary, the Lords of Light will be needing you.
Perhaps healing , and providing aid among a mixed group of Light Side focused beings is more your speed? Check out The Order of the Sacred Lotus.
Finally, are you a teacher? Willing to help neophytes learn their way, and providing a non-demoniational approach to learning? Consider instructing at the Jedi Praxeum!
And if you feel that these places may not be the perfect fit, know that you are welcome to come and go, move between the lines, and assist where your skills are the most useful.
