The Acolytes and Initiatives of the Sayu Ni Temple Enclave are a fierce bunch. Although there are less than three hundred practitioners left across the galaxy, the number is growing, and these force users come from a rich tradition. Having been in the hands of Mandalorian, Sith, and Jedi alike, the Sayu Ni Temple Enclave has created a unique culture.
At the peak of their training, full-time Initiates who are in the military division of The Diarchy train from 6am until 6pm, with six hours of the time dedicated to meditation and learning, and the other six hours spent on physical, mental, and emotional conditioning and on socialization. Initiates may learn about any aspect of the Diarchy military, and not just force use and infantry combat. For example, Diarch Initiates may be taught to pilot ships.
The Sayu Ni Temple Acolytes must accompany the members of the Diarch Enclave Council or Chancellorate on any mission that they choose.
SOCIAL INFORMATION
- Headquarters: Located primarily on Bastion, but Sayu Ni acolytes could be located anywhere that there is an Enclave.
- Goals: The ultimate goal of the defense force is to prevent attacks against The Diarchy, and protect people and places related to the Enclave.
- Reputation: The Sayu Ni Acolytes as an army have a reputation for being efficient and effective, but also undisciplined and foolhardy.
- Army Size: Small. The Diarchical interpretation of the force is new and uncomfortable, and practitioners are reluctant to stand up against the established forces of the Jedi and Sith. However, those who join the Sayu Ni Enclave find themselves among best friends .
- Composition: A typical "squadron" or team of Acolytes would look like this.
1x Jedi Master or Sith Lord OR Master Diarch
2X Jedi Knights OR Sith Apprentices OR Apprentice Diarchs
3X Jedi Padawans OR Sith Acolyte OR Diarch Initiates
Per their Sayu Ni training, all defense force squadron members carry both a lightsaber and a blaster pistol (of any sort).

With respect to NPCs, at the time that the Sayu Ni Enclave was reclaimed, there were only about three hundred Sayu Ni practitioners across the entire galaxy. This is a rare tradition, with a taboo reputation. However, the tradition is steadily growing...
