- Organization Name: The New Way
- Classification: Propoganda Machine, grassroots movement, burgeoning terrorist threat
- Affiliation: Baros Sal-Soren
- Organization Symbol: The New Way symbol
- Description: A narrative device to represent the mood of the 'unwashed masses' of people that do not have a high enough Midi-chlorian count to usurp power with the aide of the Force. It is a ground swell movement built on the idea that the Jedi are a breeding ground for future Sith, and the Sith are responsible for the death of billions of lives in the name of their all powerful Force. Beyond that, Jedi have defied their stated beliefs and taken seats of power and governance, have committed atrocities in the name of peace and have led the children of countless parents on wars against their enemies the Sith.
- Headquarters: Ee'everwest Estate, Naboo
- Domain: N/A
- Notable Assets: N/A
- Hierarchy: Organizer, being the initial catalyst for the movement. Funder, the money people supporting the movement. Provocateur, public or private individuals who are slipping in New Way talking points into the public discourse. Street artist, those that express their New Way sentiments through works of art or so called 'vandalism'. Sympathizer, those who will come out to protests. Agents, those that lead protests and recieve funding for their work via shall corporations.
- Membership: As a grassroots political movement, membership is granted by the deeds and opinions expressed by the individual in quesiton. There is no formal application process. It is a 'show up and express yourself' situation. As a result, the organization attracts anti-Zambrano activitists, anti-Jedi activitists, anti-Force User activists, anti-Silver activists and a broad spectrum of other view points.
- Climate: Paranoia is starting to set in, as the movement gains traction and attention, it also gains detractors and infultrators.
- Reputation: Currently it is only seen as a nuisance.
- Curios: Plackards with various Jedi names or faces with the declaration, "Not our hero." Rubber bracelets with the words, "For the unblessed." Various other items associated with expressing The New Way dogma.
- Rules: Stick to the message: No Force Users in political power, no laws passed where the Force can be used to manipulate the decision, and not instant acceptance as the Jedi and Sith's word as law for the galaxy.
- Goals: The New Way seeks to unseat Force Users from places of power and install regimes that would protect the interests of those that do not have the advantage of Force sensitivity.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Started as a result of a half-dozen years of historical research and fact finding by Baros Sal-Soren, The New Way seeks to rewrite the accepted standard of how people think about Force Users in the galaxy. The pattern was clearly evident in history. Jedi desires power. Jedi becomes Sith. Sith leads armies of non-Force users that worship the Sith like a god or prophet of the Force. Jedi lead non-Force users as the heroes and saviours of the galaxy. A lot of non-Force users die. There is peace for a time, but then a Jedi again desires power. All the tears are shed for the fallen Jedi that die defeating one of their own, but no one speaks up for those that believe in the Force User leaders of either side of the millenia spanning conflict between light and dark sides.
Baros decided that if Force Users were suddently appearing in the galaxy for the first time, that there would be a fair number of people that would take a cautious approach to granting these Force Users all the accolades and reverence that they currently receive. The reality is that if any one suddenly exemplified superbeing-like powers, then that person needed to be treated as potentially dangerous to the masses until proven otherwise, not the other way around.
This meant that a cultural shift needed to take place. Baros set to work on building a network of influential politicians, financiers and cultural icons that agreed with the sentiments or could be swayed. Street artists have set to work expressing the slowly building movement, and Agents have begun assembling the first outward showings of uprising. The streets are talking.
The New Way's demands:
- No more governmental rule by Force Users.
- Jedi and Sith alike must relinquish power.
- Any and all steps to accomplish this are bridges to cross as at the time.
- The needs of the vulnerable must be put first.
- The vulnerable are those susceptable to mental manipulation via the Force.
- The vulnerable are those swayed by the godlike powers of Force Users.
- Force Users to be treated with a higher expectation in regards to the law.
- Genetics have given them a great advantage.
- Abusing that advantage is to be seen as an added element in criminal prosecution.
- Mind tricks will be outlawed entirely.
- New laws to be passed and court proceedings to take place in Force nullified environments.
- Enforced via either biological or technoligical methods.
- All laws passed or court decisions made in a place not meeting rigorous Force free standards to be considered void.
The New Way's slogans:
- For the unblessed.
- The blessed being those born with high enough Midi-chlorian counts to be trained in the Force so as to have an advantage over the average sentient life form.
- Not our hero.
- Specifically targetting Jedi who exemplify the historical trait of 'hero complex that trends towards a fall to the dark side'.
- Sith are monsters.
- While the Jedi are the breeding ground for the Sith menace, it cannot be understated how that The New Way understands that the single greatest threat comes from the Sith, and Dark Side idealogies.
- It is easier to convince people of the Sith being evil.
- This slogan alongside others lends more legitimacy to the other claims as it is so categorically true.
- Force User registration now!
- This is downplayed as not really a talking point of The New Way, but it is not kept away from rallies and protests.
