Jedi High Council

yjm9SXm.jpg

The Jedi High Council is the primary leadership body of the entire Jedi Order. At present, the High Council is seated on the Deep Core planet, Tython, following the events on Jedha. The Jedi Council of this era is composed of roughly twelve members at maximum capacity. Each member is elected from among the ranks of the Jedi Masters. The Jedi Council is led by the Grand Master, who is the recognized leader of the entire Jedi Order, and the Master of the Order, who is the elected leader of the Jedi Council itself. The Council sets the agenda for the entire Order, and its members are considered the prime examples of true Jedi: both in power and in wisdom.

The Jedi High Council's members hold the highest clearance among the Jedi of the Order. They alone are allowed to enter, or grant entrance, to the holocron vaults. They also provide (or deny) access to any ship in the Order's possession above the class of a personal starfighter or transport. This tightening of security was imposed after the Skyward Sword incident on Jedha. Members of the High Council also chaired the lower councils that governed the Order (i.e., the Council of First Knowledge) and dispensed judgement whenever a Jedi broke the tenants of the Order; this judgement could include simple reassignment, demotion, or, in the most extreme cases, exile.

Members:
  1. Wyck (Grand Master)
  2. Vacant (Master of the Order)
  3. Bruce Guleya(Caretaker of First Knowledge)
  4. Vacant (Battlemaster)
  5. Fennex Zeerda (Arbiter of the Order)
  6. Rem Shivaaga
  7. Thalia Corliss
  8. Vacant


Council of First Knowledge

The Council of First Knowledge was one of the four lower Jedi Councils and oversaw the preservation and teaching of knowledge in the Jedi Order. They determined what curriculum was taught across the various Jedi temples and academies in the galaxy, what was deemed forbidden to be taught, and largely determined the criteria for Knighthood. The Council was also responsible for assigning and undertaking missions to reclaim lost Jedi knowledge, or to secure and lock away any artifact known to be of Sith or Jedi Exile origin.

This Council was led by the Caretaker of First Knowledge, who also held a seat on the High Council, and was also based on Tython in the Spire of First Knowledge at the Jedi Temple. At any time, it was composed of five Jedi Masters, including the Caretaker, all of whom were regarded as some of the greatest scholarly minds in the Order. Each member had the authority to grant or deny access to restricted information in the Jedi Archives. They were also responsible for guarding the holocron vaults and overseeing the Jedi Shadow Program.

Members:
  • Bruce Guleya (Caretaker of First Knowledge)


Council of Reconciliation

The Council of Reconciliation was composed of the Jedi Order's foremost diplomats and handled two very important tasks: conducting diplomacy with foreign powers, such as the Republic, and overseeing the intake of independent Force-sensitives and redeemed dark siders seeking admittance into the Order. Led by the Arbiter of the Order, a member of the High Council, this council was responsible for dispatching Jedi Knights and Masters to resolve diplomatic disputes and forging diplomatic ties between foreign governments and the Jedi Order.

The Council was also tasked with administering rigorous admittance tests to unconventional candidates seeking to join the Jedi Order, whether they be independent Force-sensitives trained outside the Order, or former dark siders who returned to the light. These tests were designed to weed out potential spies or those who did not possess the right frame of mind to join the Jedi Order. Like the Council of First Knowledge, it was composed of five members at maximum capacity.

Members:
  • Fennex Zeerda (Arbiter of the Order)


Council of Mastery

The Council of Mastery is the most recent Jedi Council to be created and had the sole purpose of overseeing and administering the Trials of Mastery: a series of rigorous questions meant to determine a Jedi Knight's readiness to advance to the coveted rank of Jedi Master. Like the other lower Jedi Councils, this council was chaired by a member of the Jedi High Council, who served as its only permanent member. Its other four members were rotated from among the existing roster of Jedi Masters in the Order, as part of their duties as a Master in the Order.

Members:*
  • Vacant (Chair)



Jedi Command

The Jedi Command, also known as the Council of Command, is the final lower-level Jedi Council. Led by the Battlemaster, a member of the Jedi High Council, and composed of five members as with the other lower-level Jedi Councils, Jedi Command oversees the militaristic aspects of the Jedi Order. These aspects include intelligence gathering, communications, and the managing of the Jedi war effort. Jedi Command also oversees the defense of the Jedi temples across the galaxy, and, thus, manages the Jedi Temple Guard Program.

Members:
  • TBA (Battlemaster)

BIOGRAPHY
Rem Shivaaga was born on the Chagrian homeworld of Champala. His life along with the other natives of Champala lived on the looming horizon of war, but the devastation the galaxy was facing didn't directly impact them until the Exiles and their Slave Marauders were on the retreat. When the war finally came, Rem's innate Force sensitivity was noticed quickly by the corrupters. As his world was ravaged, the Exiles tore him from his home and family, forcing him into their servitude with the lures of power and the hate he suffered within his heart.

Rem was a natural warrior, and as young and inexperienced he was, his mind could easily be twisted by the Exile invaders. The Jedi eventually came to liberate Champala. A fierce, but swift battle, the Exiles knew they had won and their goals accomplished: Champala was scarred, the strongest Chagrian were broken through slavery, and any Force senstive children had either joined the exiles, or have been permanently scared by the corrupting nature of the darkside. Rem and his family though, were one of the few who were rescued by the Jedi. It was a bittersweet meeting, but as soon as they were united, Rem was recruited within the Jedi Order. They recognized the power in the young Chagrian; impressed by his resilience and strength, it was decided he must join the Guardians in their fight against their exiled brothers. After a tearful goodbye, Rem began the long and winding path to becoming a Jedi. With the war still raging, Rem learned as the army moved, chasing the Exiles out of the Inner Rim.

Rem begun fighting alongside a Jedi Master who helped the Chagrian achieve his knighthood. War hardened Rem over the years; the memories of the devastation caused by the Exiles on Champala never left him and it was a constant reminder of why he continued to fight. Decades of seeing the devastation that followed wherever the Exiles stepped, Rem's own passion to rid of them burned stronger. It drove the Chagrian Jedi as he pushed himself to do everything in his power to erase the Exiles from the galaxy, his efforts earning him a spot on the Jedi council, despite his young age. A survivor of the Tragedy at Ilum, Rem has refused to retreat to Jedha and has gathered many like-minded Jedi to his cause, declaring themselves the Crusaders.

Personality

Rem is a man who burns with determination, a man who will pursue his goals to the end once his path is set. A witness of much destruction at the hands of those he hunts, Rem bears a great amount of guilt over the pain of those harmed by the Exiles. A shrewd warrior and a cunning leader, Rem leads the Crusader Jedi as they continue to prod at the scattered remnants of the Exiles armies.

BIOGRAPHY
From an early age, Thalia showed an affinity for people. She was always at the center of all the Jedi gatherings, meeting as many as she could and making many connections. It was this charisma that allowed her such a meteoric rise in the Jedi Order. By far the youngest member of the Council, she earned her seat quickly as she made alliances between the Jedi and other friendly forces. Her diplomatic skills are unrivaled in the Council, though many disapprove of her quid pro quo politician-like methods, condemning them as un-Jedi like.

Thalia was another of the Jedi Councilors absent at the Battle of Ilum. As soon as she heard of the power the Exiles had harnessed there, she set out in search of a means to either combat or destroy such a weapon.
Personality
Thalia was young when she first joined the Council and her brash and unapologetic attitude have caused issues on more than one occasion. Nevertheless, she is adept at playing the political game and gaining allies for the Jedi. She is cunning and sly, able to manipulate others in a way that has caused a great deal of uncertainty amongst her fellow Jedi, and she has shown little hesitation to seek out and destroy the Exiles using most-violent tactics and tools.
