Overview
The Jedi Order is a religious organization dedicated to the ethical practice and worship of the metaphysical energy known as The Force. The Order is led by a Jedi Council, usually comprising adept and wise Jedi Masters. Under the Jedi Council, the Order is split into several branches including the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Engineering and the MInistry of State. Currently the Order is populated by both Force-sensitives and ordinary sentients, with Force-sensitives usually occupying the separate ranks of Initiate, Jedi Padawan, Jedi Knight and Jedi Master. The Jedi Council is led by a Grand Master, presently Onasha Katr.
History
The Jedi Order is an ancient movement said to predate the formation of the Galactic Republic. The Order's earliest Masters are said to have originated from the planet Tython, located deep within the Core. It was here that the Order began to take shape, training Padawans and sharing ideas away from galactic civilization, which even then was only beginning to take shape. Some of the finest Jedi wisdom was reportedly created around this time, stored in Jedi Holocrons.
The Order suffered a great fracture early into its existence as one of the first confrontations between the energies known as the Light Side and the Dark Side resulted in the creation of Dark Jedi, who would later return as Sith following lengthy exile. After this event the Jedi Order joined the Galactic Republic, acting as peacekeepers and often a military force as conflict with the Sith extended through thousands of years, spawning multiple wars such as the Jedi Civil War, the Great Hyperspace War and the New Sith Wars.
Several decades ago the Jedi Order was thrown into disarray as Sith plots resulted in the reformation of the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire under Hiram Drayson. Order 66, a directive which accompanied this move, led to military action against all Jedi - decimating numbers and forcing the remnants of the Order into hiding.
