The Jedi Order

History

The Jedi Order is believed to have come about around 25,000 BBY on the planet of Tython. They were a monastic order of mystical warriors who followed the paths of harmony, knowledge, serenity and peace. The Tython Jedi were credited with the induction of a ceremony where students would forge their own Force enhanced swords as a part of their Knighthood ceremony.

Originally a society of researchers and philosphers, the Jedi found it natural to promote peace and harmony. As time passed the Jedi changed from advocates of civilization to its defenders. This probably took place around 25,053 BBY when the Old Republic took the Jedi Order into their fold to serve as its defenders.
