Jedi High Council (New Jedi Order)

The Masters' council of the New Jedi Order was the leading body of the Order, consisting of the Order's Jedi Masters. The Masters' council should not be confused with the High Council of the Galactic Alliance. The former was a body of Jedi Masters autonomous from the Alliance government and was responsible for the leadership of the Order; the latter was an advisory body to the Alliance Chief of State, consisting of six Jedi and six non-Jedi, which ensured coordination between the Jedi and the Alliance government. The Masters' council made all final decisions for the New Jedi Order and its members; the Jedi on the High Council had no direct control over the Alliance government, and the Alliance officials on the High Council had no direct control over the New Jedi Order. How much control the Masters' council had over the Knights in the Order was a matter of debate. Some Masters, such as Mara Jade Skywalker, believed that Jedi Knights should be compelled to comply with the council, but Luke Skywalker insisted compliance should be voluntary. The relationship between the Masters' council and the Alliance government was often tense, and a matter of debate within the Council. Some Masters, such as Corran Horn and Kenth Hamner, believed the New Jedi Order was primarily responsible to serve the needs of the Alliance, which had funded the Order during the reconstruction after the Yuuzhan Vong War and even built the new Jedi Temple; others, such as Mara Jade Skywalker and Kyp Durron, believed that giving preference to the Alliance's interest made the Jedi mercenaries, and the Jedi should preserve peace without favoritism, even at the expense of the Alliance, and should not take orders from the Chief of State. The Masters' council usually assembled either at the new Jedi Praxeum on Ossus or else in the new Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
