Battle meditation

In the Star Wars universe, Battle Meditation is a manifestation of The Force first made famous by the ancient Jedi Odan-Urr and Nomi Sunrider. Most of what is known about this rare Force power is learned from the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. In the game, the power is used by the character Bastila Shan and when used instills in the user's allies a greater morale in battle, and reduces the enemy's will to fight. Using the Force, she can coordinate entire fleets of ships allowing them to perform at their maximum efficiency, acting as one to counter every enemy move quickly and effectively. The power is exclusive to Bastila in the game, and is actually a plot element rather then an actual usable ability. This is explained in the game by saying that Battle Meditation can only be used when the user is in deep concentration, thus it cannot be used while the character is in the heat of battle.

In Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, Battle Meditation is a usable ability. Using the power grants a bonus to attack rolls, damage, Will saves, and increased Vitality Point Regeneration to the player's entire party. At higher levels, it can also impair enemies.

Emperor Palpatine and Grand Admiral Nial Declann also had this Force power, and used it to great effect in the Battle of Endor. Jedi Council members Yarael Poof and Oppo Rancisis were also skilled in the use of Battle Meditation, utilising it in both the The Stark Hyperspace War and the Clone Wars.
