Taras-chi (tradition)

The taras-chi was a Jedi debating "tradition" invented by Kyp Durron. Named after an insect native to Kessel, the technique was spontaneously created by Durron in order to hide his true feelings on the matter of Jacen Solo's ascention toward mastery from Chief of State Cal Omas and Admiral Niathal. The taras-chi is a member of a debating body who is appointed to float ideas that run counter to the accepted way of thinking in order to test the validity of ideas. Luke Skywalker evidently approved of this idea and began using the new tradition of taras-chi during Council meetings.
