Jedi Ambassador



The Jedi Ambassador was a Jedi Knight who had followed the teachings of the Jedi Consulars. A specialization undertaken by a few, the Ambassador served as representatives of the Galactic Republic, and advisers to the Galactic Senate's members.

Unlike the Jedi Diplomat, Ambassadors rarely were involved in the making of treaties or signing of documents. Their job was to be the public face of the Republic, traveling as representatives to newly discovered worlds or to government palaces whose people wished to lobby for membership in the galactic government. Serving directly under the Council of Reconciliation, the Ambassadors worked alongside the Galactic Republic Diplomatic Corps, and were sent in ahead of other ships to ensure the that a planet's military would not designate them a threat.

Occasionally, certain Ambassadors would be assigned as a personal adviser to a Galactic Senator. Requests for an appointed adviser could come from a Senator, and would be directed to the Reconciliation Council for review. Many Supreme Chancellors requested a personal adviser, often someone they were close with or had past experiences with. Such was the case at the conclusion of the New Sith Wars when Chancellor Tarsus Valorum requested Knight Johun Othone to assist him in maters until his term ended. Jedi High Council member Master Adi Gallia had a very close professional relationship with Chancellor Finis Valorum as of 33 BBY. Their relationship was opportunistic in that the High Council received an influx of information from the Office of the Supreme Chancellor. Both Master Jorus C'baoth and Knight Anakin Skywalker served as advisers to Palpatine, C'baoth helped Palpatine while he was a Senator, and Skywalker was appointed as war-time adviser during the Clone Wars. The latter relationship grew as Palpatine had planned, as he was actually the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious.
