Paladin

Paladins of Chatos Academy were the forerunnes of the Jedi Knights.

Behind the scenes
'Paladin' is a historical order of Knights; however the word is more known in modern fantasy for fictional monastic orders of holy Knights with supernatural (actually divine) powers, more or less like the Jedi. If Jedi are described as 'knights' in the Star Wars works, then 'Paladins' is an appropriate name for an ancient order of holy warriors; however it's not clear what the word 'Paladin' is meant to describe for those early members of the Chatos order and what differientated them from proper 'Knights'; we can assume that the Pre-Republic Paladins seemed to be supernatural and holy to those who didn't know the Force 'religion' yet, before being 'demoted' to simple Knights in the Galactic consensus.
