Battle meditation

Battle Meditation is a manifestation of the Force which instills in the meditator's allies a greater morale in battle and reduces the enemy's will to fight. Using the Force, one can coordinate entire fleets of ships, allowing them to perform at maximum efficiency, acting as one to counter every enemy move quickly and effectively.

This Force-power was first made famous by the ancient Jedi Odan-Urr, Arca Jeth and Nomi Sunrider. It was also practiced by Bastila Shan, as well as later Jedi Council members Yarael Poof and Oppo Rancisis, who used it in both the Stark Hyperspace War and the Clone Wars.

It was probably performed briefly by Qui-Gon Jinn shortly before the last skirmish with Darth Maul. During that time, the red gates prevented any combat from occurring, thus allowing Qui-Gon to meditate without interruption.

Battle Meditation was not merely province of the light side; Emperor Palpatine and Grand Admiral Nial Declann had also mastered the technique, and used it to great effect in the Battle of Endor. With his death, the shock of the sudden removal of this influence threw the fleet into chaos and allowed the Rebel fleet to defeat them.

Also did the former guardian of the Emperor's treasure planet, Joruus C'baoth, when recruited by Grand Admiral Thrawn.

 * Tales of the Jedi: The Golden Age of the Sith
 * Tales of the Jedi: Knights of the Old Republic
 * Tales of the Jedi: Dark Lords of the Sith
 * Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
 * In this game, battle meditation is exclusive to Bastila Shan, 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.
 * Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
 * In this game, 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.
 * The Siege of Saleucami
