Aing-Tii/Legends

The Aing-Tii were an order of alien monks that resided near the Kathol Rift. Their belief system held that all events were not necessarily predetermined, but rather guided. Unlike the Jedi or Sith, the Aing-Tii believed that the Force had neither a light nor a dark side, but was full of many colors, not unlike a rainbow. On the whole, they believed slavery to be one of the greatest evils in the galaxy, and were relentless in their persecution of those who thrived on it.

The Aing-Tii had a unique form of technology, the most startling example being a star drive that did not require traveling through hyperspace. Instead, their ships apparently made instantaneous jumps to whatever point in space they chose to go. Their ships had an organic look to them, leading some to speculate that the ships and the Aing-Tii were one and the same.

One of the Aing-Tii's special Force powers was the skill known as Flow Walking, the ability to leave an imprint of one's presence at any point in time. With the fact that they could travel through both time and space (the instantaneous jump), some believed that the Aing-Tii used the Force to manipulate time and space.

Though their interaction with larger galactic civilization was limited, the Aing-Tii did occasionally appear. They nursed Jorj Car'das back to health and taught him about the Force as they saw it, and destroyed the slaver Rei'Kas when he attacked the planet Exocron.

During his five-year journey of Force exploration after the Yuuzhan Vong War, Jacen Solo studied with the Aing-Tii.
