New Jedi Order


 * This covers the in-universe New Jedi Order. For other uses of the term, see New Jedi Order (disambiguation).

The New Jedi Order was the organization led and primarily formed by Luke Skywalker in the years following the Battle of Endor (4 ABY). Although he managed to learn some of the Old Jedi Order's ways from holocrons and survivors of the Great Jedi Purge (such as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda), the New Order was quite different from its predecessor. It featured a new Jedi Code, a broadened view of the Force, and much fewer restrictions. The Jedi Council, orders prohibiting relationships, and centralized leadership were all done away with.

In later years, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, the New Order underwent more changes. The formation of the High Council drew the Order closer to the Galactic Alliance, creating a situation similar to its predecessor and the Old Republic, while the Potentium views of Vergere began to dull the New Order's view of the dichotomy between the Light and dark sides of the Force. It was during this time that Skywalker renewed the title of Grand Master.

The New Order was initially headquartered in the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4; after its destruction in the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, it transferred to Ossus, with the High Council relocating to the old Jedi Temple on Coruscant.

In 35 ABY, the Masters' Council became the new High Council of the New Jedi Order.

Jedi Order affiliated ships


To function adequately across the galaxy, the Jedi Order needed a number of starships to deliver its Knights into position. These ships came from a number of sources: some the New Republic supplied, such as XJ X-Wings, or StealthX starfighters. Others were donated or acquired from private sources. The Celador Sash was one such freigter, gifted by a trader saved by Obi-Wan Kenobi. Finally other ships were privately owned but were tied closely with the workings of the Jedi Order, such as the Millenium Falcon or Errant Venture. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, a number of used ships were acquired by the Praxeum to deliver the Jedi anonymously, as many of their starships had become well known throughout the galaxy. The Lady Starstorm was one such ship.
