Jedi Order Corps and Subdivisions

More of my worldbuilding for the inner structure of the Jedi Order. This time focusing on the Corps and the schools of thought/ roles within the Order.

Some of these are canon, others are my own creation. The Jedi consolidating to one temple on Coruscant during the Ruusan Reformation is canon, but I’ve taken my own liberties with it. Without further ado, lore!

Prior to the Ruusan Reformation, there were a number of independent denominations of the Jedi. Most of them merged into one order based in the Coruscant temple during what was called the Reunification.

Many denominations had different ideas of what a Jedi should be/ how they should use their powers. As a result, Jedi from certain traditions tended towards certain jobs within the reunified order. The corps and their branches formed as a result of certain traditions and teachings being passed down by Jedi who occupied certain roles.

The corps aren’t administrative divisions. Individual Jedi have their corps and branch affiliation listed on file as a marker of what they specialize in/ what they’re trained to do. Jedi are selected for missions based on their corps and the specifics of the mission, and answer to whichever body sent them on the mission. (see my Jedi Order Bureaucratic Structure)

Reunified Jedi Order:

One permanent location on Coruscant

Wayfinders:

Wandering Jedi who are technically members of the Order & follow its precepts but don't answer to the Council

Nonspecific:

Individual members can and do have corps/ division affiliations, but the group as a whole doesn't have a corps/ division affiliation

Usually part of the Sentinels or EduCorps

People aren’t selected to be trained for these jobs it’s all volunteer work

A lot of people do it part-time or for short periods, but a few folks make it their permanent gig

Maintenance workers:

Sometimes someone says “what if instead of going on missions I patched all the holes in our drywall” and why would they stop them

Lots of part-time volunteers

Most are Sentinels, because their philosophy encourages learning random useful skills

Quartermasters:

Distribute supplies

The Order buys stuff in bulk and then Jedi pick it up from the quartermasters office

Kitchenmasters:

Jedi way of saying chef

Transport mechanics:

Do you know a Car Person? Imagine if they were a monk.

Accountants:

The most dedicated to preserving the Jedi way of life of any group in the Order

Without these unthanked warriors the Jedi Order would’ve been destroyed by late-stage capitalism

Most are Lore Keepers

Lawyers:

Usually hired from the outside

Inspired by "Jedi Counsel” on ao3

Sometimes a Jedi goes to law school

Temple Guards:

Protect the temple and are its first responders

Based on the lore from "Nameless"

Very connected to the living force within the temple

A little spooky!

Education Corps:

Advance in rank via academic achievement

Maven is the title equivalent to Knight

Can have multiple padawans at one time (but usually don’t)

Lore Keepers:

Strongly believe in the importance of academics

Believe knowledge is the path to connection with the Force

Based on "The Librarian's Lineage"

Preceptors:

Teaching is hugely important to the Jedi, and all Jedi teach & learn how to teach to some degree, but for Preceptors it’s their main focus

Like the MedCorps it has a lot of transfers

Normal Preceptors:

Classroom teachers

Have formal education training

Either work for the Department of Classes or the Department of Primary Classes

DoC and DoPC are roughly the same thing, except the DoPC is for the general education classes all Jedi take as children and the DoC is for elective and continuing education classes

Battlemasters:

Teach lightsaber classes

Have formal education training

Inspired by "Careless to Let It Fall" on ao3

Main differences are that there’s more than one & they take education classes

Crèchemasters:

One lead crèchemaster and two-ish assistant crèchemasters per every 6-ish younglings

Formal training in early childhood education

Must serve as an assistant crèchemaster before being a lead crèchemaster

Assistant crèchemasters are from "aphelion" on ao3

Exploration Corps:

One-on-one apprenticeships

Rarely in the temple (unless they have a padawan, when they’re required to be there more often)

Usually have a bed in a communal room at the temple instead of their own apartment

Use Knight title. Yes this is sometimes confusing

Vanguards:

Wandering explorers/ patrol the galaxy

Instead of responding to specific requests they visit places & are available if anyone wants their help

Specific purpose is to make sure the Jedi don’t neglect/ are unaware of certain parts of the galaxy just because it hasn’t requested Jedi aid in a while

Seekers:

Find potential Jedi and offer them a place in the Order

Bond with new initiates and ease their transition into the Order

Archaeologists:

Expertise in Force-temple ruins

An undead Sith~ sleeping in your bed. Who you gonna call? Ghost! Busters!

Work closely with the Lore Keepers

Most likely to become Wayfinders or leave the Order (by percentage not numbers)

“Former Jedi who got really interested in a niche of archaeology without many Force-related ruins” is a thing in the archaeology community

They can work on normal digs but the Senate won’t approve sending them/ use of Jedi funds

Medical Corps:

MedCorps padawans are very rare. Most members transfer in from another corps

Student healers from other corps have a healing mentor in charge of their healer training, separate from their lineage-master

Healer is the equivalent title to Knight. Healers-in-training are called Student Healers, no matter what their rank is

Knight Corps:

Knights being a fifth corps

This is the corps we see most in canon

One-on-one apprenticeships, Knight title

Guardians:

Focus on fighting abilities & lightsaber combat

Consulars:

Negotiators, ambassadors, diplomats

Focus on Force abilities

Sentinels:

Focus on non-Jedi skills such as hacking

Considered a midpoint between Guardians and Consulars

Shadows:

Jedi spies

Answer to the High Council

Watchfolk:

Permanent/ long-term posting within a system

Agriculture Corps:

Focus on nature-related abilities

Grow most of the food for the Order

Very involved in disaster relief work

Rarely in the temple & usually have a bed in a communal room instead of a personal room

Have long-term postings & typically get settled there

Padawans are assigned to a group rather than an individual

Maven is the Knight-equivalent title

The chapter that inspired this whole project

Terraformers:

Large-scale Force usage

Can revitalize uninhabitable areas

Use the Force to rapidly speed up regrowth, kickstart life on planets where there is none, etc.

Conservationists:

Don’t believe in using the Force on the scale that Terraformers do

Use the Force to help individual plants grow, stave off rot and parasites, connect with animals, etc.

Beastmasters:

Creature specialists

Force-sensitive animal control

Inspiration

[gallivantingheart]

Like Starlight: The Glossary

a/n: Lore so deep that the fic needs a dictionary? yes!

Martine: The setting of our story. A lovely seaside town in this unnamed world, known for its mix of old-world buildings and charm with new-world technology. Very edwardian in terms of typical era identifiers and fashion.

Familiar: An animal companion for magic users, often there as a lifelong guide on an individual's journey through magic. They can help hone and control powers for those just starting out and have a high sensitivity to other aspects of the magic world that magic users may not have. They often seek their own masters (no matter how unwilling either party may seem)

Kitchenmaster: A type of magic user that specialises in magic of the home. Great with cleaning, house maintenance and are often very warm, inviting people. Never not seen with an apron or cleaning cloth.

Potionsmaster: A type of magic user that specialises in potions and similar styles of magic, which are usually physical and used on the person. Often are green thumbs as well, which benefit their craft. Can smell a little odd.

Class _: Magic users are tiered by class, which starts at E and ends at A. In order to advance a level, serious studies must be taken with an annual test to pass. Note: Class S is a limited class, held only by those who reside on the High Council.

Augur: A type of magic user, like psychics, that specialise in reading the future in various ways. Some Augurs have their own natural third sight, others develop it through rituals such as tarot card reading and palmistry. The name is taken from an old priest term in ancient Rome, who would predict the will of the gods.

Spellmaster: A type of magic user that specialises in spell casting, the meta-physical. There are many subspecialties under this, including but not limited to: those that specialise in rituals and dances, those that strictly study curses. The optional feminine term is Spellmistress.

Sigils/Charms: Shapes or markings that can be added in any way to an item to imbue a certain quality to it, such as carving one for strength into a load bearing wall or sewing one into a winter coat to make it lightweight.

Chimney dragon: A species of mythical animal that likes to reside in chimneys - tight warm, smoky spaces. They are an invasive animal that puffs soot and fires down chimneys at inopportune times and can corrode brickwork.

Casters: Slang term used among magic users for any other magic user, spellcaster or not.

Aria: The neighbouring Country to Martine, known as the Land of Melodies. Known for its extravagant architecture, vibrant with colour and living population exceedingly talented in the fine arts. A little bit French in fashion, a little bit Russian in architecture. Currently ruled by King Rodolfo, a widower, and his sole heir, Princess Seoyun. A hostile land, prejudiced against magic users.

The Sight: A term used for mortal or non-magic users that can see through magical glamours or vision-altering spells. Most of those with The Sight can see mythical animals as well.

Crystalmaster: A type of magic user that specialises in the use of crystals in any sort of practice. Their spells, unlike most Spellmasters, rely on the physical. You can almost hear them before you see them, with all the charms and crystals with them at any given time.

Phantoms: Entities of dark magic that are attached to inanimate objects to feed off the soul of the owner. They are usually attached to the object by a magic user with malicious intent and are only set loose on a soul by word/signal of said magic user.

The Kaononai: A butchered, slang term for “The Faceless One”. A mythical entity that stalks its prey both day and night, looking for a face to claim as their own. It has a distinct scent of forget-me-nots and sounds like ripping paper. Familiars and some domestic animals are especially attuned to their presence.

Shieldmaster: A type of magic user that specialises in all forms of protection magic (spells, potions, talismans, etc.) Choi Seungcheol, first of his name, is the only known Shieldmaster.

Warlock: A male-presenting magic user of evil or negative power. Alternatively called a Sorcerer (gender-neutral term)

Sorceress: The optional feminine term to Sorcerer. A female-presenting magic user of evil or negative power.

Wizard: A male-presenting magic user - can use both good/positive or evil power. Most wizards are inclined to positive use, though. The optional female term is Witch.

Wand: A magic tool used by most magic users, particularly those following a Spellmaster path. Used to refine magic and spells - without the use of a wand, spells and other magic can spiral out of control or spread too thin for the full, intended effect. Most magic families have their own Wand-maker contacts. All wands are made unique to the user as they are an extension to the body and magic.

The Vine Principle: An advanced spell used to separate and bind a magic user’s magic from their body. As a side effect, this incantation shrinks the bound magic user in size to approx. 5cm (1.9 inches)

High Council: The governing and archival body for magic users, detached from all international and political bias.

Very very excited about the new @neumann.berlin studio monitors that were installed recently in the Landslide Control Room. Absolutely love the depth, clarity, and precision of the KH310’s paired with the KH750 sub. New monitors mean even better mixes!

The cooking competition was conducted in St.Terersas college by the Department of Home Science and B.VOC Food Processing Technology in association with Nestle India Pvt. Ltd. The competition was conducted in a Google Meet platform from 22nd to 26th October. The key ingredient was Maggie coconut milk powder. The platform helped the students to improve their cooking skills  and also helped them to improve their confidence in their interested area.
