Selected Teachings of Jedi Knight Aji Halians (circa RY22,870)
The Jedi Code
Emotion, yet peace
Ignorance, yet knowledge
Passion, yet serenity
Chaos, yet harmony
Death, yet the Force
A Jedi must know WHEN to act. To stand by and let evil deeds happen unimpeded is to succumb to the Dark Side just as it is to openly give in to one.s fear and anger and hate. There are times when action is appropriate and when it is not. A Jedi must not act out of fear or petty anger, but out of calm rationale. When a Jedi IS moved to action, the Jedi must be swift and decisive, yet ever vigilant against the seductive emotions that will to lead towards the slippery slope that is the Dark Side.
The Dark Side expends much of its efforts and energies to disguise itself as the Light. A Jedi who is calm and at peace will know the difference and be able to tell the Dark from the Light. For this reason, a Jedi does not react from passionate emotion, but from peace. To live in harmony with the universe, with the Force, is WHY a Jedi acts. Bringing peace and justice to the sentients of the galaxy is a most rewarding endeavor when on the path of harmony, the path of the Light Side. As Jedi live, so they pass into the Force. The Jedi Way is not easy. It requires patience, courage, and honor. There is the path of the Jedi, and the path of the Dark Side. No other choices exist for those who can perceive the Force. If you are not acting as a Jedi, you are acting as an agent of evil. A Jedi does not act out of fear, anger, or aggression. A Jedi acts ONLY while calm and at peace. Revenge is the dream of the weak. The wise knows that no enemy is forever. The Jedi is merciful. The Dark Side spends most of its energies attempting to masquerade as the Light. It is for the Jedi to find and oppose Dark Side teachings and followers, to protect the galaxy from their insidious evil.
To live in harmony with the universe, with the Force, is WHY a Jedi acts. Bringing peace and justice to the sentients of the galaxy is a most rewarding endeavor when on the path of harmony, the path of the Light Side. As a Jedi lives, so will a Jedi pass into the Force.
On the Jedi
"A Jedi serves and protects the Republic from its enemies."
The Jedi protect the Republic from its internal and external enemies, ensuring the promise of its peace and justice. Jedi ties to the Republic are largely through the member of Ossus, where there is an administration set up for such. The Jedi are far from monolithic, though. .Some Jedi take up police powers, others prefer to heal or teach, as well as mediate disputes. Some serve in secluded roles and others liaison with the Republic military.
On certain worlds and in specific sectors, the Jedi have adapted to better serve the local citizenry and have sometimes evolved a unique and complementary tradition. The Jedi of Ossus have gained a certain preeminence in the Republic, but are far from the only Jedi serving the Force. Corellian Jedi rarely leave their sector and taken to a specifically committed relationship, and have been granted the honorary minting of Jedi Credits on the attainment of Mastery. The Teepo Jedi favor specialized pulse-wave blasters over the lightsaber. The Andwu Jedi of An-Kish in Chandrila Sector have taken a removed and secluded philosophy of the early Jedi and combined it with the service ethic of the modern Jedi along with the elements of their own unique tradition along with specific contributions towards the Jedi as a whole. They.ve produced a unique style of lightsaber combat, stronger in offense than the defense, in addition to their contributions towards Jedi philosophy in general and the specific tradition in their world and sector.
On the Force
"The Force is the source of a Jedi's strength. The Force is Life and Life is the Force."
The Force is created by life and takes its form in a broad energy field permeating everwhere, touching everything. Jedi are trained to sense, and later to manipulate, the Force. In sensing the ebb and flow of the Force, Jedi learn to distinguish disturbances in it. The most common disturbances are those that are most subtle, those created by the natural life cycle, of birth and death, of a pure course of events, though even some of these can be large, signifying momentuous acts of heroism and horrible tragedies.
The manipulation of the Force by those who are sensitive to it creates more noticeable, and usually much larger, disturbances. Using the assistance of the Force to enhance one.s own abilities creates small, but quite distinct, ripples. Using the Force to the bend the fabric of reality to the will of the Force User, especially in flashy displays of power outside of the natural flow of events, creates much larger disturbances. All of these ripples carry the mark of the Force User, allowing perceptive Jedi to note its identity.
The greatest strength of the Jedi is the power of luminous beings, not bound to their point identity or biology. To unite with the Force fully is to be able to harness the great power of the Light Side. Through such a Force-united Jedi, the Force can flow through like a tidal wave of Light. Before such clarity and peace, the cataclysmic rage of the Dark Side cannot stand. A true Jedi recognizes that that their strength is drawn not from themselves, but from the energy of life, the Force.
On the Dark Side
"The Dark is Empty and the path of the one without the strength of will to resist it's temptation."
The nature of the Dark Side is unchanging, though it continually masks its appearance. There is the Jedi Way. And the Dark Way. A Jedi who uses the Dark Side is no longer a Jedi. A Jedi who walks the dark path, walks to annihilation. Learning the Dark Side is to become infected with the violence and chaos of the Dark Side. Discretion and judgment will falter and the Jedi will walk the path to doom.
The Dark Side has always been sought by the petty, the weak, and the spiteful. Infinitely corrupting and evil, the Dark Side is a cruel master that will slowly exploit its hapless adept. Either intimidated or seduced into the power of the Dark Side, the energies of physical destruction are ready and quick to join the Force-user who will give into his fear and anger, unknowingly making oneself a slave to the Dark Side, for the pitiful darksider will either do the will of the Dark Side or be utterly consumed.
The powers granted by the Dark Side can only threaten the crude matter that is the universe, for all intents and purposes, to the non Force Sensitive. Such powers do inspire fear and obedience in the weak and weak-minded, but cannot touch the brightness that surrounds and binds the universe.
The Battlemaster walks the path closest the Dark Side, but must remained disciplined enough in the Jedi Way to not stray. A Jedi's credo is mercy and violence as the last resort. Though Aji never hesitates to defend the weak or protect the innocent, he resorts to bloodshed only when he must. Even then, he takes lives only when all other options have been exhausted
On the Sith
"The most terrible servants of the Dark Side yet encountered by the Republic..."
The Sith are not merely Jedi of a twisted philosophy, but the result of a unique culture.s pefected techniques for drawing on the power of the Dark Side. Once a Near-Human species of undetermined origin, they had a fateful encounter with dark Jedi fugitives fleeing the Republic and Jedi. Even before this momentous event in their history, the Sith had relatively perfected their sorcery. With the arrival of the dark Jedi who were to dominate the ancient Sith people, they congealed into an unholy hybrid which turned the insular and fragmented society into a unified and ambitious Empire.
Their empire was a golden age for the Dark Lords, but a horrible nightmare for the galaxy. The Sith Empire spread through the stars like a cancer, rapidly spreading terror and agony. Eventually, they were discovered by lost explorers from the Republic. Their internal infighting was projected outwards, towards the Republic. During the Great Hyperspace War and the hundred years of darkness that would follow, the Sith evil threatened the infect and consume the Republic.
The Jedi led in cleansing the Republic of the Sith evil, and later in the counterattack into the Sith Empire itself. The Sith turned on themselves as much as they turned on the Republic, though, and were utterly destroyed following the war. The Sith held enormous skill in luring Jedi to the Dark Side, as well as numerous deceptive tactics and strategies. Further, their sorcery was such that it caused minimal tremors in the Force, masking them as deceptively unobtrusive in their manipulations on the Force.
On Lightsabers
"A marvelous irony that a Jedi's final and most terrible choice is our most recognizable symbol."
A lightsaber in the hands of a fully trained Jedi can stand up to the technologies of modern warfare. Using only a lightsaber, a Jedi can protect himself from projectiles of all kinds and cut through all matter, given enough time and effort. Even so, the greatest Jedi seldom, if ever, ignite their blades. A Jedi.s strength, all of it, flows from the Force. The more a Jedi learns and masters the Force, the more a Jedi is joined with the luminosity that is the true reality and substance of the universe- the Force, and the less a Jedi needs a lightsaber.
Aji Halians. lightsaber is engineered for slightly superior offense, showing skill and a focus towards the art as taught by the Andwu Jedi. He favors a spiked emitter matrix, modified with slightly more power than normal and enhanced circuitry to offset it. Additionally, Aji has modified his lightsaber with a custom flash capacitor and discharge emitter matrix extension (complete unit has CR 5 and SP 6) that enables his lightsaber to use its charge to fire a pulse-wave blast (using the pulse-wave blaster skill) at -1D damage to 10m short range, 25m med range and 50m long range. Each shot drains 1/5 of the charge of his power cell. He usually keeps an extra spiked emitter matrix on his person and components to build another of each of his two styles.
