Corellian Jedi Corellian Jedi , or Green Jedi as they were known during the Cold War , were a reclusive sect of the Jedi Order serving the Corellian sector . Known for their distinctive customs and practices , the Corellian Jedi were highly independent and separate from the Order ' s central governing body , the Jedi High Council . Holding the well - being of Corellia over that of the Galactic Republic , the Corellian Jedi often butted heads with their traditional counterparts within the Order over how certain situations should be handled and where their duty lay . History . Old Jedi Order . During the time of the Galactic Republic , the Jedi Order recruited from the worlds of the Corellian sector , primarily Humans from Corellia itself . While these Force - sensitives were held to the same standard as any other Jedi , a time arose where a minor schism caused a large group of Corellian - born Jedi to return to their homeworld to establish a highly - fortified enclave within Coronet City to serve as a base for their operations . Taking missions only within their home sector , the Corellian Jedi were noted for their patriotism and wearing green robes in honor of the old Corellian flag . Developing their own customs such as the passing on of Jedi Credit s from master to apprentice and to friends when a Jedi was elevated in rank , the Jedi High Council was highly suspicious of the group ' s operations and saw them as even bordering on heretical . Permitting marriages among their ranks , long legacies and bloodlines formed such as the Halcyon family which was noted for producing many powerful Jedi Masters . As their families were not strictly Forceful , the Corellian Jedi forged strong bonds with the Corellian Security Force and aided in the capture of local criminals and smugglers . Among the criminal underworld , the Corellian Jedi were known for a reputation of a cold , unerring sense of duty which did not often make them friendly or pleasant . When the Cold War took hold of the galaxy in the aftermath of the Great Galactic War between the Republic and the Sith Empire , the Corellian Jedi retreated to Corellia and fortified themselves within the academy while the rest of the Order fled to Tython to regroup . When the Empire attempted to invade the planet at the start of the Galactic War , the Academy ' s Council bolstered the system ' s defenses and were able to rebuff the assault . Credited with holding off the initial assault , the enclave was eventually sacked and the Council and its leader , Master Arfan Ramos were slain and the threat of the Corellian Jedi eliminated . By the time of the New Sith Wars , the Corellian Jedi had reestablished themselves under the leadership of a Jedi Lord and were more independent than ever . As the High Council continued to bungle its efforts to stop the expansion of the New Sith and the destruction of the Republic , the Corellian Jedi held their sector and rebuffed any and all Sith encroachment . Despite their insular policies , when the Jedi Grand Council called for aid the Corellian Jedi Lords rallied their banners , swearing their fealty to Lord Hoth and the Army of Light . In a massive campaign on Ruusan , Lord Berethon of Corellia led his vassals and the Corellian Jedi against the Brotherhood of Darkness and emerged as the only Lord to survive aside from Lord Valenthyne Farfalla . Despite their heroics during the battle , the Corellian Jedi were not heralded as heroes by the High Council but turned away as dissidents and heretics . Disgusted with Coruscant politics , Berethon and his followers returned to Corellia where they would remain in near total isolation for generations . During the final decades of the Republic some Corellian Jedi were more amiable to working with the High Council . Indeed Master Thame Cerulian , a member of the Corellian Jedi , would go on to serve on the High Council and was considered very wise within the main Order . When the Separatist Crisis threatened to tear the Republic asunder , the Corellian Jedi enacted " Contemplanys Hermi " to declare their belief that they owed Corellia their loyalty over the Republic . Despite this two dozen Jedi , including Nejaa Halcyon , reviewed the situation and decided to return to Coruscant and place their loyalties to the High Council over their devotion to Corellia . In the end , the Republic and the Order were disbanded and the Galactic Empire rose to power with the enacting of a Great Jedi Purge to herald its reign . Hunting down the Jedi , Corellian Jedi were not safe from the Empire ' s reach and were largely decimated . Reformation . Despite the Empire ' s attempts to wipe out all vestiges of the Order , some Corellian Jedi escaped the initial purge long enough to pass down their traditions to their children or apprentices . Despite Nejaa Halcyon ' s death in the Clone Wars his son , Valin Halcyon , survived to pass down a Jedi Credit to his son Corran Horn . When the Order was reestablished by Master Luke Skywalker , Horn found his way to the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 where a holocron had been preserved and held many secrets many had believed forgotten . While the Yuuzhan Vong War slowed down the growth of the Order , Horn was able to establish a new enclave on Corellia by 40 ABY and the training of Corellian Jedi resumed in full force . Although the First Corellian Insurrection in 18 ABY caused no schism in the Jedi Order , the effects of the Second Galactic Civil War on the Jedi were less clear . Several members of the Corellian government were distrustful of the Jedi , but the feeling was not universal , despite the fact that Grand Master Luke Skywalker and Master Horn both stated that the Jedi were to follow the Galactic Alliance over Corellia . The Corellian Jedi were moved to a safe house in Coronet City , the capital of Corellia , although there was no evidence that they would have been arrested if they had remained public . Horn was responsible for at least five young Corellians as Jedi in Coronet , as well as a number of non - Corellian Jedi and older native Corellian Jedi . Despite his support of the Alliance , Skywalker did not include any Corellian Jedi in missions against Corellia , not wanting to make them criminals against their homeworld . Although the non - native Corellian Jedi felt no compunction against serving the Alliance over Corellia , the native Corellian Jedi were distressed . Skywalker and Horn decided to move them offworld so they could be in a more neutral environment , even though they realized that separating the Initiates from their family without consulting either could have detrimental effects on both .
