2009-02-03 - Jedi Council Memorial

In a meeting of the Jedi Council today, several things were discussed. By unanimous decision, a rule of Jedi Law was created wherein decisions made by the Council are documented in order to provide for consultation at at later date. In the future, rules for a vote among the Jedi may be created, though that was not discussed. The contents of this meeting are as follows:
1: Romantic Relationships within the Order                 This decision comes within the context of Padawan Apprentice Rena and Knight Graham Lane. Romantic relationships and marriage are not forbidden, but they are restricted to individuals not related to each other through training. In other words a Master must refrain from developing a romantic relationship with her or his padawan. Furthermore, a Knight involved in such a relationship may never advance to the rank of Master for obvious reasons. Padawan Rena, you are ordered to report to Master Otto Leadwing on Thyferra for further training. He is your Master now.
2. Djenner tel-Rei's Failure                 This Togruta has embarrassed the Jedi Order in several ways. First of all, he assumed the rank of Padawan Learner though it was not officially bestowed upon him. He was only given such security clearance due to work done /for/ the Jedi. Second, he disobeyed direct Jedi orders while operating under said title, causing much mischief on Paxo that we are only beginning to sort out. Djenner will be denied contract or membership in the Jedi Order for the time being. He is to report directly to Republic authorities for further investigation.
3. Failure to Obey Orders                 This issue was discussed in light of Padawan Teela and Mi'yuki's recent confrontation with a known enemy where they failed to act in accordance with standing orders. It was determined by discussion of the council that the Padawans' conduct was in good judgement and to be commended - victory was not clear and innocents may have been harmed. However, the council reserves the right in the future to punish flagrant violations of standing orders with severe punishment.
4. Expulsion from the Order or leaving the Order                 In the future, such individuals will be exiled from the Republic under penalty of imprisonment, disarmed, and forbidden from the use of the Force if it benefits the individual directly or the enemies of the Jedi.
May the Force be with you.
Signed: Jedi Council of Coruscant
