The **New Jedi Order**, also known simply as the **Jedi Order**, was the successor order to the old Jedi Order, in the wake of the Great Jedi Purge and subsequent fall of the Galactic Empire. The Jedi Knights, reduced in number to only a handful, were slowly restored, primarily under the leadership of Leia Organa Solo, the sister of the Last Jedi, Luke Skywalker.

Founded in 7 ABY at the behest of then-Chancellor Mon Mothma, Grandmaster Organa Solo established a Jedi Praxeum on Yavin IV.

## Teachings and Philosophy

In the New Jedi Order emphasis was placed on learning through experience. While formal classes were held, students were also asked to establish their own training programs, developing their own individual approaches to the Force.

Leia Organa would oversee most training on Yavin IV, but did also delegate teaching responsibilities to students onto more experienced Jedi who were specifically skilled at certain areas. Typically these Jedi fulfilled the three 'archetypes' of a Jedi, that being the Guardian, Consular and Sentinel schools. This model was more-or-less projected to the other off-world Praxeums, with each school maintaining at least one instructor of each Archetype to offer broad learning opportunities to the students.

The teachings of the New Order differ from those of the Old in several ways, and are closer to those practiced by the Jedi before the Great Sith War. Active Jedi are allowed to marry and have families, and each Jedi Master or Knight can (and normally does) train multiple apprentices. Jedi are also allowed to use conventional weapons and armor besides their lightsabers, and the wearing of the Jedi robes, while still extremely popular, is no longer explicitly mandatory.

### Knight Trials

Jedi Trials, also known as the Trials of Knighthood or just 'the Knight Trials' are the challenges Jedi Padawans were given as pre-requisites for achieving Knighthood. The trials were administered by the Jedi Council to any Padawan they deemed worthy of becoming a Jedi. The primary trials were a set of five, and were the Trial of Skill, the Trial of Courage, the Trial of the Flesh, the Trial of Spirit, and the Trial of Insight. In addition, the Council could assign substitute tests or use an exceptionally trying mission in place of the traditional tests. Like the Initiate Trials, these tests were required to be taken in order to proceed to the next rank in the Jedi Order.

### Masterhood Trials

There is no formal trial to complete in order to be considered a Jedi Master within the New Jedi Order.

## Jedi Council

A true 'Jedi Master' is actually quite rare in the New Jedi Order. Typically Knights are only referred to as 'Master' by younglings or Padawan learners, but those few who have earned the true title of Master within the Order sit upon the Grandmaster's sparse Jedi Council. Typically, but not always, these are the rare Jedi of the old Order who managed to survive Order 66, and have earned their rank due to their seniority and knowledge. Usually, these masters are also serving some sort of administrative within the New Jedi Order, like Kelleran Beq, who acts as the Praxeum Overseer and manages the education of younglings and unapprenticed Padawans across NJO temples. Otherwise, a Jedi on the Council is there only due to their position -- Such as Kyle Katarn, who is only a Knight but holds the position of Battlemaster at Yavin IV and thus sits in an advisory role.
