The Jedi Order were powerful Force-wielding "sorcerers'" and adjudicators tasked by the Galactic Republic to be the guardians of peace and order in the "Star Wars" galaxy, with galaxy-wide jurisdiction in the Galactic Republic, headquartered in the Republic City, Coruscant capital. Their creed demands that they defend and protect all sapient life, and must never attack or act aggressively. The Order consisted of polymaths representing the best of what the Republic had to offer, their members were required to be equal parts teachers, philosophers, scientists, engineers, physicians, diplomats, negotiators, soldiers, explorers, and peacekeepers.
