While it is a time of relative peace, the Jedi Order is still needed to bring light & justice to the dark corners of the Galaxy.
The Outer Rim and Unknown Regions teem with threats ranging from pirates and slavers to warlords and dark cults. The overworked forces of the New Republic rely on the Jedi to assist them in patrolling the frontier. This has led to an increase in the size of the Order.
As new candidates are found to join the Order, they travel to the Jedi Academy on Dantooine to begin their training….
Planet: Dantooine
Location: Training Academy of the Jedi Order
Trainee Candidate Assessment
Compiled by: Jedi Knight Kin-Ya Dosun
It is understood that Master Taanar knew both candidates' grandfathers, who were members of the Antarian Rangers during her early years with the Order. Their great-aunt Nima Secura was at one time Master Taanar's padawan learner. Master Taanar feels that the Force has a purpose for the cousins.
These four candidates have been formed into a cohort: Choj'davu Secura, Ouda Secura, Elashi Tanisho, and Dihan Falil. Candidate Choj'davu comes to us from the Antarian Rangers Junior Reserves with skills in use of heavy blasters and spacecraft operation. Candidate Ouda's nature is directed more toward communication and social skills. Candidate Dihan Falil is a Bothan candidate skilled with computer technology. Candidate Elashi Tanisho is a native of Cathar who wishes to honor the memory of the ancient Jedi heroes venerated by her people.
Our other candidates for this group have been formed into a separate cohort. These are Mirialan Yaz Yavos, Human Zakary Wellons from the Outer Rim, Virine candidate Bountiful In Spirit, and Trandoshan candidate Ashretta.
Observations: Candidate Choj has an unhealthy attachment to kaf and has also brought her own heavy blaster rifle. Candidate Elashi prefers not to wear footgear and is very interested in acrobatics. Candidate Dihan is reticent but very skilled in computer operation. Candidate Ouda has evidenced interest in using her Force talents to influence the minds of other beings.
I have heard that Master Taanar had a personal meeting with Candidates Choj and Ouda shortly after their arrival. They have shared that in their discussion with her she spoke to them about their relatives and reminded them that they are not required to join the Jedi Order should they wish not to do so.
During training Candidate Dihan researched a new feeding regimen for the rockhoppers that has improved their condition. He also suggested an improvement to the Academy computer systems. Candidates Choj and Elashi have both excelled at piloting starfighters. Candidate Ouda was given a task of visiting planet Avanell in the Lesser Lantillan Run to extend the Order's invitation for candidacy to the a mother whose child has demonstrated Force sensitivity. Candidate Ouda performed admirably in allaying the mother's fears and disabusing her of the rumor that our Order removes young children from their parents against their will.
Recently both cohorts of candidates made a visit to Rift City during a free period to listen to a musical group performance. They demonstrated their willingness to help others and combat criminals when they met a Human at the venue who appeared to be in distress. This Human was being harassed by by a group of Durros who proved to be members of the local Redfangs gang. The candidates were able to prevent the Redfangs from harming the Human without resorting to harmful violence. They reported that following this encounter they encouraged the Human to discontinue his relationship with the Redfangs and consider seeking a new life with the Antarian Rangers, which he declined. This incident provided an opportunity to teach the candidates about the importance of allowing others to choose their own paths in life.
The first cohort were assigned as responders when the Academy received a signal from an escape pod that fell in the Rifts region. This pod had landed near a mangle beetle nest and aroused the beetles. The cohort members were able to use their airspeeder to distract the beetles, allowing Candidates Ouda and Dihan to enter the pod. They experienced some beetle bites, but were able to rescue the occupant of the pod and treat his injuries.
The occupant of the escape pod, a Snivvian named Bivo Snuko, has reported that he was placed in involuntary indenture to a corporation and had escaped from a vessel by using the pod. The corporation is the Gaffner Corporation, which is located in independent space and is not subject to the legal restrictions enforced by Imperial or Republic law. This organization has been placed under observation.
Neither cohort has been put forward for the exchange program with the Imperial Knight Academy. They will remain as students of the Jedi Academy. All members of both cohorts have elected to continue with Jedi training and have been advanced to Jedi Trainee status.
