(This is a roleplaying and non-roleplaying perspective)

My name is Jacella. I am a Jedi. I dance the fine line between the Light and the Darkness. Between Order and Chaos. I am a master of that dance. Many times I am asked what it means to be a jedi and for a long time I have not been able to answer that. Now I have an answer.

Jedi means different things for each jedi, but there are some consistencies.

I strive to maintain Order and to protect the greater whole against selfishness and self-serving tyrants. I serve my Emperor to that end. Politics, like love, is an emotional tidepool, both unpredictable and fluid. My debates usually are done with a lightsaber and cunning martial skill, not words.

Does this mean that I am a mindless killing machine? No. Does it mean that I am stronger than the enemies I may face? No. What it means is that with the Force and with my own skills, I have been trained to uphold the ideals of the Order and defend the weak.

The Terrorists, who call themselves "The Alliance" or "The Rebellion" to sell themselves as being on the side of the just, are murderers of civilians and are commanded by the most notorious of known criminals. With the destruction of our orbiting space station, the "Death Star", countless civilian families lost their husbands, fathers, wives, mothers,brothers and sisters due to the ruthless and violent attack. These families are left with no-one to support them, no one to raise them, and no one to protect them. The horror of the holovid images displayed by these Rebel Terrorists has caused more trauma among the youth than the initial attack. These murderers need to be stopped!

The Force is fickle, it ebbs and flows constantly. What is useful to me on one mission, may well fail me in the next. I must constantly train to understand my own connection it. My meditations have brought some understanding to the phenomena. The more violence I see in our beautiful city streets, the more deaths I see of civilians, the weaker the Force becomes. The Old Order of so-called "LIght Jedi" has been infested with a sickness of power. They fight amongst themselves in cities such as Theed and Bestine. The attack mercilessly on the weak, and laugh at their slaughter. Lord Vader foresaw this coming to pass and attempted to cut the rot out of the Order, but the cancer spread too fast. I bless the Emperor and Lord Vader for saving me from this disease.

My skills are chosen by my life lessons, not by me. Everyone has a note to play, like a fine musical instrument, and that is the only note they can play. If you fight against it, to try and be a baritone while you are made to be an alto, you will fail. You must find your note and strive to perfect that single note. A lifetimes journey, but glorious in its simplicity. Then, when combined with an ensemble of others, the music, the chorus is sung. Do not try and be a chord when only a single perfection of sound is possible.

Many see the masters of our Order and seek to emulate them. They see their successes and triumphs and dream of that being them. This is a flaw of logic. It is better to celebrate their individualism, yet seek our own. They are a wonderful source of wisdom and knowledge, but only you can find your single note.

To be a jedi is to dance the dance whether it be in a mud hut or a Royal Palace. To find that you stumble at times, and to rejoice in the act of learning again what it means to dance. To sing that perfect note, and then learn how to do it again and again. The path of a jedi has no destination, only another road ahead of it. If you stop walking, you will vanish into nothingness. The goal of jedi is to constantly seek perfection, not attaining it.

The Force provides for us what we need...not what we want. To fight against the Force is to fight against who we are. To join with the Force is to let it carry us to find our perfect note.

Allow me to translate the OP:

• Jedi have a role, but it's a roleplaying role


• Jedi are part of the GCW


• Jedi are't just for pvp, and some professions will beat you if they are skilled


• I am an Imperial Jedi...not a real Sith, that's just my guild name


• Devs change this profession a lot, learn to be effective with the new changes


• Gank squads in Starports lead to more nerfs


• Examine your playstyle to determine a good template for you


• Other people's templates won't always work for you


• FOTM's lead to more nerfs


• Keep your template focused on doing a few things well, you can have it all


• Being a really good jedi in this game means that you must adapt and be an elite player

Long ago the Jedi went to war with the Sith. In order to protect some of their families (yes, Jedi back then had families) some of them put them on the desert world of Yanibar. The Sith and Jedi decimated each other in the war and the families were forgotten.

From those families sprang the Zeison Sha Warriors. Forged in deserts cold as Hoth and as hot as Tatooine we exist to defend the families of the original Jedi. Training our own, caring for our own, and yes, destroying the dark among our own we have come to see both the Jedi and Sith as but sides of a coin that is worn and decayed.

Though we have rejoined the Galaxy, our initial impression of Jedi was mixed. The only interest of the new 'council' was to snatch our children and train them. As for the Sith, they have remained inimical to all but themselves and there is no room for error on that front.

I am born of many sources, not the least of which were the mixed parentage of a Zeison Sha and an outsider. I have seen the ways of the Jedi and the ways of the Sith. A third way will I follow, and the Empire of the Sith shall be replaced with a new Galaxy. The Alliance will be replaced as well. This Have I foreseen.
