We never have been really. We're more like watchmen. If one gets out of line we take care of it, but we aren't running around killing jedi left and right. So jedi "hunting" is best left to the bounty hunters.
I meant we have nothing to do with Jedi at all in this game.
So many people want all the force related abilities for TKA, which sounds cool but will never happen. There's realistic things we could ask for, not this. Force related anything for TKA is too much to ask.

*sigh*
True Canon is movies.
Lots of things werent in the movies.
FWG5s
Creature Handlers using ANYTHING other than Rancors
Muon Gold
Swordsmen
Fencers
Rangers
Image Designers
Bio Engineers
Deathwatch
Mandalorians
Many things in this game werent mentioned in canon, but license EU. The key is to use certain bits of it, so that things arent over powered. Right now a TKM in this game is just one who studies the arts, but isnt a true teras kasi master. You may study the may martial arts as a monk, that doesnt make you a monk. A true TKM in star wars spends their life in training, like a Jedi.
My point of view on the subject is that if TKA is related with jedi, it is more like the To'Kra are related to Goa'uld in Stargate (the TV show).
They don't directly fight them, they just do what ever they can to keep a balance and prevent that one of the goa'uld become the dominant and rule everything.
That's what I think keeping the jedi in check mean here.

There's no mention of Teräs Käsi artists in the Star Wars Online Databank. Are they from the novels?
There is mention of Teras Kasi in the novels and the Role Playing source book is the place where the most information comes from on TKA.
TKA are stated as the ones that keep the Jedi in check, we don't hate them, we dont hunt them. But, TKAs should have a shot at killing one that is abusing their power, thats what Teras Kasi was started for.
Lets not get into the "cannon" discussion again, Jedi shouldn't be invulnerable, they seem to forget that. I don't care who was ans wasn't supposed to hunt Jedi. Just because they have more time to play doesn't mean I should have NO chance at killing them. I could see if you got Jedi by some incredible combat prowess, then maybe they could be killing machines. But it doesn't take much skill to grind out profs, only patience and time.
