Any interest in a dark Jedi faction?

I know it’s a bit weird since the term “dark Jedi” usually just means a force user that’s dark but not Sith. That being said I wasn’t sure if there was any interest in this type of faction?

That depends. What are you proposing?

Canonically, Dark Jedi are often loners and very self-serving and have smaller ambitions than that of the Sith. They don't care for galactic conquest or anything of that sort, but traditionally revel in the ideas of achieving massive personal wealth and importance. A few questions to provoke thought for a possible faction:
  • Why on earth would this vile group of selfish buttheads join together? A common enemy? A mutually beneficial relationship with one another?
  • How would the organization work? Will there be rankings and a command structure, or will it be a fairly flat organization with a single leader?
  • What is the ideology like? Is there a Dark Jedi code?
Just some food for thought. I'd be interested.

[member="Arken Lussk"] These are all good points. I've had a look around Wikipedia and there were a few "dark jedi orders" so perhaps we can take a little of each and make something worth pursuing?

How does this sound just as a start:

Reasons they would come together:
- Training. Having a master to better hone your power will only serve you better.
- Industry - perhaps wherever they are located can be dominated by businesses, casinos, clubs, factories, etc and together they make a LOT of money.
- Safety from the big powers of the galaxy. The freedom to live how they want without having to bow to the wills of Jedi or Sith etc.

As for rankings maybe something like a dark grand master and a dark council? For the most part people do what they want but the council can come together when it benefits the order as a whole?

There is a dark jedi code on Wookiepedia so I'm sure I can somehow convert that.

“No peace, only suffering.
No knowledge, only instinct.
No serenity, only passion.
No harmony, only chaos.
No life, only death.”

The Dark Jedi Code, as written by the first Bogan.
(StarWars Fandom).

When I first created the Dark Jedi Order, it was a vision I had for Veiere's Dark Side Path. Unfortunately I chose not to pursue it after a while because the decision to have him go darkside ended up being something I regretted, and had done on impulse during a personal loss in my life. That said, I'm happy to see someone pursuing the idea because I still think it has a lot of potential and will list my aim for what my faction/version of it was meant to be.

Essentially, I wanted to create an Order that would go to war with both the Sith and the Jedi. The motivation in this was similar to the Grey Jedi in that the motivation for war between the Jedi and the Sith can be put down to two different ideologies and followed paths (The Dark and the Light). I wanted the Dark Jedi to be Force Practitioners that would do whatever was necessary to eradicate this argument, to remove these larger influences and to put an end to the fighting through (You guessed it) fighting.

Training wise, the Order would work in similar ways as the Jedi, only without the restrictions. Dark Jedi wouldn't turn on each other like the Sith are canonly known for, they'd work in cooperation with one another as a the Jedi do, mentored by Knights and Masters, yet taught to harness the power of the Force utilizing both sides, not limiting themselves to one set of abilities but using all that's available to them.

There's a lot of room to maneuver here, depending on those that decide to lead the group and what their objectives are for the faction on site. These were just my idea's and while it gained a good deal of interest, the faction didn't unfortunately get as far as I wanted and this was largely due to my own indecisiveness.

And of course there is the Galactic Triumvirtive which deals with multiple different types of Force Order's be it Jedi, Sith or Dark Jedi. We would be pleased if you would take a trip to to our Faction Discord, if at all possible and allow our Staff to give you a glimpse of what we are about and what this means for your Search.
