• Humble: Simplistic in design, the traditional Jedi garb represents the Jedi Order's discouragement of materialism in it's members, while still maintaining a uniform, professional image.

Weaknesses:

• Low Resistance: The Jedi Tunic and Robes are garments made out of fabrics and otherwise material goods, not able to compare with the resistance offered by the likes of Battle Armor.

DESCRIPTION

The Jutrand Academy offers all of it's Jedi a range of personal wear in the way of traditional garments and known styles popular among a variety of Force practicing groups.

These garments are not made with the purpose of entering into battle, but rather for the livelihood of practicing Jedi Students and their mentors living within the confines of the Jutrand Jedi Academy. Each piece of clothing is therefore light and offers very little resistance outside of what you might expect to receive in training lessons and classes.

The Tunic and Robe can be ordered in the default Tan/brown, or the Student/Mentor may otherwise choose from a range of others such as white, black or grey. Personal requests for more extravagant colors may take some further time to acquire.

THE TRAINING LIGHTSABER.​

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

• Intent: To create a Training variant of the lightsaber, that Jedi Students may use to practice their ability in swordsmanship without risking the injury of their peers.
• Image Source: N/A.
• Canon Link: N/A.
• Primary Source: Lightsaber.

PRODUCTION INFORMATION

• Manufacturer: The Jutrand Academy..
• Affiliation: Mass Produced.
• Model: N/A.
• Modularity: The Lightsaber Crystal's can be replaced, and components modified.
• Production: Unique.
• Material: Durasteel, lightsaber components.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Classification: Lightsaber.
• Size: Average.
• Weight: Light.

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Blue/Green Kyber crystal.
• Alternating levels of strength - Low/High Frequencies.
• Ornate hilt design.
• Bifurcating Cyclical-Ignition Pulse.

DESCRIPTION

Issued to all Students who are Initiated into the Jedi Order of today, whether they be members of the Jedi Praxeum or the Jutrand Academy, this training variation of the Jedi's Lightsaber is the first step and introduction into the sword arts that are to follow and be honed upon throughout their numerous years of learning and mentor-ship under the Jedi Knights/Master's who take them under their guidance.

Given the youth that often comes with the Jedi Initiate's first years, the training variant has been modified to ensure that it cannot wield the same frequency of power as the standard lightsaber, for reasons of safety, responsibility and the education of prospective future Jedi.

Of course, Jedi Padawan and at times even Initiate's, aren't solely kept within the confines of academic safety. For those adventure's or trips taken outside of the protection of the Temples of today, these Hilts have been made with the sufficient energy to still be capable of deflecting blaster fire or fending off against full frequency blades in the off-chance that the student might find themselves under threat from others. This feature means that the Training Lightsaber isn't just for the young, but serves as both a tool for learning as well as a non-fatal means of self defense and the protection of others.

Later on in their time, where the Student reaches a level and age of maturity that the Order approves of, they may be given the opportunity to explore the workings of their training hilt, for preparation in their construction of a personal lightsaber; a milestone in their Jedi Career.

Strengths:

• Training Appropriate: A tool of opportunity within the Jedi's initial years, the training lightsaber allows each student to spar with/against one another and continue to hone their abilities in the sword arts, while only bruising their opponents, should they land a significant strike.
• Field Use: Despite the low frequency, the Lightsaber can still deflect blaster fire and is therefore still of great use both as a learning tool for the Form Soresu, but also useful in the Field of Duty, should the student be without any other form of self-defense. The Training Variant can also block strikes from a Full Frequency Standard-Lightsaber.
• Aesthetically Indifferent: Visually indistinguishable from a normal lightsaber, and can therefore be used to intimidate or threaten.

Weaknesses:

• Cannot be set to Full settings such as standard lightsabers used by Jedi and Sith (Non-Fatal).
• Lightsaber Resistent Materials: Cortosis for example will short out the blade if the two are met in contact with one another.
• Low frequency blade: The training lightsaber is catered to younglings and learners, and is therefore not fit for battle nor able to cut through solid materials. Immobilizing Foes takes a great amount of effort, setting to high frequency and aiming for the face being the best option though otherwise packs too little a punch for real combat scenarios.
• Low Settings - Stings upon contact with the physical body, resulting in a bruise.
• High Settings - Burns upon contact with the Physical Body and Clothing.

THE JEDI ACADEMY OF THE GRUMANI SECTOR​

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~​

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION​

Intent: To create a primary location for The Jutrand Jedi Academy (Faction). A Jedi training facility that is to be the central hub of role-play within the TJA (The Jutrand Academy), and used for the development of Character stories and progression.

SETTING INFORMATION​

Structure Name: The Jedi Academy.
Classification: Jedi Academy, Jedi Temple and Education Facility.
Location: The Archipela of Light - Temple District of Jutrand.
Affiliation: The Jutrand Jedi Academy, The Jedi Academy Network.

Accessibility:

The Jedi Academy is located within the center of the Archipela of Light, a city district that has been set aside for the Jedi Order as a means of thanks for their aid and continued service to the people of the Ecumenopolis (City) World. This district is open to all peoples who wish to visit the Jedi of Jutrand for whatever their reasons, and is well looked over by the coming and going of Jedi Personnel.

Access to the Jedi Academy itself can be entered either on foot or via Air Speeder/Flight Transit due to the Academy's personal Hangar situated in one of the upper levels of the large Facility.

Due to the nature of the Jedi Academy and the valuable knowledge that it holds, there are however certain pre-requisites required to be met in order to access certain floors. The Jedi Council Members of Jutrand retain ultimate access over the Academy for example, while the Jedi Knights and Master's are given clearance to most levels with the exception of the Jedi Council Chambers itself. Under special Circumstance, certain members of the Knighting body of the Academy may be given access to the Holocron Vault, while the Students of the Order may only access the basic facilities that they would require for their training, without the guidance of a mentor.

Description:

The Jedi Academy of Jutrand has been built using an almost identical model as the Temple on Coruscant that stood for an age, back during the old Republic Era. As Jutrand is a City World, it made sense to construct a monument to the Jedi that would stand the test of time, while too, giving it's people a rare and beautiful sight to behold. Standing in the center of the Archipela of Light, the Temple district of Jutrand City, the Academy can be accessed from all four sides and consists of a multitude of levels housing all that the Order needs to operate and training prospective Jedi Knights.

Sent out by order of the Jedi Council of Jutrand, Jedi Knights and Masters are given assignments both on and off-world, many of which are focused on keeping the peace within the Grumani Sector, an area of space well known for it's history with the Sith and the Dark Side of the Force. Within the Academy however, the safety of young trainee's is maintained at a high standard thanks to the constant watch of the Temple Guard and the coordinated care of the mentor body of the Order.

The Jedi Council of Jutrand is made up of the following members:

• Jedi Master, Naati Sil.
• Headmaster, Van Kel Dunrar.
• Jedi Master, Topher Bertuk.

POINTS OF INTEREST​

​

ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE FACILITIES:

• The Jedi Academy Hangar.

​As the sole route for arrival and departures, the Temple Hangar is considerably vast and takes up a floor of the facility on it's own, hosting a variety of smaller vessels (Starfighters, Yachts, Freighters, Personnel Carriers and Light Corvettes). Always on stand-by for new arrivals, the engineering and maintenance crews are hard at work here to ensure all vessels are in prime shape, fit for active service.

• Air Traffic Control Tower.

​Responsible for detecting and organizing traffic too and from the Temple Hangar, the Control Tower stands on the outside of the Hangar itself. Long range Sensors detect all vessels entering Jutrand's orbit and should they be carrying known transponder frequencies to the Order, or otherwise radio ahead, Traffic Coordinators can then assist their arrival and ensure there is room and clear passage to and from the Jedi Temple.

• Jedi Ace Squadron Training & Recruitment Facilities.

​Technically an extension of the primary Hangar, though reserved for Fighter pilots and the engineering crewman, this private area is used by Jedi Instructors to help teach prospective Jedi Ace/Pilots to enter into the field with the aid of the Force and the finest technology at their hands. Should the Facility come under threat, the Traffic Control Tower will alert the rest of the Temple and it is here where all qualified and ready pilots will scramble to, in the hope of fending off any would-be aggressor.

RESIDENTIAL QUARTERS:

• Jedi Knights Private Quarters.

​Sharing the same floor as the Residential Quarters for all Masters of the Jedi Order, these rooms are private for individual use. Personal Quarters consist of the basic necessities for all Jedi Knights; from bedding to personal access to the Jedi Archives via private terminals, here is where a Knight of the Order might find suitable peace and quiet to continue their studies or to prepare for an up and coming mission.

• Jedi Masters Private Quarters.

​Similar to that of the Knights Quarters, Jedi Masters however are given larger rooms with a little more choice/preference in the furniture and decor. Having ascended to the rank of Jedi Master, they are graced with the quarters fit for such a time honored position within the Order.

• Faculty Lounge & Recreational Area.

​The Public Mess Hall/Cafeteria and adjacent room meant for socializing and light activities such as a friendly game of Pazaak with one's peers to let off steam. There are a number of Game tables, couches and holo-visions set up for recreational use. After all, even Jedi need a break from the stress and dangers of the Galaxy once in a while. This area is often frequented by Jedi Padawan and younger students.

• Student Shared Quarters.

The Residential Hub for all students of the Jedi Order, from young Hopefuls & Initiates, to Jedi Padawan and Adepts nearing their trials. These rooms are many in number and rather than single beds as their higher ranking peers receive, they consist of Bunks and are rooms shared in order to encourage strong bonds between fellow trainees building on team-work and support of one another during their years of education and training.

• Student Archives and Study Hall.

It is often said that "Knowledge is power" and within the Jedi Archives, there is more than enough to go around. The Archives here are large and filled with content of all varieties, data-chips and holo-vids with information captured across the holo-net from all corners of the Galaxy and centralized by the Jedi Academy Network for the education of all Jedi that seek to further their experience and insight into the Galaxy and into the Force. There is so much to be found here in these rooms, and very few subjects are restricted to Jedi Students; those that are, are likely so for the purpose of protecting students from subjects they are not yet ready for (The way of the Dark Side).

EDUCATION FACILITIES:

• Agricultural & living Sciences Classrooms.

Established upon a world flourishing in all kinds of life and living creatures, the Science and hydroponics facilities hold some of the finer technological works, ready for the study of various sciences (Biology, Chemistry etc), as well as the chance for the Jedi to create and harvest their own vegetation, fruit and other goods that both save on credits but too encourage a healthy diet and a place for those with an interest in the Agri-corps to come, learn and fill out their down time in the days.

• Artisan & Technology Facilities.

Science of a different sort, here is the heart of information technology. The Artisan Wing and alternate facilities for the Engineering staff from down within the Hangar to come and use for training purposes. Jedi are offered various different avenues to experience ways that technology can bolster the Order, helping to protect and serve the Galaxy, that we might otherwise take for granted. It is here that they are able to create their personal lightsabers or learn to work upon Starships, helping to secure safe transit for others with good reliable workmanship. Fighter pilots for example, can learn to maintain their own fighters in the case that they may be downed during a mission and left to find their own means of escape. If it involves a computer, you can bet that any answers you seek may be found on this floor!

• Ceremonial Hall.

​Used for official meetings called for by the Jedi Council, or otherwise important events such as the Knighting of Jedi Students as well as Knights ascending to the rank of Jedi Master. Here in this great hall, there is room for all personnel within the Temple to join one another in unity, in the interests of the Jedi Order and of the Galaxy's future.

TRAINING FACILITIES:

• Holographic Projection Grid & Simulation Environment.

A vast in-door arena lined with Holographic emitters across the roof and walls meant to manipulate the surrounding area to create an alternative simulation, making it feel as though the persons using the environment are somewhere else entirely. The Holographic Projection Grid is capable of simulating all number of known species and persons of legend, feeding from the Archive Data-base and programmed by skilled Jedi Artisans to create simulations meant for the education and training of Jedi personnel. It is also common, however, for Jedi Knights and Masters to use the arena for recreational use, such as taking a brief trip to other "worlds or tropical locations". A dream or fantasy that for the briefest of moments, may seem like a reality if one has the creativity and imagination for it.

• Lightsaber and Melee Combat Facilities.

A favorite of many a Jedi Guardian, these facilities are prepared for the dueling and sparring competitions between Jedi Students and Mentors both. Taught in all seven forms of lightsaber combat, the Jedi often use their peers to help build their skillset, fending off against one another on "training settings" that ensures they don't physically injure their friends and sparring partners, aside from a few scrapes and bruises. On this floor there are eight large Dojo's, one massive arena for group activities and three classrooms for theoretical learning.

• Blaster Rifle Target Range.

Though it may not always be the weapon of choice for a Jedi, that does not take away from the fact that all Jedi are likely to have a blaster pointed at them sooner or later, and must learn how to properly defend themselves and make use of such aggressive tools in the case that they are forced to use one out in active duty. Some Jedi are known to carry a blaster on their person, while others use these rooms to also perfect their form in Soresu, the third form of lightsaber combat and best served in deflecting blaster fire. There is an extensive variety of blasters here, however all of them have been modified to ensure that they cannot cause fatal injuries. A means of protecting and discouraging Jedi from favoring blasters too much so, over the use of their lightsabers.

MEDICAL & EMERGENCY FACILITIES:

• Medical Facilities.

Manned by a trio of medical droids and Jedi healers, this is the place of medical studies and treatment for all kinds of injuries caused by either training or received out in the field during active duty. Life is something cherished by all Jedi, and the studies of medicine and healing aren't solely focused in the force but also taught using the knowledge gained over decades of sentient history, taking training from numerous worlds, collected and stored within the archives that the Jedi here may be prepared to treat any sort of wound and any sort of patient that may be forced to rely upon their expertise.

• Security Control Tower.

Monitored by Jedi Knights and Masters who have volunteered to ensure the Jedi Temple remains secure and that their students are well looked after, the security tower serves as a liaison between the traffic control tower and the Jedi Council. Should there be a security breach or an imminent attack, they are the first to know and alert the rest of the Temple as well as get word out to other Jedi branches throughout the known regions in the case that they might not be the sole target. From there, they are responsible for organizing the Temple's defense and seeing to the evacuation of all younglings and students, if such a time should ever befall them.

• Detention Block & Temporary Holding.

It's an unfortunate fact that not everyone in the Galaxy appreciates a peaceful life, nor the personal rights of others. The Detention block here is built in order to contain temporary prisoners for later extraction to more capable hands such as the policing force for which their crimes were committed. These cells however have been specifically crafted with other Force Users in mind, not only due to the Sith, but also rogue elements that choose to take matters into their own hands at the expense of others. Within these cells, once the entrance has been sealed by ray shields, the prisoners connection to the force is cut off from the outside world, leaving them temporarily unable to call upon it in an attempt to escape or harm their captors.

SECURITY​

​

Security upkeep and the safety of all residents within the Jedi Academy and Temple District is maintained by the Jedi Temple Guard, they who have been hand picked by the Jedi Council and the Jedi Battlemaster of Jutrand for their known expertise in Combat, and their readiness to stand as the last line of defense for those unable (or too young) to defend themselves. The Temple Guard are the elite warriors of the Jedi Order and are easily identified by their clean white and tan garbs, as well as the mask/helm they wear in order to discourage others from singling them out while off-duty, in the hope of weakening the security of the Archipela of Light, or the Academy itself.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION​

​

Historically, the Grumani Sector has seen it's share of trouble, having been divided up into three territories and subsequently ruled by Sith Lords under the guise of prominent families well embedded within the financial economy and politics across the system.

The Jedi Academy and the Archipela of Light (The Temple District), used to be nothing more than just another typical district of the City world, where the old facility that stood where the Jedi live now, was used as a subtle outpost for Jedi and resistance fighters hoping to discourage the progression of the Sith in any way they can, without drawing too much attention to their Rebel Underground.

Serving as the current Headmaster of the Jedi Academy, Ven Kel Dunrar used to be a Jedi Watchman invested in serving the Grumani Sector and heavily opposing the Sith who threatened, abused and took advantage of the Worlds therein. During the years of conflict, Ven Kel managed to befriend a rather well known politician across the sector, Ambrose Pike, and together rallied the support of the people as well as drawing the attention of the Republic to their aid, eventually managing to push back against the follows of the Dark side of the Force.

For numerous years of hard service to the Grumani Sector, and by request of Ven Kel's, Senator Ambrose Pike called and recieved enough support to offer the Jedi a place to establish his new Academy and Temple of training for the Order. The District, while smaller than most, would come to be known as the Archipela of light, and stand as a testament to the Jedi's faith in the will of the Force, as well as a reminder to the people that they're not alone.
