• Combat Function: Effectively the Light Side equivalent of Dark Jedi, These warriors practice the Light Side and Lightsaber Technique independent of oversight by the Jedi Council, having been illegally trained by Nathan in certain abilities. They act as mystery interlopers in conflicts against the enemies of the light, refusing to identify themselves to Jedi (Often refusing to even speak when one is present to give Jedi they encounter as little to work with as possible). They occasionally act as a rescue group for Jedi behind enemy lines, and when not in combat act as humanitarian relief in Crisis scenarios for a given populace, humbling themselves by providing food, water, and medical aid, all anonymously. They prefer ambush, and dislike wading into open combat on the battlefield, preferring to fight smaller groups such as a platoon or two, or just lone units.
• Force Abilities (Force User Units Only):

Force Sense (Padawan)
Electric Judgement (Padawan)
Force Valor (Padawan)

Force Camouflage (Padawan)
Force Resistance (Master)
Force Camouflage (Padawan)
Force Suppression (Padawan)




Strengths:

• Tough Armor: Their tough Phrik Alloy Armor can protect them from a wide variety of damage, including Lightsabers
• Light Connection: Taught very basic light side abilities, they can pose a significant challenge for ordinary soldiers and bounty hunters and at least possibly fend off a trained Dark Side user
• Tough Spirit: Training from Nathan has focused on refining their ability to resist Force Attacks to that of a master. They may not be better at using the Force, but they can often survive it's most dangerous attacks. If they can't beat you, they certainly have a great chance of outlasting you and escaping to fight another day.
• Defensive: They are trained in a smattering of Form One, but focus on Soresu almost exclusively, enabling them to survive and deflect a lot of attacks that might destroy the defenses of normal apprentices
• Jack of all trades: A decent array of Force Powers to use in battle, and they get slightly smarter about employing them every time they are used.
• Force Range: Though their offensive skills are weak, their electric judgement has unusually long range, and the range increases if channeling it through their lightsaber blade

Weaknesses:

• Null: They temporarily lose their powers if entering Force Voids, Ysalamiri bubbles, or clods of Voidstone particles
• Much to learn, you still have: Their ability to resist Force Powers is about the only thing going for them. In all other respects they are still very much Padawans, and they can't enhance their bodily performance without the Light Side Currently, and lack even basic skill at telekinesis
• Inevitable: Such a heavy focus on surviving attacks means they have trouble going on offense without the Force

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

Trained in secret on the planet Kytrand by Nathan, these apprentices are selected from the refugee population based on empathy capacity and sense of civic duty, and given basic instruction depending on their aptitude. Fully aware that training them while still a Padawan is a major violation of NJO rules, he makes sure strictly to deploy them in Trade League Space, where the NJO has less presence and they have a shot of at least momentarily passing themselves off as simple Jedi Wayseekers, or in such packed, chaotic battles, that the side he is fighting for simply won't have time to pay attention to a few extra blue blades on the field. This puts them at risk but separates the skilled from the unskilled.

Despite being Light Side Users, they break from Jedi Doctrine in a major way by treating the Light Side as a tool to be used, refusing to view it on a spiritual level. This is so they will strictly be loyal to their master rather than the Jedi Code, despite wanting many of the same things the Jedi do, and often behaving no different than an actual, properly trained Jedi Padawan would
