- Reputation: The Sovereign Compass (SOVCOM) organization is generally viewed with a mix of respect and curiosity from the outside. Many see them as champions of individual freedom and democratic principles, appreciating their dedication to maintaining a Republic free from the influence of the Force. However, there is an air of wariness among some who may perceive the organization as challenging the traditional role of Force users in governance.
SOVCOMs reputation is not without its complexities, as their commitment to neutrality and separation can be misunderstood or even distrusted by those who believe in the necessity of the Force for protection and guidance. Despite this, the organization's overall image tends to lean more towards a respected entity, admired for its principled stand and dedication to preserving the democratic ideals of the Republic.
SOVCOM has never done more than the occasional rally and attempting to get members involved in government, so while a somewhat silent entity, they aren't often viewed with a negative scope to the unknowing. - Curios: The SOVCOM Compass, gilded in gold and navy, is a finely crafted instrument adorned with intricate details. Its face features ancient symbols symbolizing the organization's commitment to guiding the Republic away from Force manipulation. When opened, the compass needle aligns itself with the phantom coordinates of Alderaan, elegantly preserving the memory of the lost planet. The gold casing bears the weight of history, and against the navy backdrop, the celestial aesthetics echo the organization's dedication to navigating a course free from the shadows of the Force. As a symbol of shared mission and unwavering principles, members carry this trinket as a constant reminder within SOVCOM.

These rules create a framework that guides SOVCOM members in their pursuit of a Force-free Republic, emphasizing ethical conduct, democratic governance, and the separation of the Force from political power. - Goals: The ultimate goal of the SOVCOM is to enact and uphold the complete separation of Force users, particularly the Jedi, from government and political influence within the Galactic Republic. SOVCOM envisions a Republic where the decision-making processes are free from the sway of the Force, ensuring that laws, policies, and governance are shaped solely by the democratic will of the people rather than external Force-related considerations. The organization seeks to establish a lasting framework that safeguards the Republic's independence from the potential impact of Force users on political decision-making, thereby preserving the principles of individual freedom and democratic governance.
This does not seek to exile the Jedi or abandon them. SOVCOM only seeks exclude Force and Force-related decisions making. The Jedi Order to be an entity that exists on the planets as any church, but not in government.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Treoff Kellak's exploration of galactic history, spanning the Old Republic, Galactic Republic, Galactic Empire, Rebel Alliance, and New Republic, revealed a recurring theme of Jedi involvement in government affairs. Delving into the annals of the past, Treoff meticulously studied instances where the Jedi's influence impacted political decisions, often leading to controversy and conflict.
Amidst his historical self-study, Treoff closely examined Admiral Daala's critique of the Jedi's involvement in politics, finding resonance in her concerns about potential conflicts of interest and ethical considerations. Daala's perspective served as a catalyst for Treoff, prompting him to question the role of Force users in governance and sparking the formation of the SOVCOM organization.
Driven by a desire to ensure a Republic free from Force-related influence, Treoff's journey found guidance and inspiration in the creation of SOVCOM. This organization, rooted in a deep understanding of historical events and the convictions inspired by figures like Admiral Daala, emerged as a beacon of dedication and service. Treoff's commitment to preserving democratic principles and individual freedoms within the Galactic Republic defines the core mission of SOVCOM, shaping its path in response to the lessons learned from the galaxy's intricate political history.
