Emberlene's Daughter, The Jedi Generalist
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Tradition Type: Monastic
Influence: Minor (localized to one world)
Orientation: Light
Influence Area: Shimmersand, an extragalactic world displaced far beyond the Galactic Rim
Symbol: A double‑helix braid over a crystalline lattice representing partnership, discipline, and the structured clarity of their worldview.
Description: The Janni-Sultanas are an ascetic, all‑female monastic order dwelling within the crystalline caverns of Shimmersand. Their practices emphasize discipline of the body, clarity of thought, and the cultivation of deep interpersonal bonds. Their defining feature is the Resonant Pair a lifelong partnership between two women who train together, meditate together, and fight together until their connection in the Force becomes seamless. This bond is not mystical in the sense of altering reality; instead, it is a refined form of shared perception, synchronized intent, and mutual amplification of skill. Outsiders often mistake their precision and unity for supernatural influence, but the Janni-Sultanas themselves describe it simply as "two minds moving with one purpose." Their abilities are subtle, controlled, and focused on precision rather than spectacle. They excel in close‑quarters combat, micro‑telekinetic manipulation, and the reading of minute environmental cues. Their presence is serene, disciplined, and quietly formidable the kind of power that does not announce itself.
The Janni-Sultanas are born into the order through Force‑assisted conception overseen by the Conclave. Their lineage is maintained internally, and no outsiders are ever initiated. Children are raised communally and trained from infancy with the expectation that they will one day form a Resonant Pair.
Motives:
The Janni-Sultanas seek to preserve their lineage, maintain their sanctuary, and refine their discipline. They are not expansionist, evangelical, or political. Their focus is inward on mastery, clarity, and the continuation of their tradition. They view themselves as custodians of a fragile legacy, not warriors or missionaries.
Rules and Teachings:
The Janni-Sultanas follow a strict code emphasizing discipline, restraint, and unity.
To the few who encounter them, the Janni-Sultanas seem ethereal quiet, graceful, and unnervingly synchronized. Their isolation and discipline give rise to rumors of mysticism, but in truth they are simply practitioners of a highly refined martial‑philosophical tradition.
Openness:
Extremely closed. They avoid contact with outsiders unless necessity demands it. When they do intervene, it is with subtlety and restraint.
The Janni-Sultanas avoid large‑scale telekinesis, destructive powers, and any technique that requires emotional intensity. They do not practice alchemy, lightning, or other aggressive arts. Their strength lies in precision, not spectacle.
The early Janni-Sultanas lived in the great kyber caverns, carving meditation halls and training chambers into the crystal walls. Their isolation forced them to refine their skills inward rather than outward. Without wars to fight or politics to navigate, they focused on discipline, endurance, and the cultivation of deep interpersonal bonds. The concept of the Resonant Pair emerged during this era a partnership so close that two individuals could move, think, and act with perfect unity. The original Jedi founders eventually passed into the Force, but their teachings endured, preserved by generations of Janni-Sultanas who saw themselves as custodians of a legacy born from necessity and shaped by peace.
For thousands of years, the Janni-Sultanas remained unknown to the galaxy. Shimmersand lay far beyond any charted hyperspace route, and the order had no desire to leave. Their world was stable, their lineage secure, and their philosophy complete. They lived in quiet harmony, training, meditating, and refining their discipline. The outside galaxy was a distant abstraction a place of conflict and chaos that had no bearing on their lives. Yet even in their isolation, the Janni-Sultanas maintained a sense of vigilance. They believed that peace was not the absence of danger, but the mastery of oneself in the face of it.
The Planeshift changed everything. When entire star systems were displaced across the galaxy, Shimmersand was pulled into a new region of space, suddenly within reach of explorers and Force‑sensitive travelers. The Janni-Sultanas were cautious but not hostile. They observed the newcomers from a distance, evaluating their intentions. When the Silver Jedi eventually made contact, the Janni-Sultanas recognized in them a familiar dedication to balance and service. The two groups approached each other with mutual respect, each curious about the other's traditions. The Janni-Sultanas welcomed the Silver Jedi into their caverns, offering insight into their discipline while learning about the galaxy they had been separated from for millennia.
Among the Silver Jedi who visited Shimmersand, Matsu Ike formed the deepest connection with the Janni-Sultanas. Her calm presence, patience, and respect for subtlety resonated with their philosophy. She trained several Janni-Sultanas in broader Force disciplines while learning from their precision, endurance, and dyadic practices. The exchange was transformative for both sides. The Janni-Sultanas gained a clearer understanding of the galaxy's complexities, while the Silver Jedi gained insight into a tradition shaped entirely by isolation, discipline, and unity.
Today, the Janni-Sultanas remain a quiet, enigmatic presence on Shimmersand. They do not seek influence or expansion. Their purpose is inward, their discipline unbroken, their sanctuary protected. Yet the galaxy now knows they exist an ethereal order shaped by exile, refined by peace, and defined by the unshakeable bond between two partners who move as one.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Janni-Sultanas trace their origins to a Jedi strike team during the Pius Dea crusades. While sabotaging a cathedral ship, the team was forced into an uncontrolled hyperspace jump that hurled them far beyond the known galaxy. Their vessel crashed on Shimmersand, a crystalline world whose vast kyber formations hummed faintly with the Living Force. Cut off from the Republic and unable to return, the Jedi survivors faced a stark choice: despair, or adaptation. They chose the latter. The planet's native inhabitants the Kheavor were a peaceful, contemplative species with a deep connection to the Light. Their philosophy emphasized discipline, clarity, and unity of purpose. The stranded Jedi found common ground with them, and over time the two groups blended their teachings into a new monastic tradition.The early Janni-Sultanas lived in the great kyber caverns, carving meditation halls and training chambers into the crystal walls.
