JEDI HoloNet

An image captured by Temple security holograms during the course of the evening. The identity of this particular intruder is still unknown and any further information will remain classified at this time.

Two intruders were caught on Temple grounds yesterday evening. They were promptly apprehended after they tried to attack several residents, although both intruders were killed in the process after they refused to cease their efforts. We thank all students for their cooperation with our procedures during this incident. If any students would like to discuss what occured further, they may of course do so with any Knight or Master, as we realize it may have been a difficult experience for many.

The only notable casuality was Sared Kilvan, who suffered extensive injuries and is now recovering in a Bacta tank in the Medbay after undergoing emergency surgery. Please be courteous and respect his privacy as his condition continues to improve.

All students are advised to remain vigilant over the coming days, although the Council believes the situation to have concluded at this point in time.

After a highly impressive career as the padawan-learner of Jedi Master and former High Councilor Shimi Zaki, Blavek Araven (Shistavanen, age 29) has been declared Jedi Knight of the Order.

Knight Araven recently underwent an incredible Trial of Flesh when he was forced to observe a young friend of his be slaughtered almost defenselessly. In the ensuing chaos of the aftermath, Knight Araven kept a clear head and did not harm any one of his captors. After reviewing the incident, the Jedi Council of Yavin IV deemed that Knight Araven had acted above and beyond the actions one would expect of a normal sentient, and declared him more than suitable for the rank of Jedi Knight.

Master Zaki has conveyed that Knight Araven was to him, “…the perfect student.” The Council wishes to convey their congratulations to Blavek Araven. The Force will be with him throughout his career as a Jedi Knight of the Order.

Following the Council Session of 269.30, six new Initiates have been selected as members of the Jedi Order: Zekii Abrak, Daereon Daimon, Zeak Dystiny, Fane Ornn’ila, Ametha Tasia, and Jacen Ginos.

The Council would like to congratulate each of our new Initiates, and submit one reminder: it is difficult to become a Jedi, but it is more difficult to stay one. May your time within our ranks be prosperous for both you and the Order.

After a career spanning fifty years and half of the Galaxy, Jedi Master Corinth Alkorda has been welcomed onto the High Council by in-place councilors Soh Raun and Jared Quell. Master Corinth Alkorda has had a long experience within the Order and on the field, and his wisdom and cool-headedness will be strong assets to conduct his new duties. Upon induction, Master Corinth stated:

As my mentor and former High Councilor Axem Keigoku once said, “Let no man take upon his own will what the Force has not willed for him.” As the Force has called me to a higher position within our Order, I will respond with reverent obedience.

The addition of a new High Councilor will help to aid the High Council as our Order expands throughout the years. Indeed, we are entering a time of prosperity and growth, and this expanded High Council will help to guide the Jedi Order along that path.

Yesterday evening, following an encounter with a known Dark Jedi, Kaelen Sekura (age 27) was knighted by the Jedi Council of Yavin IV.

Initiated on 251.22, born on Lok and sent to Yavin IV from Talus, Kaelen was a curious youngling with a strange taste for taun-taun jerky. Over the years, however, this curious child grew into a fine adult, and a fine Jedi. His skills with his saber and remarkable ability to remain calm in dangerous situations have been a great combination, allowing him to overcome all that he has faced during his training.

Kaelens time as a padawan was spent with Knight Syrena Exan, and for a brief period with Knight Alkur Tekiel during Knight Exans long absence. During his training he encountered strange and powerful creatures, dealt with thugs on his home planet of Lok, and successfully detered a Dark Jedi from entering the temple grounds. He is a trustworthy friend to his peers, and a great role model to the aspiring youths in which he interacts with each day.

The Council congratulates Kaelen Sekura for all he has done, and acknowledges that he has the skill, determination, and spirit to uphold the duties of a Knight. May he pass down all that he has learned and inspire future Jedi to lead their lives in the Light of the Force.
