THE JEDI COUNCIL

The origins of the High Council could be traced back to the Jedi Assembly established approximately three hundred years after The Great Hyperspace War. This assembly, a meeting of several trusted Jedi Masters, was set up to create a loose hierarchy in the Jedi Order.

There were also many other councils on Jedi training worlds, including at the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine. When Duron Qel-Droma and his associates were tasked with the Great Hunt by the enclave council on Dantooine, the Dantooine Council itself already answered to the Jedi High Council on Coruscant. At this point, the High Council existed in its permanent, twelve-member form, headquartered in the High Council Chamber in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.

Some decades later, during the Mandalorian Wars, the High Council contained such notables as Atris, Zez-Kai Ell, Kavar, Vrook Lamar, and Lonna Vash. They preached patience and restraint against the Mandalorian threat to the Republic, urging other Jedi not to follow the example of Revan and Malak, who impetuously went off to fight the invaders. The Council later decided on the fate of the only Jedi participant of the war who returned to face their judgement - the Jedi Exile. Nearly unanimously they decided to excommunicate her from the Order, with Atris pushing for a harsher penalty.

In the ensuing Jedi Civil War, the Council dispersed, and their members hid throughout the galaxy. When Sith Lady Darth Traya, who was responsible for the elimination of most of the old Council, was defeated by the Exile on Malachor V, the Jedi High Council was re-established. It was at this time that some of the Exile's companions, who had received basic Force training from her during their adventures, eventually became Jedi Masters and rebuilt the Council.
