When the Brotherhood of Darkness was defeated, and the Ruusan Reformation put into effect, formal training began again and the Order flourished. When the Order recovered, the training of Padawans to Knighthood resumed more formally until the New Sith Wars and the creation of the Army of Light forced the Order to, once again, take on a militaristic way of life. However, due to the High Council's seemingly complacent attitude during the Mandalorian Wars, many Knights turned away from the Order and joined the Revanchist's movement, which would eventually lead to the Jedi Civil War. Working as peacekeepers, diplomats, and investigators during peace time, the Knights helped to establish peace following the war. Īs the Order grew more centralized with the foundation of the Jedi High Council, following the Great Sith War, and the Republic's donation of the Sacred spire on Coruscant for use by the Knights, residing at the capital, the role of Knights in the Republic became more defined. A loose band of both philosophers and warriors, these early Knights had no central leadership, nor any formalized training at an academy instead, they completed a series of tasks set by their master, who would then bestow upon them the rank of a Jedi Knight. Seven hundred and thirty years after the Order's founding on Tython in the earliest days of galactic civilization, the Jedi Knights were brought into the Galactic Republic, working as peacekeepers for the fledgling government. ' For a hundred generations the Jedi have fought to protect the Republic!' ―Unidentified humanoid Jedi, 5000 BBY.
