Icefuse Jedi Guardians

"We Guardians are the Republic's first line of defense against the thousand enemies who seek to destroy it."
―Guardian Crix Sunburris


A Jedi Guardian was the name given to one of the three distinct branches of Jedi, the other two being Jedi Consular and Jedi Sentinel. The Jedi Guardians' skills and talents lay in battle, a light side mirror of the Sith Warrior. Their role in the Jedi Order had remained largely consistent throughout its history but was first written down by the Guardian Jedi ace Crix Sunburris in the text, The Jedi Path: A manual for students in the force.

Concentrating on martial training and combat. Guardians engaged in combat more than either of the other two classes of Jedi; the Consulars or the Sentinels. Descended from the Order's founders on Tython whose role in the galaxy was to defend the weak and uphold the laws of the Galactic Republic, the Guardians were often seen as representatives of the Order and the classic Jedi weapon: the lightsaber.
Focusing all their time and effort on honing their martial skills, Jedi Knights who chose to pursue the role of Guardian often built their lightsabers using a blue crystal; symbolizing solidarity and uniformity among this class, though it is not a requirement. Master Sunburris recommended spending three hours a day on running, unarmed combat, and lightsaber practice. Highly necessary during the Republic's early years of instability and strife, following the Ruusan Reformation the Guardians took on an even larger role; the Republic Army was disbanded and the Jedi were thrust into the role as defenders of the Republic. Policing the galaxy and working closely with sector and system law agencies, the Guardians worked tirelessly along the Outer Rim Territories and along the borders of Wild Space to maintain law where slavery and illegalities ran rampant. While carrying the basics of Jedi equipment, Guardians were often known to carry wrist binders for when they made an arrest.
While there were many sub-branches to the Guardian class, the most skilled and learned Jedi Masters were granted the honorific of Warrior Master. It was two Warrior Masters that were said to have joined two Sage Masters in the founding of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant circa 4000 BBY. These Four Masters were honored with bronzium depictions on the main entrance stairs at the terminus of the Processional Way
