- "For these reasons, you have been recalled to Coruscant to ensure your safety in this chaotic time and to allow us time to prepare our response to the Nihil threat. It is also why, for the first time in many generations... we are implementing the Guardian Protocols."
- ―Yarael Poof[1]
TheGuardian Protocols[2] were rules implemented by theJedi High Council during theHigh Republic Era to deal with theNihil conflict.[1]
History[]
- Pra-Tre Veter: "The Guardians Protocols are an appropriate response."
- Xo Lahru: "As you can see... for the duration of the crisis, many things will change. Combat instruction for older younglings will be accelerated. They will advance to fully operational lightsabers, as quickly as their trainers deem suitable. Padawans of any age will be eligible to undergo the trials and advance to the rank of Knight. While we will not seek out violence, there may be opportunities for targeted strikes."
- Soleil Agra: "Our outpost network will be temporarily staffed by droids. They will relay requests for aid directly to us here."
- Teri Rosason: "The council will evaluate mission assignments on a case-by-case basis."
- Pra-Tre Veter: "The Guardian Protocols will be rescinded when the time is right."
- Xo Lahru: "For now... may the Force be with us all!"
- ―Pra-Tre Veter,Xo Lahru,Soleil Agra andTeri Rosason discussing the Guardian Protocols[1]
The Guardian protocols were implemented by theJedi High Council many generations before theNihil conflict.[1]
One method of the Guardian Protocols was to accelerate theJedi youngling'straining by letting them use reallightsabers instead oftraining lightsabers.[1]
The Jedi Council informed theGalactic Senate of these rules of conduct. The Guardian Protocols also includedJedi Outposts being staffed bydroids, pausing of independent research, earlyPadawan trials, restrictions of resource management, offensive combat as required, and most importantly noJedi travels alone.[1]
The words of the Guardian Protocols presented to the Galactic Senate were:
- Acceleration of youngling combat instruction
- Outposts staffed by droids
- Independent research paused
- Early Padawan trials
- Resource management restriction
- Offensive combat as required
- No Jedi travels alone[1]
A later addition to the Protocols allowed the Jedi to assessForce-relatedartifacts as potential tools, whatever the provenance.[3]
After the defeat of the Nihil, the protocols were rescinded.[4]
