Jedi ace

A Jedi ace was a specialized path that could be taken by any Jedi Knight pursuant to becoming a Jedi Guardian. Each a member of the Jedi Starfighter Corps, aces combined their connection to the Force with their piloting skills to be able to perform almost impossible and daring maneuvers to down their enemies or avoid being downed themselves.

Those Jedi who pursued this manner of training would fly in specialized starfighters in order to master the art of space combat. While the aces flew for the Army of Light and along side the Republic Navy in the New Sith Wars, the Ruusan Reformation saw a change in the make up of the Republic's defense forces. Now reliant on sector and planetary forces to ferry the non-hyperspace capable vessels between the stars, the aces still served proudly. It wasn't until the Guardian and Ace, Jedi Master Crix Sunburris put the aces' role in the Order into text, with his authoring of a section of The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force.
