Jedi Service Corps

The Jedi Service Corps (JSC) was a part of the Jedi Order and under the jurisdiction of the Council of Reassignment. This council helped Jedi younglings and Padawans who failed their training, and, while most returned to their homes, some sought to be reassigned to the Service Corps, as they desired to serve or possessed useful skills. As part of the Service Corps, a Jedi was still able to serve the Galactic Republic, although they did not use a lightsaber. However, during the Clone Wars, a war in which the Jedi became military officers, the Service Corps became militarized.

Jedi Seekers founded the Exploration Corps, also known as the ExplorCorps. The members of the Exploration Corps, which were mostly but not exclusively Seekers, were initially charged with charting the known galaxy, but their mission eventually expanded to discovering new planets, studying astronomical events and education. The ExplorCorps operated mainly on ships: instead of a headquarters, they utilized praxeum ships which served as portable temples and education centers.
