Honestly, If we encountered a group where battle nuns had as much influence as the jedi, we would be worried about zealotry. They haven't exactly seen the jedi in action so, while frustrating, is quite understandable.

Edit: Actually thinking about it, the situation with the Legions of Lettow in legends implies it probably even is justified.......

I wonder what the Vong reaction to Jedi telekinesis was? Seems like that would demonstrate that the Jedi aren't exclusively full of hot air.

It's nice that they're pacifists, on balance. Even if that means they won't be as useful in galactic crises.
 
As much fun as I am having with the Yong riffing on the Federation from Star Trek, I am wondering how their version of the Prime Directive came about.

In Star Trek the spirit and word of the law seemed to change a bit. But, aside from some more extreme examples (screw you Phlox), I feel it was consistent in its purpose or at leadt inspiration.

The protection of culture. Or, avoiding cultural assimilation and/or genocide. Likely in no small part due to human memories of European imperialism and their own dislike of Vulcan hegemony in the near past. In addition, the Federation prides itself on its multicultural acceptance of its members old and new. By avoiding contact with pre-warp societies (after which contact is unavoidable) the Federation allows those societies to develop their own unique identities.

That doesn't sound like the Vong here though. I have another suggestion. Or at least a theory.
As masters of biology and users of biological tools, the Vong take the distinction between natural and manufactured life very seriously. From the Vong point of view, by interfering in that medieval society the Republic was treating sapient life as if it was domesticated. Picking and choosing which were weeds. Better to die a free sapient than live as a sapient pet or tool.
 
I have a feeling that the dead Jedi councillors will rise fom the grave and T-pose aggressively in a circle above us if our council engages in using the Force for parlour tricks to dickwave. :V

Counterpoint, what good is phenomenal power and terrible responsibility if you don't cavalierly use those abilities for fun every once in a while?

    You are Master Mical of the Jedi Order, Disciple of the Exile and, not to toot your own horn too much, one of very few people Darth Traya, Lord of the Sith, mistress of the Triumvirate, respected.

    And right now, you are faced with a choice.

    Brianna is planning to lead a small party of Jedi and Domo to finally arrest the Mercenary leadership. However, negotiations with the mercenaries have already started, to a certain extent.

    Either way you will be helpful; the real question is whether you will be helpful enough.

    Sorry it's a short post, I'm being drafted to look after my grandpa and I wanted to have something up in case I don't get to it tomorrow.

    Moratorium for two hours.

    • So I'm replaying KOTOR 2 again and I realized something: The Disciple (Possibly only with the restored content mod, it's been a while since I played without it) is honestly sort of an absolute chad, and I need to do more with him.
     
    As I recall, Mical loved to talk. and talk. and talk. Not as much of a fighter though.

    Notably, each has been scanned to have vast quantities of Lucanium, a sort of unrefined fuel that can be used to help feed the reconstruction efforts throughout the Outer Rim.

    Naturally, the hutts currently supplying said fuel are unlikely to take it lying down.

    Guess how much I care?

    Corellian ships have arrived carrying the personal effects of Jedi Padawan Andur Sunrider, husband of Nomi Sunrider. While all of it was of historical interest, more practical was a small journal of his detailing Jedi crafting; how the Jedi crafted everything from the High-Temple and Ossan robes to how to craft lightsaber hilts, forge a crystal, or even how the plumbing system on Coruscant dealt with all of those Jedi.

    A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

    They are...pacifists to an aggravating degree, so at least we do not need to worry that they will launch some kind of mad crusade to burn the Republic to the ground; but they refuse to send more than perfunctory aid to our rebuilding efforts, citing Jedi presence as a...how did they put it?

    Lackwits.

    Worse, we only located a very vague idea of their borders; extending into the Deep Core from the far side.

    Shame. But at least they're not hostile. Reminds me of how the situation was with the Hapans for the longest time.
     
    Off topic, some, but since I don't follow every meme on the net or empty anime; what exactly is the significance behind this "T-pose" memetic?
     
    Wait, it literally came from unused game character models? ... Okay. meme'd to represent dominance assertion, what? That part doesn't make any sense. Though likely explains the usage here. But... why is/was it meme'd to mean domination? Ugh, I'll never understand society and it's collective decision making process.

    Sure he probably could do some floor-mopping with Brianna, but his like, niche, is talky thinky. Besides if it goes south he can always smash his way out.
