282.14 // Padawan Clans Amendment

Post by The Jedi Council »

Greetings, JEDI Members and Community,

We are pleased to announce the first refinement to the Padawan Clans system.

The Jedi Council is now accepting recommendations from Padawan Clan Leaders for the purposes of identifying Initiates under their care who may now be ready to begin a full apprenticeship program. Once recommended by the Padawan Clan Leaders, and approved by The Jedi Council, these students will be promoted to the Rank of Masterless Padawan. These former initiates will then retain the Masterless Padawan Rank while they await their chance to become full Padawan Learners.

An explanation of our current and long-standing policy on the Masterless Padawan Rank is given below:

Our existing policy states that the "Masterless Padawan" rank, denoted by the "::JEDI::" tags, serves two purposes, as follows:
  • Advancement - Students may be granted this rank to signify that they are now ready to be chosen to become an apprentice, serving under and learning directly from a Jedi Knight or Master, whom is recognized as their dedicated mentor and guide.
  • Highlighting - Students may be granted this rank to signify that their previous mentor is no longer available. The affected student is then given the above tags to make their availability more visible to new potential mentors, who might otherwise overlook these students through no fault of their own.
As you can see, this new refinement compliments the existing plans for the Masterless Padawan Rank. This change also creates a more smooth and integral flow between the Padawan Clans System and our pre-existing processes. Enabling the Leaders of each Padawan Clan to directly assist in moving students forward into the next stage of progression effectively ties the two systems together.

We encourage Padawan Clan Leaders to confer with one another frequently on the status of the Initiates under their care, in order to ensure that this process runs as smoothly and fairly as possible.

We hope that you will all continue to give us your feedback on the Padawan Clans System so that we may continue to refine and improve it over time. Once again, our door is always open.

Please also note that all Padawan Clan leaders that are currently assigned, as of the sending of this message, were notified of this change via private message on the comport during 282.13.
