JEDI is an old guild and far older than you realize. It began in the early days of netstorm, not before guilds such as SWORD or POD, but it surfaced in the late 1997's, when NS was released. JEDI is one guild, which contains more history than any other with the conflicts of interest. A long histroy which spans 5 Epochs, 5 Epochs which must be told....

Epoch I - The birth of JEDI

The birth of JEDI was founded by DarthVader. Here he recruited many NS players such as Yoda, Han, DarthSideous etc. And during this time was the height of JEDI's power, where they were indeed a strong guild.

With constant clan wars, each JEDI member was becoming more and more skilled, and they rose above many guilds in guild strength. From 1997 to 1998, JEDI had become a great ruler in the skies of nimbus, as the newly formulated "JEDI council" brought stablability and control within teh guild. It was indeed JEDI's Golden Age.

Epoch II- Traitor in the mist

Though clan wars and council meetings brought about JEDI's greatest age, ironically it brought about JEDI's extinction. With the new arrival of CaptainNeeda in 1998, DarthVader began recuiting members to and persuade his fellow members to continue and support his leadership for JEDI. One member, a name now nearly forgotten, was a sith. He challenged DarthVader for control of JEDI. And this began the spiral downfall of JEDI.

With growing hatred between the 2 NS players, DarthVader kicked the sith lord out of JEDI, however as it was known, DarthVader's computer was hacked by this sith lord, sending and wiping DarthVader's computer. Eliminating DarthVader from the scene of NS entirely.

With DarthVader gone and the choas running amuck through the JEDI guild, JEDI decreased in numbers. One by one members were leaving and finally this sith lord left also. All who remained were but a few, the ones known by me were CaptainNeeda and the veteran Yoda. The dark Ages had fallen upon JEDI...

Epoch III- The re-emergence of old

With the few appearances of JEDI kinghts now and then in NS, teh JEDI guild of teh old remained but in small isolated areas. But it was during 1999-2000, where JEDI hit back with a question which had not been asked in years....
"Can i join JEDI?" one member namely Paul, became not only the questionaire but the new leader of JEDI, to which he renamed himself to qui-gon and began his long journey in becoming a great of NS (today 2002, he is known as Blade)

With qui-gon though very much a noob =P, in charge he began not only to improve in NS at an alarming rate, but took control of JEDI by the scruff of the neck settling the nerves of Yoda in particular =). With members such as the Hitman, Yoda, CaptainNeeda, qui-gon and many others, JEDI took back that to which it once had.

As time grew on qui-gon left the JEDI leader scene for other callings =). But the JEDI guild continued to build and what lied in the future was a de'javue of the past. A haunting that never leaves some people...

Epoch IV- Ghost from the past

With the constant arguments of who was the leader of JEDI and I should be the leader. A figure it seemed rose from teh death. The founder of JEDI DarthVader returned, and took control with the alligency from CaptainNeeda and Yoda, all remembering the loyality to the first leader.

While DarthVader controlled JEDI, JEDI sky rocketed literally. The JEDI council meetings were reintroduced and clan wars became illegal. No JEDI could harm a fellow JEDI. At this time JEDI became a plague throughout NS, JEDI knights swarming the arena. New members such as Obi-wan and Luke appeared and many others without starwars names =P.

But again teh ghosts of the past haunted the old leader, as a strong NS player Darth Sideous divided JEDI into 2. DarthVader who was still derusting lost many members to Darth Sideous' new guild, Jedi. Yoda and CaptainNeeda stayed at DarthVaders side, while many otehrs joined the impressive DarthSideous, who be all means was a great player.

Times were tough in JEDI as a third JEDI guild entered teh arena. And after much JEDI clan wars =( between guilds DarthVader left the NS scene. Soon after that DarthSideuos left, and the third JEDI guild.... well they didnt last long =(. Even Yoda left his name behind after seeing so many tragic events in his JEDI life.

Again JEDI decreased in numbers, though not in many, just that there was no authority in place. But during this short period one member who I praise greater for his efforts, especially when I doubted his ability, put his life into JEDI to prove me wrong, and thank god he did.

Epoch V- Unspoken Hero

Throughout the last 2 epochs, since the start of qui-gon, one member of JEDI was often slandered by his name. He did not know nor did I for that matter that DarthVader would appear. But he was constantly asking me, to let him lead JEDI. This name who has just recently left NS i feel sadend, as his name will always bring a smile to my face, DarthVader =)

He was not the old founder DarthVader, but anotehr DarthVader just to make things difficult, but after the old founder left, he stood up among us all and brought back JEDI again. At some stages I recall, there were too many JEDI in the arena =P. And not were all noobs, for he spent great time helping to train all these members, and though he was not a great NS player, though still very good, he managed to organise and control JEDI without a problem.

This was a the Augustus age =P for JEDI. As DarthVader(the new) brought no conflicts between JEDI members not 1 clan war =). And with his recent departure, I hope he reads this one day, so he can realize how much I thought of his efforts for JEDI and the praise I give him now, Thank you.

But with Darth gone and only one last member of the old JEDI clan CaptainNeeda, where is JEDI heading now.....

-CaptainNeeda

Epoch VI? - thought there was 5?
