They have acted as guardians of peace throughout the galaxy, settling disputes and providing the kind of sage advice that can only be given through pure benevolence and deep understanding of the Force. During the restructuring of the Galactic Republic following the New Sith War a thousand years ago, the Jedi Order willingly placed itself under the appointment to the office of the Supreme Chancellor. By the request of the leader of the galactic government, the Jedi served as ambassadors, diplomats and intermediaries to the various governing bodies of the Republic and its allies.
