Force Sentinel
The Force Sentinels, sworn protectors and elite guards, use their knowledge of the force for the good of that which they defend. Armed with their quick reflexes, compassion and loyalty they prove to be a valuable asset to any cause. They find themselves in the employ of royal families, organizations, government bodies or might be sworn to protect a location or artefact of significant importance. They excel in combat but will almost always prefer a more peaceful solution.

Era Notes: Force Sentinels are uncommon throughout all eras. During the Rise of the Empire, they tend to be found where the Old Republic has no presence. During the Rebellion Era, their numbers are not as great and because of the conflict, and they tend to keep a low profile. Some may have taken up arms with the Rebellion, but work in relative secret. By the time of the New Jedi Order, they are free to protect whatever they wish and take up arms alongside the Jedi in the fight with the Yuuzhan Vong.
