Gheetan Empire Introduces Jediism as Official Spiritual Order

May 19, 2025 – Imperial Capital, Gheetan

In a groundbreaking development within the Great Gheetan Empire, His Imperial Majesty has proclaimed the official founding of the United Jedi Church of Gheetan (U.J.C.G.). This spiritual institution is dedicated to the living Force, the Jedi Code, and the principles of peace, wisdom, and harmony.

The Church, enshrined by imperial charter, defines Jediism not as fiction but as a legitimate philosophical and spiritual path. Its founding documents assert: “The Force is a real, living energy present in all things,” and uphold a sacred commitment to compassion, mindfulness, and service to the greater good.

The Emperor himself serves as the Imperial Jedi Master—the Supreme Head of the Church—and oversees the newly established High Council of the Force, a spiritual body without temporal authority.

Members of the Church are bound to the Jedi Code:

There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.

The charter also outlines a structured hierarchy that includes Jedi Initiates, Knights, Masters, and High Council Members. A distinctive feature is the Lightsaber Requirement: all Knights or higher must possess and maintain a lightsaber, seen not as a weapon but a symbol of spiritual dedication and peacekeeping.

The Church’s founding document further provides guidance on meditation, conduct, service, and a daily spiritual routine for followers. It establishes a strong moral code emphasizing compassion, humility, and balance. Violations such as abuse of power or igniting a lightsaber in rage are strictly prohibited.

“Through Discipline, Peace. Through Peace, Harmony. Through Harmony, the Force,” states the Church's Manual of Study and Conduct, offering a blueprint for spiritual life within the Empire.

The lightsaber of the reigning Emperor is now recognized by Imperial Decree as the Imperial Weapon of the Empire, a sacred symbol of divine rule and unity. Local lords may similarly designate their own Weapons of the Realm.

The Kingdom of Arcadia has acknowledged the development with respectful curiosity, though no formal diplomatic statement has yet been issued.

The United Jedi Church of Gheetan now joins the annals of recognized spiritual institutions within the Empire, heralding a new age of philosophy, discipline, and galactic resonance.
