Guild Information

Jen'Jidai is a fanatical sect sympathetic and loyal to the Sith Empire -- fanatical even by Sith standards. Two Sith Lords began this faction, establishing their base of operations out of the Aeten System on Aeten II. The main concept of the sect is to enforce the belief that all creatures should pursue their own perfection. This must be done without limitations. Its concepts and methodologies are derived from the belief that perfection of the physical and spiritual, through the complete mastery of the force, will allow transcendence to a perfect destiny. To further their goals, they have also contracted a number of elite warriors not of the Sith philosophy to bolster their strength, including an entire Mandalorian clan known as Clan Blood Shadow.

Guild Background

The Guild is now 10 years old, begun in 20 ATC by the brothers Darth Drahl and Darth Xenith on Aeten II near the mining colony of Arete. The name they chose means "Dark Jedi". The crown jewel within their base of operations is their own Academy, established shortly after the guild was founded. There, they train young force-users in the Sith philosophies so that one day those students will join in the ranks of their loyal fighting force.

Goals/Ambitions/Plans

Simply stated, Jen'Jidai's goal is to wipe out both the Jedi and the Republic. This goal can be implemented in a variety of ways, from political and economic manuverings to outright military assault.

Values/Beliefs

As a Sith organization, there is a necessary and proper emphasis on strength and striving to attain perfection. It is recognized that there are many different types of strengths, but so long as the individual is forever attempting to forge themselves into a better and more perfect version as they actively strive to meet their destiny, Jen'Jidai will continue to support their efforts.

Sects Within the Guild:


Cardinal Syndicate

The Cardinal Syndicate is a confederation of mercenaries, bounty hunters, assassins and other occupations of war that have been commissioned by Jen'Jidai to serve as their most proficient warriors.

Clan Blood Shadow

A sub-group of the Cardinal Syndicate, this Mandalorian clan has been contracted by Jen'Jidai for an extended duration to serve as their elite troops. Traditional mando'ade in every way, the Elders of Clan Blood Shadow did not sacrifice one shred of honor or tradition in signing this contract -- they made certain of that.

Jen'Jidai is accepting Applications

Updated as of August 17th, 2009

*Please note that though we accept applications, we are quite picky on who we accept. Our application process is long and detailed. If you wish to join this guild, be prepared for such.

1. Who are we?

Jen'Jidai is a RP/PvP guild for the game Star Wars: The Old Republic. The guild is a chapter of Legend-Gaming, created in June of 2006 by several MMO veterans coming together to form a tight knit community. The guild is now run by Drahl and Xen, two founding members of the original Legend-Gaming.

2. How many members does Jen'Jidai have? *Updated 8-17-09*

Currently we have over 100 active members in Legend-Gaming. Unlike many of the other 'communities' out there, we do monthly roll calls at random times. Thus if you are not active in game in one of our chapters, you are removed from the guild. Some guilds boast high numbers, we boast active and dedicated members. We intend to slow our recruitment down once Jen'Jidai reaches 125 - 130 members. Current Jen'jidai numbers are around 85. For a detailed look at our roster, please follow this link. Currently we past the halfway point to our member tally goal. We are quite happy with this as we still, most likely, have over a year to go until release. In all honesty, a lot of guilds will flood their rosters with hundreds of people. If that is their wish, so be it. But it's simply not our policy to do this. We feel a smaller, tighter group of 100 members is far superior to a big guild of 400. A successful guild only needs 50-100 people to be the best in game. We've proven it before, we'll prove it again.

3. What are Jen'Jidai's plans?

Jen'Jidai is a RP/PvP guild, assuming PvP is in Sw:Tor. Wet do not require our members to role-play, but we do not look down upon those who do. We hope to be a major player in Player verses Player, if it exists, and we intend to put much of our resources and effort into such. We also plan to conquer all of the PvE content. Basically we are attempting to achieve everything possible in this very rich, lore driven world. The guild wishes to be a suitable home for die hard pvpers, role-players,and PvErs. Expect 2-3 PvE raids a week, a couple of Role-Play events a week, and PvP every day (if PvP is available. We surely hope it is.)

4. What are the requirements for becoming a member of Jen'Jidai?

In order to become a member, you must:

a). Be an active member of the guild and contribute to guild events, raids, and so forth.

b). You must be at least 17 years of age.

c). Understand you are joining a community, not a guild. Upon joining Jen'Jidai, you are joining Legend-Gaming. So if you're not looking for a tight knit community concept, we're not the right fit for you.

Go here and fill out an application. After submitting your application, you will be contacted via the forums for a voice interview in Ventrilo. If the applicant is approved, he/she becomes a full member. This is for Pre-Game only.
Once Sw:tor is out, we will continue to take applications, though we will be much more selective. Obviously once the is game out, we will have an easier time assessing the applicant's abilities. The same process will continue after the game is out, with one major exception. If the adept is approved, he/she will "NOT" become a full member until a two week trial is completed. Unlike many guilds, this two week trial is not a trial only in name. The adept will undergo many tests to prove their worthiness in this month, some of which will try their patience, skill level, maturity and discipline.


5. Does Jen'Jidai have in game alliances and enemies yet?

Since we are not 100% certain there will be pvp in Sw:tor, we have not bothered with the entire alliance/enemy concept yet. But there are guilds out there we tend to like and there are guilds out there we dislike. We've been around for a long time in the mmo scene...we've developed rivals and friends and we don't see that changing anytime soon.

6. Are Europeans welcome in Jen'Jidai? Or is it US only?

Though we do accept European members, we are a US based guild. Our official time zone is EST. We will be on a US server. Europeans are highly advised to consider this before they apply to Jen'Jidai. The majority of our events, raids, etc will be done during US prime time hours, which is basically while the Europeans are asleep. This is simply because we are a US guild on a US server.

7. Is Jen'Jidai really a guild of evil people?

What is your definition of Evil? Our entire guild concept is we are neither good or evil. We don't think anyone has the right or wisdom to classify anyone as evil or good, for without one, the other cannot be defined. The Jedi consider us evil because we pursue the darkside of the force. But, honestly, they are fools. They don't understand the force. They simply dribble lies and seek to limit the freedoms of all. We view them as evil. We will destroy them, utterly..without remorse or pity.

I also wanted to reiterate that any specific questions about the guild that the introduction post did not cover can be Private Messaged to me or Emailed to me. I'm always available to field questions about Legend-Gaming and/or Jen'jidai.


I also included a link of our RP-Wiki lore in the introduction post. For you lore mongers and RP folks out there; I think you'll find we have some of the most involved and organized lore of any guild in SW:TOR. This is not by accident. We have a lot of focus on lore and we have wonderful RPers and Lore masters dedicated to evolving our story.


Interested in PvP? Good!! We have a history of being one of the top PvP guilds on our server in other games we've played together. This is also not by accident. We put a lot of focus in our end game agenda. So if you're a PvP addict, like me, you'll find plenty of practice and achievements over in Jen'jidai.

We don't know how Bioware's endgame raid system is going to work. But rest assured; Jen'jidai will be a pioneer when it comes to end game raiding. Every game we've played together, we've put a lot of focus into end game raiding. Our goal is always to be a World first achievement guild. So far, we've accomplished this several times. So if you're into End game raiding - look no further.

A post of mine was deleted welcoming two of our new full members. Above is the quote from moderators showing I was well within my right to post it according to the new rules.

So I'll post it again;

Everyone please congratulate Mortiz and Alias on making full membership inside Jen'jidai.

Be amazed by our active RP

Not only do we have an extensive lore, but also we're in an ongoing process of developing further guild lore through RP.

At the present time, Jen'jidai is pulling together to develop our Invasion of Aeten II backstory; an ongoing RP currently involving at least six different topics over our forums.


This is in addition to hosting numerous open and active free RolePlay topics which bring our members together to interact and develop their characters prior to game release. We're also delving into specific RPs focused towards both the Jen'jidai background as well as our individual character's backgrounds, integrating them into one another so that everyone will find their home within the various areas of the guild.

Yet even with all that going on, we've got even more in the works to ensure that Jen'jidai continues pushing on as an active pre-launch guild.

Here it is again:

Potential Jen'jidai recruits:

This month at our guild meeting we will also be discussing our BH group called the "Cardinal Syndicate." This group was contracted by the Jen'jidai and has a great history of accomplishments. This is also a great experience within our role playing community.

Also, our Mandalorian group "Clan Blood Shadow" has been an engaging time of RP with many of our Mandalorian Bounty Hunters. This has been great for all who have been involved. Please inquire with any of our members if you would like more information.

Thank you.

For those of you who would like to meet the guild beyond the game, Jen'Jidai has a Team Fortress 2 server.
Add 66.55.158.92:27015 to your favorite server list

A number of us are in there most nights and it is a great way to get to know our members.
Feel free to pm me if you have any questions or issues.

Jen'Jidai also has an extensive ranking system. This system doesn't serve to segregate our membership into exclusivity, but rather exists in order to place greater responsibility upon those who have the time, experience, and dedication to improve and help administer the guild itself.

Also, the rankings held by those without the guild extend into the context of RP as well.

Taken directly from the Jen'jidai Wiki:
The following ranks exist within the guild:

Sith Master - co leaders of the guild

Sith Lord/Admiral - Officers and Instructors within the Guild and Academy

Sith Archon/Sith Vice-Admiral - Assistants to the Lords and Admirals

Sith Knight/Sith Captain - Full members of the guild

Sith Adept/Sith Infantry - Members accepted under trial basis

Sith Hopeful - Applicant whose application is still under review

Thanks for your understanding,

Donna
