The Path of Baadu
The Baadu, or Gray Jedi, are a rare breed of force users. They consciously try to remain neutral in the struggle between the Dark Side and the true ways of the Jedi. This is not an easy task, and it is harder to attain even a fair amount of neutrality when one is working with the Force. A very specialized Force Power (The Cleansing) is needed for the existence of the Baadu. NOTE: Baadu are very rare. NO non-force users (except those with Scholar: Jedi Lore) should have heard of them, and only Jedi Masters should have heard of them. Note that I say “heard,” and not “be a fountain of youth in the Ways of the Baadu.” There should not be anyone spinning off tales of the dozens of Baadu-related stories that they've heard.
History of the Baadu:
The Way of the Baadu was spawned from Biirta Baadu, a human Jedi Master who flirted with the Dark Side for much of his very long, Force using life. He never actually became an adept of the Dark Side, but became quite well versed in its use. Biirta managed
to develop a Force power that was able to keep him somewhat free from the clutches of the Dark Side. He was always just beyond reach. He never taught anybody his findings, but his journal survived. A few copies of his journal were made, and they exist scattered throughout the galaxy.
The Baadu tend to be very solitary. There is no unity in the ranks of the Baadu, and there may be enmity between members on the rare occasions they meet. The way of the Baadu is a lonely path, and few people can maintain the duality of consciousness it
requires. Most Baadu tend to lead “questionable” lives, doing things along the lines of bounty hunting, smuggling, etc. Although these acts are certainly illegal, their evilness can be questioned...
