The Jedi Service Corps was an organization formed by the Jedi High Council during the Inter-Sith Wars era as a branch of the Jedi Order's academy. Membership within the Service Corps was voluntary, and many Jedi Knights and Masters would attach themselves to the Corps as they followed their path in the Force. Despite this, many of its members had failed to pass their Trials and therefore could not proceed in moving up in rank within the Order. The Council of Reassignment was eventually created to govern the Service Corps and assign failed Padawans or Initiates to serve in one of the branches.
