Temple Ciphers were elite agents of the Jedi Temple Security Force that were Force-sensitive and used a Force technique to manipulate elements around them, most notably rock. The Ciphers acted as the internal security and, unofficially, special forces of the Jedi Order, as well as the following New Jedi Order. Ciphers were rarely seen outside of the Temple, but were known to sometimes accompany Jedi on missions across the galaxy. The organization remained shady and secretive, with the majority of the public not even knowing that they were called Ciphers.
