The downturn of opinion upon the Jedi Order began during the opening year of the peace treaty between the New Republic and Imperial Remnant. As the militaries slashed their budgets, (due to no war), the Jedi Order became relied upon more and more for their negotiatory skills and role as mediators. However, the fledging Order was still not ready for such a responsibility and soon enough the Jedi were faced with more crisis' than their numbers could manage. Aeon-old disputes flared through long rivalries between neighbouring systems. Disaffected New Republic and Imperial personnel tried their hands at continuing their own personal war in mockery of the treaty and the border disputes grew more frequent by each passing day and so the galaxy began to question the effectiveness of the Jedi.
