SpecializationUpon a Padawan's ascension to Knighthood, they face the choice of continuing down one of three branches of Jedi training. Choosing based on preference and personal talents and skills, the opportunity to join the ranks of the Jedi Guardian, Jedi Consular, or Jedi Sentinel is open to all who pass the Jedi Trials. In addition to their specialization, the High Council can demand that the members of the Order assume military ranks in order to defend the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances.
Jedi GuardianKnights preferring to take a physically active stance against the dark side of the Force and all other threats to the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances are known to pursue the title of Guardian. Brandishing their lightsabers proudly, Guardians focus much of their training on perfecting their sparring and athletic skills, as well as the art of unarmed combat. The Force skills studied by the Guardians are typically those used for quickly disabling an opponent and aiding in agility and stamina. The most profound masters of this specialization are known as Warrior Master.
Jedi Ace: Members of the Jedi Starfighter Corps are known as Aces and specialize in using a starfighter as an extension of their being, combining piloting skills with mastery of the Force.
Lightsaber Instructor: Stationed at the New Jedi Temple and Academies, these individuals are battle-scarred Masters who are determined to pass down their experience to the young students of the Order. The highest ranking instructor within the academy is given the title of Battlemaster by the High Council and is responsible for selecting and referring future instructors.
Jedi Peacekeeper: Those Jedi wishing to pursue a peacekeeping role are stationed within planetary or sectoral government's security agencies where they work as the area's special police. Helping to quell riots and capture terrorists, the Temple Security Force is made up of Peacekeepers. Within its ranks, Jedi can be trained as Gate Master, Sniper, or Brute.
Jedi Weapon Master: A Jedi Master who has mastered the technique of wielding an exotic weapon is dubbed a Weapons Specialist, or Weapon Master. The Weapon Master is among the greatest physical fighters of the Order.

Overseen by the Council of Reconciliation, Consulars work as healers, prophets, and researchers, wielding a lightsaber only for self defense. The most studied masters of this specialization were known as Sage Master.
Jedi Ambassador: The face of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances to a newly discovered world, Ambassadors work closely with bureaucrats to assist in greeting unaligned governments and helping them join the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. Some Ambassadors are designated as advisers to certain Senators or even the Chief of State upon request.
Jedi Diplomat: Always right in the middle of a dispute, Jedi Diplomats are given the authority to hammer out a compromise or treaty during tense negotiations, backed by the full support of the Senate and New Jedi Order. Jedi are often called upon to act as impartial diplomats, possibly due to the Order's traditions of detachment from secular society and the phenomenon of Force-guided intuition. They can serve as moderators and negotiators during disputes, and their judgments are recognized as just and binding. When acting as diplomats, Jedi take the utmost care to be impartial and fair-minded. The legacy of this impartiality is such that, decades after the Jedi Purge and Palpatine's false accusations of the corruption of the Jedi Order, the legend of Jedi impartiality lived on in the memories of some sections of galactic society. Some species who respect the Jedi – for example, the Barabel – retain a tradition of calling upon a Jedi's impartial judgment even for minor interpersonal disputes.
Jedi Healer: Some Jedi will focus on the more humanitarian aspects of the Force, manipulating the Living Force to perform the art of healing. Led by the Circle of Jedi Healers and headquartered out of the New Jedi Temple's Halls of Healing, healers are also deployed to serve aboard MedStar frigates and, occasionally, in Galactic Alliance Defense Force's mobile surgical units.
Jedi Lore Keeper: Jedi wishing to contribute to the growth of the Jedi Archives will become Lore Keepers, a group directed by the Librarian's Assembly. Divided into historians, archivists, and librarians, each group works for the proliferation of knowledge and preservation of the past.
Jedi Researcher: Solving theory and updating the Archives of the Order, researchers choose specializations such as that in archaeology, geology, biology, mathematics, and astronomy.
Jedi Seer: Those Jedi specifically predisposed to receive visions through the Force are known as Seers, maintaining and updating the Order's holocrons. The most perceptive of these Jedi are known as Prophets and foretell the future of the galaxy.

Jedi SentinelJedi Sentinels are Knights that seek a balance between the intensive combat training of the Jedi Guardians and the wider philosophical views and teaching responsibilities of the Jedi Consulars. These Jedi ferret out deceit and injustice, bringing it to light. They are generally employed in scouting missions and are skilled in security, computers, or stealth techniques, and also have diplomatic skills.
Jedi Investigator: Jedi who are specially appointed by the High Council to uncover hidden and obscure threats to the galaxy such as powerful criminal syndicates, corruption and conspiracy against the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances and other shady menaces are Jedi Investigators. The Jedi investigator will often work alone and undercover to infiltrate suspicious organizations or will be busy investigating some act of crime.
Jedi Shadow: The secret police of the Order, Shadows work under the supervision of the First Knowledge Council and are dispatched to destroy all agents of the dark side. Heavily employed after the New Sith Wars, the Shadows are responsible for erasing the word "Sith" from the minds of the majority of galactic citizens.
Jedi Watchman: Jedi Watchmen are charged with overseeing a particular system or sector, thus serving as a type of liaison officer between the system or sector and the High Council as well as the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances in general. Jedi Watchmen are often highly skilled in diplomacy and possess knowledge of the culture of the system or sector they oversee; typically having spent many years living among the people of said world.

Military and WarfareIn times of war, especially when Sith forces are involved, Jedi will sometimes assume military ranks and govern armies of Galactic Alliance Defense Force military units, as was seen in the Mandalorian Wars, the Jedi Civil War, the New Sith Wars, and the Clone Wars. So Jedi indeed become soldiers, not just keepers of the peace. During the New Sith Wars, the Order created the Army of Light, a massive military branch that consisted of the majority of active Jedi.
Jedi Commander: A Padawan serving as a Commander in the Galactic Alliance Defense Force, the Jedi Commander is assigned to a Jedi General until knighted. Once a full Jedi, the Padawan is then referred to as General.
Jedi General: Jedi Knights or Masters who have been placed in command of a Galactic Alliance Defense Force army are dubbed Generals. The twenty of the most experienced Generals are raised to the rank of Senior Jedi General, leading troops and designing tactics for the war effort. Out of the twelve High Council members, ten of them become High Jedi Generals not only commanding their own army, but also supervising all other ranking Jedi.
NOTE: - Spoiler:
Every rank Jedi Knight or Brother/Sister up, will have to decide on being one of the three Jedi Classes; however, only members of the New Jedi Order currently have the option of choosing an even more specific field since most of them are quartered well within the New Jedi Temple. This will change in the future.
