Of course, the reality is often quite different. While the [[Elder]]s are often quite secure in their position, the Equites are the most tenuous. This [[Class]] is riddled with intrigue, as the [[Order]]s compete amongst themselves through the Equite Class. Jedi of this Class often hold high positions within the Clans and Orders. Competition for position and honor is fierce. The pressure of these positions, to satisfy the Elders above them on the [[Dark Council]], and keep the [[Journeymen]] in check, has caused more than one to an early end.

The Equites, or Equals, belong to the class that comprises the middle ranks of the Brotherhood. At the point of ascension to the Equite Class, each member is formally accepted into their Order of choice: Sith, Jedi, or Force Disciple, Loyalist or Mercenary. Though the ranks carry different appellations, specific to the philosophy and duties of the order, a Force Disciple Mystic will be equal to a Sith Warrior of their respective Order.

Of course, the reality is often quite different. While the Elders are often quite secure in their position, the Equite are the most tenuous. This Class is riddled with intrigue, as the Orders compete among themselves through the Equite Class. Jedi of this Class often hold high positions within the Clans and Orders.
