This category contains characters who were members of the Jedi War Council.

History
The Jedi War Council was established by Jedi Master Gram Alnin in mid 22 BBY, roughly three months after the Battle of Geonosis. Alnin believed that since the Jedi had been inducted into the GAR military command, the Order required a governing body devoted to the war efforts. He conferred with Yoda on its creation, and both agreed on its role: the main Jedi Council would still act as the leadership of the Order, making tactical decisions for the Jedi Command and reporting to the Senate, while a separate Council would focus on less major actions such as task force positions, relaying orders and tracking the progress of planetary campaigns. Yoda granted Alnin permission to form a War Council consisting of the Order's most tactical and experienced minds. The Jedi War Council served a major role in GAR command throughout the war, coordinating both with military officers and the Jedi Council in keeping all Republic and Confederate positions in check, relocating and assigning leaders to Republic units, and organizing large offensives, such as the Outer Rim Sieges.
