The Jedi Consular class is one of the two Force-using classes for the Republic faction, and primarily focuses on the use of Force powers for offense and defense over the use of a lightsaber. Players choose between the Jedi Shadow and Jedi Sage advanced classes. Shadows are classified as Melee Damage or Melee Tanks, and they make use of the Infiltration and Kinetic Combat skill trees. These trees teach stealth abilities and double-abilities and double- respectively, and the Shadow shares the Force power-based Balance skill tree with the Sage.
The Sage advanced class is classified as either Ranged Damage or Healing, and they can train in the Telekinetics skill tree, which benefits offensive Force powers, or the Seer tree, which supports healing and protection, in addition to the Balance skill tree.
Only the Human, Miraluka, Mirialan, Twi’lek, and Zabrak species were available for the Consular class initially, though the Legacy System unlocks the other species.
Like the Jedi Knight class, the Consular receives a Defender-class light corvette as their personal vessel. The Consular class’s five companions are Qyzen Fess, Nadia Grell, Zenith, Tharan Cedrax, and Felix Iresso
