That would be a good period to use, since the Jedi Order would be in the process of rebuilding after the Exile left her recruits behind to seek out Revan in uncharted space ([i]KotOR 2[/i]) and the Sith were still preparing for their attack on the Old Republic prior to the Sacking of Coruscant ([i]SW:TOR[/i] MMO.) at that time there were very few organisations recruiting Force users in Republic space, which would make it far easier for a 'third way' to be seeking out sensitives.

Would you be open to having a Mandalorian bodyguard helping to ease your travels through Republic space using less than entirely legal methods? After his involvement in the First Jedi Purge, where he murdered many Force sensitives while trying to claim bounties and favour with the Sith, he's realised that a more peaceful and moderate stance is required to help the galaxy face the dangers which may lay ahead.
