The Force

"Well, the Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi

The Force, known by many names by many various races and organizations throughout galactic history, was a mystical energy field connecting all things in the universe. Emanated by all living creatures, all beings possessed an innate spiritual connection to the Force, but a few execeptional individuals, termed Force-sensitives and identifiable by a high ratio of microorganisms known as midi-chlorians in their bodies, could tap directly into the Force's power and use it to perform seemingly supernatural feats, such as precognition and telekinetic manipulation of the world around them. As a concept seemingly outside the understanding of most commonly accepted scientific laws and theories, the Force was the subject of religious interest throughout the known universe, being a central aspect of countless religious belief systems, some solely dedicated to its study.
