Medjai:
There isn't an official order of the Medjai per say as it's members live in clan based societies which has caused many internal conflicts between the clans over the ages.

The Medjai are of the belief that there is no inherent light or dark side of the Force as it's all the same to them, therefor both light and dark side abilities are used by the Medjai and it is the individual themselves that determine whether they are good or evil or more often than not neutral.
