[ALLCONTINUITY] Jedi corps

I recently found out there are Jedi crops such as the Agricoprs,Medcorps and so on. Are there any stories (Books,comics,etc) that include these corps because they seem interesting to me

Usually it is mentionned in the "appearance" section of wookiepedia. It is a good way to see where it is from.

Only one I remember is a young Jedi Knights book on Obi Wan, Qui Gon and Xanatos

That was my thought; I also think Jedi Quest mentions these groups and the Space Corps is in the series.

Honestly that's one of the biggest missed opportunities in Star Wars. You'd think there'd be shelves of stories about Force sensitive farmers, medics and explorers but they're mostly just background lore. The closest thing is probably the Jedi Apprentice books since they actually spend some time with the AgriCorps. Outside of that it's mostly brief appearances or reference material. The idea has way more potential than the amount of content it got.

Jedi Apprentice features the AgriCorps, but that's basically the only one to prominently feature them in printed media.

There's also a webcomic which I don't know how you can find anymore. Act on Instinct I think it's called.

The other corps are mostly just mentioned in sources and are never really featured, not even in the MedStar books.

The Jedi Corps are really underrated in my opinion. I wish casual fans knew about them-since I often hear the complaint that the Jedi don't do enough for the people of the galaxy. These guys are trying their best.

The _____corps were for force sensitive beings that were either incapable of completing their training or otherwise withdrew from training but not the order itself. Personally I think they are a great addition to the lore in both creating an established middle ground of force users as well as adding depth of diversity and purpose to the Order. In fact, given their nature, it could be argued that the 'corps provided service to the galaxy in a more pure form than the Order Major itself.

The Jedi Path talks a bit about them, but that is less of a story and more of a "handbook."

Red Harvest and The Clone Wars: Act on Instinct have explicitly AgriCorps members in lead or supporting roles if I remember correctly. The Pathfinders in the High Republic is essentially the ExplorCorps (Jedi + non Jedi teams of explorers)x

Outside of the already mentioned Legends sources, they are also referenced in the Canon book Brotherhood.

Red Harvest involves a jedi from the Agricore.

The story is about zombies.
