The Jidaigeki was a noble monastic, and nontheistic religious order and the most powerful and most important space samurai clans, united in their devotion to the living spirit from 40,000 years ago, that fell during the Bokken period. As one of the most powerful space samurai clans, the Jidaigeki were known for wielding lightsabers and natural ability to harness the powers of the living spirit, they followed Iconian teachings and stood as guardians of peace in the United Federation of Planets. The clan was originally established on Heian. In later years, the Jidaigeki Space Shuttle served as the hub of all Jidaigeki activity in the galaxy. The Space Shuttle was also a temple to train young samurai, who were supervised by the Jidaigeki Masters. During the Bokken period, the Jidaigeki clan would be completely destroyed by the other space samurai clans in an all-out bloody war. (Star Trek: Journey to the Dark Corners)
