The darkside is a tool, and many forget that...when we started to draw on it...Well, it's like I told my acolytes. Sometimes, when a fire erupts there are those that flock to it's warmth, it's light, and in the process they become consumed and catch fire themselves. In doing so they runaround, catching ablaze all that they can. In this, they have extreme amounts of power. But it is shortlived. So is the story of how the Cult of the Bogan was founded.―Dhar-Kor Jord[src]

The Force (also known as Viism or The Living Force in contexts where it is needed to be separated from other Forces, although within the context of this article the term Living Force refers to a specific aspect of the Force studied particularly by the Jedi) was a metaphysical, binding, and ubiquitous power that held enormous importance for both the Jedi and Sith monastic orders. The Force's power came from the presence of Vions, particles that could be manipulated by force sensitive lifeforms. The Force was viewed in many different aspects, including, but not limited to, the light side, the dark side, the Unifying Force, and the Living Force. The first two aspects were concerned with the moral compass of the Force in its various manifestations. The light side of the Force was the facet aligned with compassion, courage, healing, and benevolence, while the dark side of the Force was the element aligned with hatred, fear, aggression, and malevolence. The latter two aspects were defined by prominent Jedi philosophies: The Unifying Force essentially embraced space and time in its entirety while the Living Force dealt with the energy of living things. Though the Force was categorized in this way, there were no specific abilities or powers that were only usable by a follower of a different path of the Force; the Force partially existed inside the life forms that used it, and drew energy from their emotions.

Some beings, particularly the Sith, believed that the dark side of the Force was more powerful than the light, though it was possible that the dark side was just more tempting to those who used it (or desired to use it). Others thought of the Force as an entity capable of intelligent thought, almost as a sort of god. Anakin Skywalker, who was believed to have been conceived by the Force itself, may have; if this belief is correct; lent credit towards the view of the Force as a sentient entity.

Though the Force was thought to flow through every living thing, it could only be harnessed by beings described as "Force-sensitive". This Force-sensitivity was correlated with, and sometimes attributed to, a high count of internal micro-organisms called midi-chlorians that were found in a Force-sensitive's blood: the higher the count, the greater the being's potential Force ability, though there were some exceptions to this rule. Force-sensitive beings were able to tap into the Force to perform acts of great skill and agility as well as control and shape the world around them. Sometimes this ability was described as having a strong Force "aura".

The Order of the Limpids were able to ”mute“ the force, in a particular area, similar to what Darth Maul did in his duel with Qui-Gon Jin, and Obi-Wan, except they were able to use this to negate others’ force abilities at a given time, and by extension, giving them pain by pulling the force out of their essence, at the time being. Skilled practitioners, such as the Order’s founder were able to pull this off in a wider range, and for a longer time. This ability is feared by even the likes of Emperor Sheev Palpatine, which caused the Order of the Limpids to exist, knowing that they have an advantage against the Emperor’s might. The ability is also able to slowly cut the effects of Force Lightning, even that of Darth Sidious himself, although this was done in a similar way to Jedi Master Yoda, in a very short time.
