This category contains characters that have mastered the Sixth of the classical Lightsaber Forms, Niman. Niman is a Jack of all Trades fighting style that takes elements from all preceding Five forms, built upon a core foundation of Soresu. The Form emphasises moderation and control as part of its inception by more conservatively minded Jedi Masters whom disagreed with the domineering principles of Forms Four and Five. These Masters engineered the Form so it was easy to learn but difficult to Master. Niman did not require much practice to stay competent, allowing more academic Masters to focus on learning and teaching or mediate political disputes across the Galaxy, hence it's alternative moniker; the Diplomat's Form
The form possesses no weaknesses, but has no fundamental strengths. You are competent at everything but master of nothing. This is not to downplay Niman however, as such notable figures in Galactic History as Exar Kun, who for all intents and purposes was the greatest Lightsaber duelist of his era, contended with by only a select few. In the hands of a Sith, Niman's core principles of moderation and control went out of the window and it became an unpredictable 'Swiss Army Knife' form.
