Ansion Jedi Command Center (Jedi Renaissance)

The Jedi academy of was an ancient facility constructed by Jedi Master Elriza Zordon to serve as a command center for the Order's operations in the regions of the galaxy threatened by the New Sith Empire. Serving as the meeting place of the Council of Ten Masters the Command Center linked Ansion with planets including, Purpilia, Gratha, , Liaria and Aquitar. When most of the Council fell into darkness and declared for the New Sith Empire, the Command Center on Ansion came under assault by Bandora's army of endless soldiers. The Jedi Rangers loyal to Master Zordon fought tirelessly to overthrow the Sith, eventually loosing the Command Center during the war.

Rebuilding the facility over time, the Command Center remained largely vacant aside from a droid staff and Master Zordon, who was stuck in a time warp and could only communicate with the galaxy via a plasma tube installed in the Command Center's main chamber. With Bandora imprisoned and the other Dark Masters in hiding or suspended animation, the facility remained opened for centuries until Bandora's release and subsequent regrouping of the Dark Masters in 13 BrS. Calling upon the modern Jedi Order for assistance, the Silent War was waged in complete secrecy across the northern region of the galactic disk between the Order's Shadows and the surviving Dark Masters and their armies. Ending with the death of Zordon and vanquishing of the armies, the Command Center fell empty once more until after the Clone Wars when it was reopened as an academy focusing on the lost art of constructing zords.

New Sith Wars
Constructed atop a mountain peak in the Kander region of the planet Ansion, the Jedi Command Center served the Jedi Order as an outpost on the Mid Rim during the tumultuous period known as the New Sith Wars. Built in anticipation of the Sith Empire's ultimate return to domination, Master Elriza Zordon convened a Council of Jedi Lords and Ladies on Ansion to discuss how best to control the armies of Sith which were swiftly conquering Republic-aligned worlds. Aside from housing the Council's main chamber, the Command Center was home to Master Zordon's Jedi Knights whom he dubbed Rangers. These Humans were assembled to safeguard the Churnis sector and look for signs of a Sith presence in nearby space. Within the lowest garages of the mountain facility, the Rangers and Zordon created a unique machine known as the Zord; a machine titan controlled through the Force and capable of basic levels of thinking. The Zords could be piloted by a single Ranger, and groups of them could be brought together to form a towering fighting machine.

As the fighting on the Outer Rim intensified, Councilor Bandora stopped attending meetings and secreting herself away within her private chambers in her academy near Taris for long hours. While Masters on the Council believed that she was simply taking time to fortify her academy, Bandora had fallen to the dark side along with six other members of the Council and was in the practice of opening up a rift in the Force. Together with her fallen Councilors, Bandora was able to create a Shadow realm; a place where cursed souls could be sent and placed in a sort of holding pattern until summoned. Harnessing the dark side and the mysterious properties of the clay she had mined from beneath her academy, Bandora was able to use dark side alchemy to craft the clay into living flesh. The Jedi stationed at her academy joined their headmaster in her fall to the dark side and allowed their souls to be cursed with the promise of immortality. Sending her minions into battle, each one who fell found their souls imprisoned within the Shadow realm, only to return to the land of the living as Bandora's servants crafted stronger, monstrous bodies for them from the Force clays of the moon. Revealing her seemingly unbeatable army to the remaining Councilors on Ansion, Bandora led a campaign of destruction across the Outer Rim, wage war on several fronts and conquering all she encountered. Wedding fellow Councilor Zedd, their dark side union proved far to strong for the reduced number of Jedi on the Outer Rim and their reign seemed all but unstoppable.

Shocked and haunted by Bandora and the others' betrayal, Zordon and the remaining Councilors prepared to defend themselves from Bandora's army of reincarnating soldiers. Zordon's Rangers were largely successful at defeating the fiercest of the Dark Masters' warriors but the ability for the Sith to recreate each fallen soldier quickly dwindled the number of Rangers in the field. For a millennium Bandora waged war against Ansion until launching a full-scale assault on the world in 1,031 BrS where Bandora infiltrated the Command Center when she feigned a desire to treat with Zordon. Within the Command Center, Bandora tore open a rift in time and cast Zordon into it and leaving him disconnected from the rest of the galaxy. Leaving the Command Center, Bandora was caught off guard by the remaining Rangers and was imprisoned along with several of her chief generals and alchemists and set adrift in space. Returning to the Command Center to find Zordon gone, the Rangers disbanded and set off to do good where they could, leaving the Command Center under the command of a small contingent of droids. These droids slowly began the process of searching for Zordon, for they knew he was not dead and simply missing. Locating him within a different dimension of the Force, the droids undertook the painstaking task of assembling a plasma tube that was calibrated to interact with Zordon. Once completed, Zordon's disembodied head appeared within the plasma tube, slaved to the universe by the energy flowing through the small energy field.

Silent Wars
In 48 BBY, the prison of Bandora was discovered by feckless spacers and the ancient Dark Queen was released upon the galaxy once more. Along with her henchmen, the former Jedi hijacked their liberators' ship and returned to the Rogue Moon to hunt out their old base. Using her dark side magics to restore the palace, Bandora took up residence once more and began mining activities once more. Around the galaxy, dark forces were at work and her old compatriots, the group known as the Dark Councilors of Ansion came out of stasis and exile, imprisonment and death, to wreak havoc on the Outer Rim. The ancient command center of Ansion, which had been completely forgotten by the Order, was run by a droid faithful to the Republic and the Jedi who detected the return of the ancient Dark Councilors and alerted the Coruscant Temple of the disturbance. Zordon, who had been imprisoned in his own right, was able to retain a presence at the academy on Ansion and began training Jedi to repel Bandora's forces as the Order mustered an army of Shadows to counter the newly started war on the Outer Rim.

From her palace, Bandora's assaults were calculated and vicious. Her strongest generals were reincarnated in powerful new bodies which she made grow to towering sizes. When the Jedi Order attacked, they were careful to keep news of the return of their dark enemies quiet, which earned the conflict the name the Silent Wars. As word spread among the returned Dark Councilor's of Bandora's growing strength, Zedd returned from exile to lead her armies to victory. Together the Dark Jedi ruined the planet Jarnollen, killing half the world's populace in one violent assault. As war erupted on countless fronts as the joined might of the Dark Councilors was unleashed, the Jedi seemed all but outmatched. Salvation came in the form of a new foe for Bandora and her allies; the Machine Empire, an organization of living droids known as the Silentium. Unleashing chaos among the armies of the Dark Councilors, the Empire attacked the Rogue Moon palace and badly damaged the structure forcing Bandora and her minions to flee. Once Bandora reorganized, a massive push by the Dark Councilors and the Machine Empire against the planets of the Outer Rim almost destroyed the Jedi task force dispatched to end the conflict until the Padawan Tomac Moorcé destroyed Master Zordon's energy field, releasing a wave of light side energy which washed across the afflicted worlds. When the armies of the Dark Councilors were touched by the energy wave their clay-and-alchemy bodies were reduced to sand and their life force released to the Force. With Bandora and her armies gone, the old academy lay abandoned once more as the Silent Wars came to an end.
