The Cademiman Cultural Tower was a kilometer-and-a-half-tall cloudcutter in the Capital District of Cademimu V. For millennia, it served as a museum of Cademimu's history, with several sections devoted to Cademimu's military traditions and industrial pursuits. It was a common tourist destination and a major historic site. When the Supreme Modality took over Cademimu, First Dorn took the Tower as his headquarters, adding a security wall, barracks space, defensive batteries, and several stories.
Less than two hours before the Battle of Cademimu V, the 6th Republic Marine Force Reconnaissance Platoon and Jedi Knight Tirien Kal-Di infiltrated the Tower. Kal-Di and the platoon's Bravo Squad succeeded in killing First Dorn, Fourth Besh, and Fourth Leth, but Second Aurek ambushed and slaughtered Alpha Squad. Sensing his comrades' death, Second Aurek evacuated to a safe distance, then blew up the tower with explosives the Marines had brought.
Second Aurek had the Republic blamed for the explosion, which caused additional confusion in the early days of the battle. Even after Cademimu's Modality garrison surrendered, many Cademimans remained suspicious of the Republic's role in the Tower's fall.
