The Jedi Complex on Tython was the headquarters of the Reformed Jedi Order during the reign of the Galactic Union. The Jedi of the reformed Order believed that the temple on Coruscant was too big a target and too easily accessed, so, during the Order's reformation in 138 ABY, the Jedi built a city-like complex composed of multiple temples, libraries, and training areas, to serve as their base of operations, while turning the Jedi Temple on Coruscant into a central Jedi Academy. It was built upon a Force nexus in the mountains of Tython.
Layout and architecture[]
Located amidst the mountains of Tython, the Jedi complex was almost completely inaccessible to the other inhabitants of the world; only being able to be accessed by a starfighter or transport flying into the mountains. The complex was set up in a city-like structure which was composed of several dozen buildings, each serving a specific purpose. The tallest building, standing at the center of the complex, was about a kilometer taller than the mountain peaks surrounding it, due to it having been built on the peak of the tallest mountain on Tython, dubbed Mount Jedi by the locals of Tython, and Temple Mountain by the Jedi. It housed the Jedi High Council as well as the living quarters for the council members and a special room set aside for war-time planning.
The second tallest building in the complex, which stands next to Council Building, housed the new Jedi Archives as well as the storage location of all of the Order's most important holocrons. It was a study location for both senior and beginner Jedi alike. Some of the smaller buildings housed things such as the lightsaber construction chambers, meditation chambers, meeting halls, living quarters, and communications arrays. About a mile outside the complex sat a smaller scale version of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, acting a training place for Youngling Jedi and a meeting place for Union diplomats and military personal to discuss issues with the Jedi.
Behind the scenes[]
The name of the mountain this complex was located on, Temple Mountain, is a reference to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the former site of the two Jewish Temples.
