CLASSIFICATION:
Jedi Academy.
LOCATION:
Rannon (Canon Planet).
Rannon System (Outer Rim Territories).
AFFILIATION:
ACCESSIBILITY:
Embedded within the side of great mountainous terrain, the only possible entrance into this facility is via Personal Starship. The Hangar is monitored by a small trafficking Crew delegating all inbound and out-going transports to and from the Jedi Academy.
SECURITY:
- Security/Maintenance Probes.
- Security Cameras.
- Perimeter Motion Detection Beacons.
- Anti-Aircraft Blaster Canons.
- Structural Deflector Shield.
DESCRIPTION:
The Rannon Temple was built during the time of the Commenor's financial peak, House Arenais wanting for nothing in the way of credits, thus Veiere Arenais was able to have the Temple built, sparing no expense. A Marvel of interior decor, the Temple is deceivingly large as the inner workings were dug into the side of the Mountain itself, allowing for multiple facilities and the tools to teach and train in every likely subject a prospective Jedi Knight may require today.
Since the previous occupants left the Temple to be something of a derelict, Veiere Arenais second trip back to the World would see several vessels journey alongside his own, crewman and volunteers from his Home-world come to help revive and refresh the Facilities in preparation for use under the name of the Jedi Academy Network, a social network for all Jedi across the Galaxy regardless of their background or world views.
Today, the Temple of Rannon looks every bit the establishment that you would expect from the Jedi Order. After numerous weeks, the residual flow of the Dark Side of the Force has been cleansed, the air fresher and lighter on the lungs, leaving no evidence of the Temples past to burden any new minds seeking to follow the Will of the Force, guided by the Light.
POINTS OF INTEREST
ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE FACILITIES:
As the sole route for arrival and departures, the Rannon Temple Hangar is considerably vast and takes up a floor of the facility on it's own, hosting a variety of smaller vessels (Starfighters, Yachts, Freighters, Personnel Carriers and Light Corvettes). Always on stand-by for new arrivals, the engineering and maintenance crews are hard at work here to ensure all vessels are in prime shape, fit for active service.
Responsible for detecting and organizing traffic too and from the Temple Hangar, the Control Tower stands on the outside of the Hangar itself and has a wide view of the land before the Mountain Facility. Long range Sensors detect all vessels entering Rannon's orbit and should they be carrying known transponder frequencies to the Order, or otherwise radio ahead, Traffic Coordinators can then assist their arrival and ensure there is room and clear passage to and from the Jedi Temple.
Technically an extension of the primary Hangar, though reserved for Fighter pilots and the engineering crewman, this private area is used by Jedi Instructors to help teach prospective Jedi Ace/Pilots to enter into the field with the aid of the Force and the finest technology at their hands. Should the Facility come under threat, the Traffic Control Tower will alert the rest of the Temple and it is here where all qualified and ready pilots will scramble to, in the hope of fending off any would-be aggressor.
RESIDENTIAL QUARTERS:
- Jedi Knights Private Quarters.
- Jedi Masters Private Quarters.
- Faculty Lounge & Recreational Area.
- Student Shared Quarters.
It is often said that "Knowledge is power" and within the Jedi Archives, there is more than enough to go around. The Archives here are large and filled with content of all varieties, data-chips and holo-vids with information captured across the holo-net from all corners of the Galaxy and centralized by the Jedi Academy Network for the education of all Jedi that seek to further their experience and insight into the Galaxy and into the Force. There is so much to be found here in these rooms, and very few subjects are restricted to Jedi Students; those that are, are likely so for the purpose of protecting students from subjects they are not yet ready for (The way of the Dark Side).
EDUCATION FACILITIES:
Established upon a world flourishing in all kinds of life and living creatures, the Science and hydroponics facilities hold some of the finer technological works, ready for the study of various sciences (Biology, Chemistry etc), as well as the chance for the Jedi to create and harvest their own vegetation, fruit and other goods that both save on credits but too encourage a healthy diet and a place for those with an interest in the Agri-corps to come, learn and fill out their down time in the days.
Science of a different sort, here is the heart of information technology. The Artisan Wing and alternate facilities for the Engineering staff from down within the Hangar to come and use for training purposes. Jedi are offered various different avenues to experience ways that technology can bolster the Order, helping to protect and serve the Galaxy, that we might otherwise take for granted. It is here that they are able to create their personal lightsabers or learn to work upon Starships, helping to secure safe transit for others with good reliable workmanship. Fighter pilots for example, can learn to maintain their own fighters in the case that they may be downed during a mission and left to find their own means of escape. If it involves a computer, you can bet that any answers you seek may be found on this floor!
Used for official meetings called for by the Jedi Council, or otherwise important events such as the Knighting of Jedi Students as well as Knights ascending to the rank of Jedi Master. Here in this great hall, there is room for all personnel within the Temple to join one another in unity, in the interests of the Jedi Order and of the Galaxy's future.
TRAINING FACILITIES:
A vast in-door arena lined with Holographic emitters across the roof and walls meant to manipulate the surrounding area to create an alternative simulation, making it feel as though the persons using the environment are somewhere else entirely. The Holographic Projection Grid is capable of simulating all number of known species and persons of legend, feeding from the Archive Data-base and programmed by skilled Jedi Artisans to create simulations meant for the education and training of Jedi personnel. It is also common, however, for Jedi Knights and Masters to use the arena for recreational use, such as taking a brief trip to other "worlds or tropical locations". A dream or fantasy that for the briefest of moments, may seem like a reality if one has the creativity and imagination for it.
A favorite of many a Jedi Guardian, these facilities are prepared for the dueling and sparring competitions between Jedi Students and Mentors both. Taught in all seven forms of lightsaber combat, the Jedi often use their peers to help build their skillset, fending off against one another on "training settings" that ensures they don't physically injure their friends and sparring partners, aside from a few scrapes and bruises. On this floor there are eight large Dojo's, one massive arena for group activities and three classrooms for theoretical learning.
Though it may not always be the weapon of choice for a Jedi, that does not take away from the fact that all Jedi are likely to have a blaster pointed at them sooner or later, and must learn how to properly defend themselves and make use of such aggressive tools in the case that they are forced to use one out in active duty. Some Jedi are known to carry a blaster on their person, while others use these rooms to also perfect their form in Soresu, the third form of lightsaber combat and best served in deflecting blaster fire. There is an extensive variety of blasters here, however all of them have been modified to ensure that they cannot cause fatal injuries. A means of protecting and discouraging Jedi from favoring blasters too much so, over the use of their lightsabers.
MEDICAL & EMERGENCY FACILITIES:
Manned by a trio of medical droids and Jedi healers, this is the place of medical studies and treatment for all kinds of injuries caused by either training or received out in the field during active duty. Life is something cherished by all Jedi, and the studies of medicine and healing aren't solely focused in the force but also taught using the knowledge gained over decades of sentient history, taking training from numerous worlds, collected and stored within the archives that the Jedi here may be prepared to treat any sort of wound and any sort of patient that may be forced to rely upon their expertise.
Monitored by Jedi Knights and Masters who have volunteered to ensure the Jedi Temple remains secure and that their students are well looked after, the security tower serves as a liaison between the traffic control tower and the Jedi Council. Should there be a security breach or an imminent attack, they are the first to know and alert the rest of the Temple as well as get word out to other Jedi branches throughout the known regions in the case that they might not be the sole target. From there, they are responsible for organizing the Temple's defense and seeing to the evacuation of all younglings and students, if such a time should ever befall them.
It's an unfortunate fact that not everyone in the Galaxy appreciates a peaceful life, nor the personal rights of others. The Detention block here is built in order to contain temporary prisoners for later extraction to more capable hands such as the policing force for which their crimes were committed. These cells however have been specifically crafted with other Force Users in mind, not only due to the Sith, but also rogue elements that choose to take matters into their own hands at the expense of others. Within these cells, once the entrance has been sealed by ray shields, the prisoners connection to the force is cut off from the outside world, leaving them temporarily unable to call upon it in an attempt to escape or harm their captors.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
While Veiere Arenais has spent most of his life dedicating himself to the Jedi Order and to the Force, the last five years have been a time of great darkness, where he has made choices that not only shamed his families name, but saw to the death of numerous Jedi, ending his distinguished career as a member of the Jedi Order.
Having temporarily lost his faith in the Jedi, Veiere unintentionally allowed the Dark Side of the Force to cloud his mind, burdened by his failure to keep true to the Jedi Path and his decision to resign from the Jedi Enclave of Deneba, his answer was to turn his frustrations upon the rest of the Galaxy in a bid to secure peace through any means necessary. His first step, to found the Dark Jedi Order and build this very Temple on the isolated world of Rannon in the far south east of the known Galactic Map.
The Dark Jedi were equipped with a fleet of Starfighters and Assault Cruisers, personally financed by "Traitor King of Commenor", Veiere Arenais. Many of these Vessels still in tact and soon to be re-purposed along with the Temple itself.
From their hidden Temple on Rannon, Veiere led the Dark Jedi in their first assault against the Enclave that he had founded on Deneba. By this point, his regret had turned to anger and in his disillusioned mind, ridding Deneba of the Enclave meant wiping the slate clean for himself to start over with the new Order; however, while the assault was successful, many Jedi were slain and the chaos that he had wrought upon people that were once his own, proved to weigh far greater upon his conscience than he could bare.
Deneba, a World under the territory of the Commenor Systems Alliance itself, earned Veiere a large price on his head and calls for him to be brought to justice. Ridden with guilt once again, knowing just how vile an act he had committed, he abandoned the world of Rannon and went into Exile...It wasn't until the Sith Empire attacked Commenor and dismantled everything that his family had built, that Veiere resurfaced and spent the next year leading an uprising against them to free Commenor of their occupation.
As part of his attempt to atone for his past, to try to make amends with himself and the Force, Veiere would finally return during a period of relative peace over his home-world; Seeing what the Temple could be for the Jedi that he failed, he decided that such a facility was better placed in the hands of the Jedi of the Galaxy, those who would hopefully avoid making the same damning mistakes that he had, and continue to serve the light, and the people of the Galaxy, faithfully.
Just a few things we need to tighten it a little bit and we can get this approved:
