Instantly recognizable by its distinctive crown of five spires, the Jedi Temple was the home of the Jedi Order on Coruscant. Part school and part monastery, the Jedi Temple is the central hub for all Jedi activities around the galaxy.
The Jedi Order has existed for thousands of generations, serving as guardians of peace and justice. Based on the Republic capital, the Jedi Temple was where the Jedi Order lived, worked and trained.
The Jedi Temple maintained a well-stocked hangar of Jedi starfighters within one of its many spires. A retractable landing pad slid forth from the tower, extending to its length to allow the fighter clearance from the Temple.
Yoda had simple quarters within the Jedi Temple where he would meditate on the Force and dispense advice to those Jedi seeking his counsel. He also trained all the Jedi younglings before they were teamed with Jedi Masters as apprentices.
The Jedi Temple Archives contained possibly the single largest source of information in the galaxy. Within the polished architecture of the Temple, incredible amounts of data were stored electronically and holographically.
The Sith Lord Darth Sidious hired the bounty hunter Cad Bane to infiltrate the Jedi Temple to steal a valuable Jedi holocron.
