Temple employee



The Jedi Temple of Coruscant was a vast complex that served as the Jedi Order's main hub for training of students and boarding for knights. As such, the Temple was in constant need of maintenance and upkeep.

During Operation: Knightfall, all of the caretakers were killed in the ensuing battle, helpless against blaster bolts fired upon their undefended bodies.

Serveral years after the fall of the Galactic Empire the New Jedi Order employeed citizens to maintain the New Jedi Temple and the Ossus Academy. When both were evacuated during Darth Cadeus reign, the caretakers fled with the Jedi to help maintain secrecy.

Jobs and services
Within the Temple Precinct, offices were held where Jedi were assigned to hire and direct non-Jedi in cleaning and maintaining the Temple's large collection of artifacts. Jedi would hire supervisors to watch and instruct these workers.

All jobs were divided into different groups. Maintenance, technicians, maids, and security, were some of the different factions.

Maintenance workers were occupied with making sure that all doors, turbolifts, and droids were operational. A fleet of maintenance droids were kept within the Temple and were deployed to do basic checks and repairs.

Technicians were employed mainly to focus on the electric, temperature, and lighting aspects of Temple life. There was also a subdivision focused on the upkeep of starfighters and transports with in the Main Temple Garage.

Maids and cleaners were tasked with polishing statues, buffing marble, dusting holobooks, and other tasks to beautify the Temple. A group of droids were also on hand to assist with these tasks.

The Temple Security Force was also a faction of the non-Jedi caretakers who worked closely with the Jedi Brutes and snipers.

Maintenance halls
Maintenance corridors ran along the main halls in order for workers to move about unseen. Undecorated, sparsely lit halls, with storage crates piled against the walls created a dismal and out of place appearance. Laundry chutes led to the automated laundry facilities that were placed throughout the Temple behind the hall's façade. Rumor among the children was it was impossible to descend through a chute, though they never claimed to know exactly how this was prevented. In reality, several density sensors were placed in the chute, if something as dense as a living being passed by, waves from a repulsor pad pushed the subject through a concealed door into a holding chamber. At the end of the chute, the laundry was deposited into bags, which would be unloaded onto a conveyance belt by a nondescript silver-white droid.
