Star Temple

The Star Temples were a series of ancient massive pyramid-shaped artefacts constructed by the Kwa that covered the Infinity Gates. The Star Temples and its associated buildings protected the Infinity Gates from intruders. If the gate was ever activated, the planet housing the equipment could be collapsed into the Infinity Gate, along with the surrounding planets, moons and even suns. As the species degenerated for mysterious reasons into the Kwi, the Kwa sealed the Infinity Gate and the Star Temples and set guardians to protect the Temples - whuffa worms with thick hides and an impressive turn of speed.

In 31 BBY, the Nightsisters succeeded in capturing the Prime Gate on Dathomir along with the Star Temple and slaughtered many Kwi. The Nightsisters had intended to access the secrets of the Infinity Gate and use it to destroy Coruscant. However, their plot was thwarted by the Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos, who, using his role as Temple Guardian, redirected the deadly wave aimed at Coruscant back at the Infinity Gate. Only the scattered ruins of the Infinity Gate and the Star Temple were left.
