Reassignment Council Tower/Legends

The Reassignment Council Tower was the northeastern tower surrounding Tranquillity Spire atop the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.

History
The Reassignment Council Chamber was located at the peak of the tower, accessed via a turbolift. The Tower crowned the Reassignment quarter, which overlooked the public entrance to the Temple. Most of the smoke from the attack on the Temple rose from this tower's base.

The four Council towers were added to the Temple Ziggurat circa 1000 BBY, and would stand for years, through crisis and war, serving as a symbol of peace and order to the local Coruscanti.

When the Reassignment Council was founded, its members occupied the chamber at the Tower’s peak and set to maintain the Jedi Service Corps.

At the climax of the Clone Wars, the Council convened for a final time. The night Knightfall was issued, Darth Vader led the 501st Legion into the Temple and slaughter all the Jedi present. The Chamber and Tower would lay in ruin, with its only occupants the stormtroopers that barred entrance to the secret Jedi knowledge.

Layout
The masonry of the spire was supported by a highly-tensile substance known as magnate, which aided in the support of the thin frame of the tower. Also, the permem incorporated into the council chamber’s windows aided in maintaining constant gravity balance, along with keeping the artificial air supply operational at such altitude. The turbolift that led to the Council chambers was crafted by great Jedi architects, who incorporated Force-inspired, internal dynamics, which allowed for the different sizes and shapes of the Order’s members to ascend the narrow spire.

At the base of each Council Tower was a reception and entrance hall leading from the roof of the Temple Ziggurat into the center of the tower. The hall was dotted with six bronzium statues of long dead Jedi, with two doors to either side, leading to curved halls. A large memorial statue was held in the cavernous center shaft of the Tower, held by repulsarpads. A bridge spanned the lofty shaft of the tower, passing through the chest of the statue and into a chamber on the other side.

The elevator to the Council waiting room was located along one of the curving and sloping hallways. The turbolift deposited visitors into the holomap room located directly below the Council chamber, where important locations, relevant to the Reassignment Council, were plotted onto a holographic representation of the galaxy. Around the circumference of this section was a spacious balcony with three separate Contemplation Stations overlooking Galactic City where Jedi preparing to go before the Council were encouraged to meditate.

Crowning each of the Temple spires were reception/transmission antennas which, along with a constant connection to the HoloNet, tapped into the cosmic energy fields of the galaxy itself in order to stay in contact with Jedi on far-flung planets. The central topmast of this unique array of antennas was a powerful multi-frequency eradicator/scrambler that when coupled with the eradicators incorporated into the tower’s frame scrambled all communications in and out of the Temple. Communication bundles in the wall cavities fed data from these masts, through the columns within the Council chambers, to the holomap room. Receiver vanes within the walls of the spire converted signals from hyperspace locations into real-space coordinates before displaying them on the map. From here, the location of a Jedi stationed anywhere in the Galaxy could be pinpointed, and disturbances in the Force or high concentrations of Force energy were displayed on the map.

Each spire was also equipped with a hangar; though they would be completely refurbished just before the Clone Wars began. A landing platform extended from the hangar mouth, with two large bronzium statues flanking the entrance; their lightsabers crossed over the entry, lifting to allow access to the hangar. Located fifteen stories below the council chambers, the hangars were connected with a small garage that serviced the space craft. Also within the Tower were the chambers and offices of Jedi Council members.
