LiMerge Building

"Welcome home, Lord Tyranus."

- Darth Sidious

The LiMerge Power building was Darth Sidious's secret hideout on Coruscant. The building was located in The Works industrial district, in close proximity to the Senate District and the crash-site of the Invisible Hand.

Design
"Abandoned, perhaps, but not forgotten."

- Dyne to Mace Windu

This building, constructed some three centuries prior to its use by Sidious, was designed as a weapons manufacturing facility. Additionally, it was believed to have served as the corporate headquarters for the factories that surrounded it. The top two-thirds of the building appeared to be little more than an unadorned pillar with a rounded summit, and the superstructure of the lower portion was supported by massive fins reinforcing a circular base. Several docking bays were located on the level where these fins met the structure itself. Permaglass windows and skylights dotted the exterior of the building.

History


Darth Sidious was known to have used the LiMerge building as his Sith headquarters during the training of Darth Maul, and perhaps even before that time. Following Maul's death, Count Dooku became Sidious's new apprentice, and used the LiMerge building as his base of Sith operations. Following his escape from Geonosis, Dooku returned to his Master in their hideout on Coruscant to report the onset of the Clone Wars. He also brought Sidious the plans for the Geonosian Ultimate Weapon.

With Dooku leading the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the war, he was known to bring some of his acolytes to the LiMerge building, though none realized its connection to Sidious. Following the assassination of Senator Viento, Quinlan Vos met with Dooku here along with Tol Skorr and Khaleen Hentz.

It was a mention of this location by the reformed Vos that clued Tholme in to the true nature of the building, which in turn led to an investigation of the structure, carried out by Commander Valiant, Captain Dyne, and Jedi Master Mace Windu. Their search for Darth Sidious led through the building and into the downlevel tunnels, which they realized connected not only to areas of the Senate District, but also to the lower levels of 500 Republica. Getting to know this, the Jedi became certain that Darth Sidious was in fact a member of Palpatine's inner circle.
