Star Map

Star Maps were artifacts left behind by the ancient Rakatan Infinite Empire.

Built of a self-sustaining technology imbued with the dark side of the Force, the Star Maps were built as (and in) monuments to the glory of the Rakatan empire, and indicated the route to its greatest achievement: the Star Forge. The most complete example was located on Dantooine, where it was housed in a temple built by Rakatan slaves and protected by a set of droids, including one designed for informational purposes.

Revan found evidence of the existence of these Star Maps from an unknown source possibly from the Trayus Academy on Malachor V, he left his fleet in the Unknown Regions and journeyed with his apprentice Malak to locate each map. Originally intended to be stand-alone devices, the Star Maps had lost almost all of their original programmed information by the fall of Infinite Empire, due to intentional sabotage by the Rakata. The Star Maps began to self-repair however, rendering the Rakatan sabotage obsolete. As a result, by the time of the Jedi Civil War, anyone seeking the Star Forge would have to locate as many of the maps as possible to piece together the puzzle. They were at least five known Star Maps, one on each of the worlds of Dantooine, Manaan, Korriban, Kashyyyk, and Tatooine. By the time Revan rediscovered them, they had each repaired themselves enough that their combined data gave the Star Forge's coordinates.

The Star Maps were eventually rendered useless with the destruction of the Star Forge.
