Jedi Enclave

"Supposedly a Jedi Master established a training center here some four millennia ago, but I think these were ruins even then."

- Finn Darktrin, 1 ABY



The Jedi Enclave was a secret Jedi training centre located on Dantooine prior to the Jedi Civil War.

History
The Enclave was established by Jedi Master Vodo-Siosk Baas, 40 years prior to the Mandalorian Wars. Exar Kun was among the students trained there, whose fall Revan would later repeat.

During the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War, the building served as a focal point for the local community, housing a landing pad and several shops. Common folk could be found milling around just outside the Enclave walls, where they were safe from Mandalorian raiders and native kath hounds. During this period, Masters Vrook Lamar, Vandar Tokare and Zhar Lestin sat on the Dantooine council, along with Master Dorak, the Chronicler of the Academy, who had begun training Deesra Luur Jada to succeed him.



The Jedi of the Enclave also worked as a local security force, solving kidnappings, murders and family disputes. They did, however, refrain from becoming involved with the Mandalorian raiders, until Revan returned to the academy to retrain in the Jedi ways.

Shortly after Revan left Dantooine in search for the Star Forge, the Enclave and the surrounding area was bombarded by the Sith fleet and attacked by their soldiers. The Enclave was left a wreck, and the concentration of dead Jedi left an 'echo' in the Force. By 3,951 BBY, the ruins of the Enclave had been all but plundered by salvagers, except for the dangerous sublevel swarming with laigreks.

Five years after the Jedi Civil War, after the First Battle of Dantooine, the Enclave was partially rebuilt. The Jedi Exile encouraged the scattered Jedi to gather at the rebuilt academy, but its new life would be cut short as Kreia murdered the Masters.

The Enclave remained over centuries, eventually falling to ruin again, but it is unknown whether it ever became a Jedi residence once again. By the Galactic Civil War, the ruins became a legend for the local Dantooinians, who spread rumors saying that nobody who entered them ever came out. The Imperials used these rumors to their advantage.



Layout
The complex, consisting of two levels, was fully equipped as a Jedi refuge. The ground level housed a Council chamber, sparring rooms and dormitories, while the sublevel consisted mainly of common rooms, as well as a Jedi archive only open to the Masters of the Order. The enclave also contained an activity room for the younger members of the Jedi Order.

By the time of the Jedi Civil War, the Dantooine Jedi Council had moved from a small Council chamber—a smaller copy of the main Council chamber on Coruscant, actually located above the ground level—to a larger round room without windows and with a low ceiling. After the Enclave was rebuilt in 3,951 BBY, this room was turned into a grass-plot under open sky, but was still preferred by the Council.
