Temple district



The Temple Precinct was the area of Coruscant where the Jedi Temple was located. The Processional Way, built on the Precinct roof, lead to the formal entrance into the Temple itself. Larger ships could dock on landing platforms or in one of the towers that line the perimeter. The precinct was a few kilometers north of the Senate District.

History
The Temple Precinct was a piece of land granted to the Jedi after the Great Hyperspace War as a means of rewarding them for the defense of Coruscant. It was there that they built their Jedi Temple.



Before the final structure was complete, the precinct was housed at the Temple. After the final layer was placed on the Temple, the precinct was built around and under the Processional Way. The empty space in the buildings were later used as areas set aside as a sparring area for Jedi Initiates needing training for the Clone Wars.

During the raid on the Jedi Temple, the precinct was destroyed when Star Destroyers launched all their firepower towards the area. Clone troopers had, by then, breached the Jedi Temple and begun slaughtering its occupants.

During the time of the Second Galactic Civil War, the Galactic Alliance had paid to restore the Precinct to its original form, including the same statues and potted plants. To avoid another incident like that of the raid on the Jedi Temple, the Reconstruction Authority designed evacuation corridors and instructions in case of fire or invaders. Accessed through maintenance corridors or disguised wall pieces, heavy metal doors blocked the way to the hatch. Once through the door, one would emerge into a short permacrete hall that led to an identical door. Through this door was a telescoping platform that was suspended in a small space between the exterior wall of the city block. The platform could extend out beyond the Precinct's outer wall into a traffic lane for immediate rescue.
