Plasma Refinery Complex



The Theed Generator Complex was the main power generator for Theed, the capital of Naboo. The facility was used for producing energy from the plasma discovered beneath the streets of Theed. The complex consisted of high catwalks across vertical plasma beams blasting up from reactor cores countless meters below. The complex was accessible from the adjacent Theed Hangar and during the Invasion of Naboo was captured by the Trade Federation and the catwalks patrolled by the Federation's battle droids.

During the Battle of Naboo, the two Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi encountered the Sith Lord Darth Maul, who was under orders by Darth Sidious to eliminate the two Jedi. The three warriors engaged in a deadly lightsaber duel, in which Maul wielded a double-bladed weapon. The duel brought the two Jedi and the Sith from the Theed main hangar into the generator complex. As they battled across the catwalks, Maul kicked Obi-Wan off, sending the Jedi Padawan falling several levels and separating him from the duel. Qui-Gon was then left alone, and continued to battle the Sith Lord until they arrived at the entry containg several laser walls, which imprisoned them for a brief time. After they deactivated, Qui-Gon continued his duel with Maul, but Obi-Wan was unable to pass the final laser wall before it kicked in. Qui-Gon and Maul then battled across the rim of a seemingly endless reactor pit, which due to its lack of space, prevented Qui-Gon from using his Ataru form of lightsaber combat to it fullest extent. Eventually, Maul slammed his lightsaber's long handle into Qui-Gon's chin to stun the Jedi Master, and he quickly stabbed Qui-Gon in the stomach, killing him. Obi-Wan was then released from his laser wall and attacked the Sith Lord in a haze of grief and succeeded in slicing Maul's lightsaber handle in half. However, Maul managed to Force Push Obi-Wan into the reactor pit, where the Jedi Padawan was forced to grab a small pole to prevent himself from falling down. The Sith Lord then kicked Obi-Wan's lightsaber into the pit and began cutting at the floor, creating sparks, possibly as a way to cause his oponent to let go and fall. However, Obi-Wan managed to Force Jump back to the floor and call Qui-Gon's lightsaber to his hand. With Maul caught completely off guard, Obi-Wan sliced at the Sith Lord's torso, and Maul tumbled into the pit as his body split into two. Years later the site was the same arena of another deadly lightsaber duel, this time between inquisitor Malorum and ex Jedi Ferus Olin, The light side again triumphed as Olin gained the upper hand and sent the Dark Jedi tumbling into the same pit in which Darth Maul lost his life.
