The Chamber of Antiquities was a series of rooms and vaults deep below the main building of the Great Jedi Library on Ossus. It was here that Jedi Master Odan-Urr catalogued and studied ancient artifacts, translated and digitized writings, and kept the most treasured and dangerous items in the entire library.[1]

Overview[]

Part of the sublevels of the Great Library complex on Ossus, the Chamber of Antiquities referred to the labyrinth of vaults and rooms that made up the second sublevel. Accessed by two lifts from the first sublevel, the level was off-limits to most visitors, as it contained the most dangerous items within the collection. Among the treasures held within the vaults were a cube-shaped holocron, the earliest known documents relating to the Jedi Order, and other sacred tomes. Several heritage tapestries detailing a pictorial history of the two Great Schisms were kept on the walls, along with hard copies of ancient star-charts. When the Cron Supernova rendered Ossus inhospitable soon after, the Chamber and the rest of the Great Library's sublevels became tomblike, preserving the ancient tomes for millennia. By the Imperial Era, a Draethos skeleton still remained sprawled at the feet of his great chair in his office, while two stone guardians stood as silent sentinels to protect the chamber from intruders.[1]
