"You must go to the Chamber of Banishment in which she is imprisoned and defeat her. To enter that chamber, according to this scroll, you will need the Nightsister Key of Exile."
Rohak, to a spacer[2]

The Chamber of Banishment was a cavernous chamber located in the deepest part of the Rancor Cave near the Nightsister Stronghold operated by the Nightsister clan of Dathomir Witches, on the planet Dathomir.

History[]

"The energy surging through the headdress is a signal to her followers. It means that Axkva Min has discovered a way to free herself from her banishment, and she is contacting her followers so that they will assist in her escape. Axkva Min is a dangerous being that will threaten the entire planet...possibly even the entire galaxy. We must help stop her."
―Rohak, to a spacer[2]

Sometime during the Imperial Period, the Nightsister Axkva Min was imprisoned in the chamber by fellow Nightsisters due to her apt to drain the life from her pupils in order to increase her own power.[2][3] There, Min and her most loyal followers were trapped inside large crystals. The cave was guarded by Nightsisters and required the Key of Exile to be opened.[1]

In 1 ABY,[4] Axkva Min discovered a way to free herself from her banishment and contacted her followers to assist her escape. The situation was soon discovered by Rohak, the Aurilia town elder, and a group of spacers. The spacers therefore explored Dathomir to gather four shards that they fused together to form the Key of Exile.[2] The group of spacers later enter the Chamber of Banishment where they defeated Min's followers: Nandina and Gorvo, Lelli Hi, Kimaru and Suin Chalo. They eventually killed Axkva Min herself during an epic fight.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

The Chamber of Banishment first appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[5] The Chamber of Banishment was the site of the "Axkva Min" Heroic Encounter that was introduced to the game in the "Chapter 7" update, released on November 1, 2007.[6]

  4. According to its opening crawl, Star Wars Galaxies was set sometime after Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The only precise time indication in the game was given by the character Ruwan Tokai, who referenced the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin as occurring one year earlier, placing the game sometime around 1 ABY. Later, multiple elements confirmed the placement of the game storyline in 1 ABY. First, The Essential Reader's Companion established that the tie-in novel Star Wars Galaxies: The Ruins of Dantooine took place in 1 ABY. Furthermore, the game expansion Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees was set during the Blockade of Kashyyyk, one year after the Battle of Yavin according to The Star Wars Holiday Special. Additionally, the main scenario of The Nightsister's Revenge from the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game was set over a year before the Battle of Hoth (3 ABY), so around 1.5 ABY. Finally, the reference book Strongholds of Resistance placed the events of Star Wars Galaxies's Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" one year after the Battle of Yavin. Of note, Galaxies's Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" introduced the Battle of Hoth in the game. However, the developers were quite clear that this was only intended to be a completely isolated "Star Wars Moment" without any effect on continuity for the rest of the game.
