Grand Audience Chamber
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Grand Audience Chamber was part of the topmost level of the Massassi Temple on the jungle moon of Yavin 4. Its walls were dark green blocks of stone.
During the Galactic Civil War in 0 BBY, it was used as a ceremonial hall by the Rebel Alliance garrison.
When Master Luke Skywalker established the Jedi Praxeum in 11 ABY, the Grand Audience Chamber was used as a teaching space for the Jedi cadets. The New Jedi Order would place rows of polished wooden benches and a small platform was positioned in front of the chamber for the speaker. Upon this, when Master Skywalker was in a coma because of Kyp Durron, who was under the influence of Exar Kun, he was put on a stone platform on the stage of the chamber. He looked as if dead, which caused his students to feel grief and dismay. But with their help and the spirit of Master Vodo Siosk-Baas, they were able to defeat Kun's wicked spirit with the Force. And Luke had awakened with his spirit back in his body.
During Second Imperium/Shadow Academy assault on the Jedi Praxeum, Imperial Commander Orvak set up his detonators in the chamber but he was bitten by a crystal snake. Orvak woke up just in time to see what it was that caused his unconsciousness, and just before the detonators he set in the Grand Audience Chamber exploded. The explosion killed Orvak and destroyed much of the Chamber though it would be rebuilt.
During the Yuuzhan Vong War, the Conclave on Yavin 4 was held here. Later, during the Yuuzhan Vong/Peace Brigade conquest of Yavin 4, the Great Temple along with the Grand Audience Chamber was flatted by a Damutek.
