The Great Temple was a mausoleum as well as a place of reverence located in Korriban's Valley of the Dark Lords, where the remains of many of the most honored Dark Lords of the Sith were interred. The bodies of these deceased Sith Lords remained untouched by time, preserved by their own power in the dark side of the Force. Tuk'ata hounds prowled the interior of the temple, and served as guardians against tomb-raiders and grave-robbers.

In 3,996 BBY, Jedi Knight Exar Kun was guided to Korriban and into the Great Temple by the spirit of Freedon Nadd. After several tests, Nadd tricked Kun into finally embracing the Force's dark side.

A tomb was prepared for Darth Vader in the temple, but he never occupied it, as he died embracing his Jedi heritage. In 11 ABY, the resurrected Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious visited the Great Temple seeking counsel from the spirits of his Sith predecessors. They offered the reigning Dark Lord Vader's tomb, but Sidious denied it.
