| − | The '''Docking Complex''' of the [[Jedi Temple]] was a series of landing platforms, hangars, and garages located within the [[Jedi Order]]'s home on [[Coruscant]]. Situated on several different levels in and around the Temple the docking complex was used by both the [[Jedi Knight]]s of the Order and civilian visitors, including [[Galactic Senator]]s, members of the press, and other friends of the Order.<ref name="CWG:S" /> |

| − | ==History== |
||
| − | |||
| − | In use as of [[980 BBY]], [[Princess]] [[Serra (Princess)|Serra]] of [[Doan]] landed her ship on the landing pad at the base of the [[Tower of First Knowledge]]. Waiting on the pad were Jedi [[Ma'ya]], [[Pendo]], and [[Winnoa]], who escorted the princess inside the Tower and to the [[Obba's quarters|chambers]] of [[Jedi Master]] [[Obba]].<ref name="DB:DOE" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | In [[44 BBY]] Master [[Qui-Gon Jinn]] and his apprentice, [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]], docked in the complex having been recalled following an [[Incident at the Jedi Temple|assassination attempt]] on [[Grand Master]] [[Yoda]]. Due to increase security, the duo had to perform a retinal scan before entering the Temple proper.<ref name="TCT">''[[Jedi Apprentice: The Captive Temple]]''</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | When Jinn and Kenobi returned to the Temple after Master Jinn had a [[Farsight|vision]] regarding fellow Jedi Tahl, they docked before heading to the Temple's entrance where a security checkpoint was set up. They were stopped by Knight [[Cal-I-Vaun]] who stood to check all visitors into the Temple. Jinn queried Jedi Vaun about the location of Jedi Tahl; though he was unable to locate her he had no records of her departure. Jinn deduced that she had to be in the [[High Council Chamber]]s and thus could not answer her [[comlink]].<ref name="TTTB">''[[Jedi Apprentice: The Ties That Bind]]''</ref> |

||
| − | |||
| − | As the Order moved to arm itself during the growing [[Separatist Crisis]], the Council called for the refurbishment of the four [[Jedi Temple Tower Hangars|Council Tower hangars]]. Freshly equipped with more space and technology, the hangars would hold a large portion of the Order's starship fleet.<ref name="SWCL">''[[Star Wars: Complete Locations]]''</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Following the [[Battle of Kothlis]] during the [[Clone Wars]], Knight Kenobi was brought to the Temple by [[Senator]] [[Bail Organa]] after the Senator picked him up from the [[Grand Army of the Republic docks and barracks complex]]. Due to Organa's relations with the Order he was afforded a security pass whcih allowed him to bypass public parking sectors and dock in restricted hangars.<ref name="CWG:S" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Reporting to the Temple following the [[Second Battle of Coruscant (Clone Wars)|Battle of Coruscant]] to consult Grand Master Yoda, Jedi [[Anakin Skywalker]] went to the restricted pad at the base of the [[High Council Tower]] after the meeting in search of Obi-Wan Kenobi. On the pad he found the [[Supreme Chancellor]]'s shuttle flanked by [[Red Guard]]s waiting to take him to the [[Republic Executive Building]] for a private meeting with the Chancellor.<ref name="ROTSN">''[[Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (novel)]]''</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | In [[19 BBY]] [[Supreme Chancellor]] [[Palpatine]] was discovered to be the [[Sith Lord]] the Order had been hunting since the [[death]] of Qui-Gon Jinn on [[Naboo]] at the hands of a [[Zabrak]] [[Darth Maul|Sith]]. Hoping to arrest the Dark Lord a group made up of members of the [[Jedi High Council]] headed to [[Duel in the Chancellor's Office|capture]] Darth Sidious, leaving the Temple under the command of [[Gatemaster]] [[Jurokk]] and Master [[Shaak Ti]]. Sealing the Docking Complex, all nav beacons and signal lights in the hangars were switched off to disguise the entrances. When all four masters were slain by Sidious and his apprentice, [[Anakin Skywalker|Darth Vader]] the Temple prepared for an onslaught having felt a great disturbance in the Force. Issuing orders to the [[Grand Army of the Republic]] to carry out [[Operation: Knightfall]], the Temple was besieged and raided.<ref name="ROTS" /> With the Jedi dead or in hiding, the Temple fell into ruin, its Docking Complex in shambles. Palpatine declared himself [[Emperor]] and stationed [[stormtrooper]]s at all of the Temple's entrances that were not sealed or cordoned off. Shortly following the raid, Grand Master Yoda and Master Kenobi infiltrated a lower level docking bay used in the delivery of food to gain access to the enormous complex. [[Decoy Squad Five]] attempted to stop the fugitives, but all members of the squad were slain.<ref name="ROTSN" /> The docking complex would stand largely unused for most of the [[Galactic Civil War]], with an [[Jedi Headquarters|enclave]] built on the Ziggurat's roof following a [[New Republic]] victory on the former [[Imperial]] throneworld.<ref>''[[Star Wars: Union]]''</ref> |

| − | |||
| − | The Temple was not to be re-inhabited for long, however. When the planet fell to the [[Yuuzhan Vong War]], the Temple was ruined beyond repair. The docking complex was completely destroyed. The Temple was not gone forever, though. In [[35 ABY]], after the [[Yuuzhan Vong]] were driven from Coruscant by the [[New Jedi Order]] and the [[Galactic Federation of Free Alliances|Galactic Alliance]], [[Chief of State]] [[Cal Omas]] ordered that a [[new Jedi Temple]] be erected in a show of thanks for the Order's help during the war. Using schematics salvaged from the lost [[Jedi Archives]], the [[Reconstruction Authority]] built the Temple almost exactly as it had been during the time of the Old Republic. The Order replaced the outdated starfighters of the past with the new, designed-for-Jedi [[StealthX]] starfighters.<ref name="LOTFE" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | In [[40 ABY]] former-[[Captain]] [[Jagged Fel]] visited the Temple to request that Grand Master [[Luke Skywalker]] give his blessings on Fel's hunt for the [[Dark Jedi]] [[Alema Rar]]. Accommodating Fel, Skywalker allowed for the establishment of the [[Office of the Alema Rar Task Force]] in the Temple and allowed for the small organization to use a vehicle hangar in the pursuit of bringing Rar to justice. The vehicle pool contained nine [[T-65 X-wing starfighter|X-wings]] and one [[E-wing]].<ref name="LOTFE" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Following the Order's withdrawal from the Galactic Alliance and the formation of the [[Jedi Coalition]] at the [[Battle of Kuat (Second Galactic Civil War)|Battle of Kuat]] during the [[Second Galactic Civil War]], Chief of State [[Darth Cadeus|Jacen Solo]] ordered the Temple [[Invasion of the New Jedi Temple|invaded]] by the [[Galactic Alliance Guard]]. In response, all of the Temple's hangars were abandoned as the ships were used to transport the Jedi to the secret [[Jedi Outpost|outpost]] on the [[Sanctuary Moon]] of [[Endor]].<ref name="LOTFF">''[[Fury (novel)|Fury]]''</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Following the reoccupation of the Temple a few months later the hangars were fully operational and stocked. In [[43 ABY]] several Jedi Knights who had stayed at [[Shelter]] Base during the Yuuzhan Vong War were stricken with an [[Force psychosis|enigmatic madness]], forcing the Order to detain them and hide them from the [[Coruscant Security Force]] members who wished to arrest them. Members of the organization [[Darkmeld]] smuggled Jedi [[Seff Hellin]] into the Temple via the Masters' Hangar to prevent detection.<ref name="FOTJOT" /> While returning to the Temple from [[Fellowship Plaza]], Knights [[Yaqeel Saav'etu]] and [[Bazel Warv]] went mad and headed for the southern speeder entrance in the [[Temple Court]]. Jedi [[Jaina Solo]] happened to be at the hangar entrance, as she was riding in Head of State of the [[Imperial Remnant]] Jagged Fel's limo, leading to the capture of the two ill Knights with the assistance of her parents, [[Han Solo|Han]] and [[Leia Organa Solo|Leia Solo]]. Because the hangar entrance was hidden behind a stand of [[Rutolu bush]]es, the members of the press that stood on the [[Jedi Temple Main Entrance|Temple steps]] did not witness the ordeal. Once inside the docking complex below the Temple Court, the Jedi were able to get the affected Knights into the hands of [[Jedi healer|Chief Healer]] [[Cilghal]].<ref name="FOTJA">''[[Abyss (novel)|Abyss]]'' </ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Later Jedi Leia Solo decided that the political climate on Coruscant was getting to be to much for the ill Knights and proposed to transfer them to the secret [[Jedi Academy (Shedu Maad)|facility]] in the [[Transitory Mists]]. With the assistance of Knights [[Avinoam Arelis]] and [[Jaden Korr]], Solo moved Saav'etu, Warv, Hellin, and [[Natua Wan]] onto [[FloatVan]]s that had been stored in the low level hangars several levels below the Court. While the ill Jedi were being loaded, [[Mandalorian]]s hired by Chief of State [[Natasi Daala]] opened fire on the hangar. While causing some mayhem, all the Mandalorians were killed and the FloatVans got off planet safely.<ref name="FOTJA" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Shortly after mad Jedi [[Sothais Saar]] was captured by the Order, Jedi Jaina Solo was in the docking complex when a larger band of Mandalorians [[Raid on the Jedi Temple (Galactic Alliance)|attacked]] the main entrance, civilian hangars, and lower level food delivery hangar. With the assistance of Knights [[Tyria Sarkin Tainer]], [[Raynar Thul]], and Padawan [[Bandy Geffer]], Solo was able to repel the invaders; though the docking level sustained extensive damage.<ref name="FOTJB">''[[Backlash]]'' </ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | In [[137 ABY]], following the occupation of the Temple by the [[One Sith]] and its conversion into the [[Temple of the Sith]], some of the hangars used by the Jedi were still in use. However, during a [[Skirmish on the Temple of the Sith|skirmish]] between [[Darth Krayt]]'s legions of Sith and [[Cade Skywalker]]'s accomplices, a bomb set by [[Nyna Calixte|Morrigan Corde]] detonated in the main hangar, crippling the fighters stored there before they could evacuate.<ref name="LEG17" /> |

||
| − | |||
| − | The Docking Complex of the Jedi Temple was extensive and included several hangars and garages located in different parts of the [[Temple Precinct]] and the Temple Proper. Rebuilt and expanded over the centuries the complex entrances all guarded by [[ray shield]]s and were alarmed. Most were monitored constantly by a guard who stood at an established checkpoint station.<ref name="TCT" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | The main body of the complex was located below the Temple Court, as it was added after the Temple Ziggurat was erected. Accessible from the Court as well as the outer walls of the Precinct, different levels were designated for different uses.<ref name="FOTJB" /> The lowest docking bays were reserved for the delivery [[hovertruck]]s which brought in all materials that could not be manufactured or grown at the Temple. Food delivery hangars were equipped with [[turbolift]]s that transported all food into the [[Jedi Temple Storage Level]]; while other materials might be taken directly into the Temple proper via designated chutes.<ref name="LJU">''[[The Last of the Jedi: Underworld]]''</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Within the vehicle hangars of the Temple were stored personal starfighters, as well as vehicle pools that could be signed out by any Jedi. Next to the civilian hangar, the New Jedi Order stored its [[StealthX]]s in a small hangar.<ref name="FOTJB" /> Before her death Master Mara Jade Skywalker kept her personal SteathX, [[5-A]], here.<ref> ''[[Sacrifice (novel)|Sacrifice]]''</ref> A larger stadium-sized chamber was equipped with shuttles and larger ships.<ref name="FOTJB" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Above the delivery hangars was the civilian area where visiting diplomats and the public could park. Beyond these sectors were restricted hangars used by the Jedi and priority visitors who had gained clearance.<ref name="CWG:S" /> Accessible from the side of the block that the Temple sat on, there were also entrances from the Court. A southern speeder entrance was erected in the shadow of the [[Tower of Reconciliation]] and was used only by members of the Order who used the motor pool located in the garage below. A security gate was operated by controls located in the hangar beyond, with turbolift access to the Temple proper also available.<ref name="FOTJA" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | As the Temple grew it became necessary to expand the Temple Precinct. Great [[Jedi Temple mooring tower|Mooring towers]] were built in the surrounding areas to accommodate the greater influx of traffic to and from the Temple; the towers were overseen by a Chief Mechanic, who at the time of the Clone Wars was [[Boz Addle]].<ref> ''[[Yoda: Dark Rendezvous]]''</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Atop the Temple Ziggurat was located a series of landing platforms and garage entrances. Large enough to accommodate [[Consular-class cruiser|''Consular''-class cruiser]]s, these pads were used when large parties of Jedi departed on missions. A press area was allotted for those media outlets that covered the movements of the Order.<ref name="AOW">''[[Jedi Council: Acts of War]]''</ref> Amongst these broad open areas was the landing pad reserved for the [[Grand Master]] of the Order. Located outside the [[High Council Tower]], this pad was small and private, allowing the leader of the Order expedient access to the [[High Council Chamber]].<ref name="CWG:S" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Also near the roof of the Temple were the extensive garages which repaired the Order's spacecraft. Equipped with retractable hatches in the roof, each garage maintained a maintenance crew capable of keeping the Order's war machines fully functioning and operational. Also on the Top level of the Ziggurat were speeders and other land vehicles used for travel around Coruscant.<ref name="SWCL" /> |
