Strange Machine???[]
What is the strange machine in the picture near the end of the article, I think it first appeared in the Dark Empire comics in a vision of old Ossus, I've always wondered what it is, it sort of looks like a primitive telescope, or maybe a cloud buster except there's one big tube, instead of a cluster of little ones, anyways I have no freaking clue what it is and I was just wondering if anyone knew? 99.246.171.239 23:19, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
ROTS spoilers?[]
Is this an Ep III spoiler????..... Just wondering cause if it is, we should cap it. --Kosure 13:32, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
I've read the script for Ep III and there seems to be no mention of Ossus so this isn't a spoiler --Mantus 13:43, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
Ossus is a deserted planet during the era of ROTS. It is the center of the Jedi Order (much like Coruscant during the prequels) during the Old, OLD Republic. It is featured again during Dark Empire. i.e. there are not ROTS spoilers to be found here.--Eion 18:57, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
Affiliation[]
Maybke we should put it as affiliated as belonging to the Jedi? Rhysode 03:54, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)
First Appearance[]
Freedon Nadd Uprising 1 was in Aug 94, Dark Empire II 1 in Dec 1994, so wasn't FNU 1 the first appearance?
From Tython to Ossus in the Pre-Republic?[]
According to a map at Dark Horse comics, Tython is located in the Deep Core. Ossus is in the Outer Rim. Now let me see if I've got this straight:
- (1) The Force Wars take place c. 25,100 BBY to c. 25,000 BBY.
- (2) At the end of the Force Wars c. 25,000 BBY, the Jedi Knights leave Tython (in the Deep Core) and go to Ossus (in the Outer Rim).
- (3) The newly formed Galactic Republic in the Core c. 25,000 BBY, (which apparently is unaware of the Jedi on Tython much closer by and vice-versa), discovers the Perlemian Trade Route with new hyperdrive technology, and then first discovers the Jedi in the Outer Rim.
- This seems a bit...well... odd to me. For example, did the Jedi on Tython invent hyperdrive and discover the Perlemian Trade Route independently of the Republic at about the same time? Jason Bessey - Jaywin (talk) 20:33, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Orbit[]
As an orbit shaped as an eight, how can be the third planet in the Adega system if it has to go trough the center between the two stars? Does it mean that Ossus have to cross two inner planet's orbits? that is very risky because they probably should crash. Unless the two inner orbits would have a very different angles. But anyway I can´t imagine Ossus being the third planet in the system because it would be the closest planet to the stars most of the time.--Zeist Antilles (discusión) 23:35, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- Likely it's that Ossus is the third planet most of the time, sort of like Pluto and Neptune; we used to say Pluto was the ninth planet, even though it was inside Neptune's orbit some of the time. Ossus would cross the orbits of the others (unless it was really weird and lying outside the ecliptic), but space is big and there's a lot of room for orbits to cross without the planets getting near each other. However, unless its orbit was in resonance with Kassa and Tarassi, gravitational pull between them would make it unstable over a long period of time. It is odd (and even the canon acknowledges that), but however it works, it apparently does. - Lord Hydronium 00:16, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
New Jedi Library[]
TEGTTF states on page 3 that all Jedi-related data was stored in the new Jedi library of Ossus. It is decapitalized in the text, that's why I think it isn't a separete building, just a part of the Jedi Akademy of Ossus. It should be noted in this article that Luke and Tionne collected scrolls from the Great Library and other sources to the new library. I don't know whether there are other sources about the new library.Darth Morrt 14:24, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
- Never mind. I found that the new jedi library is actually the Jedi Archive (Ossus).Darth Morrt 18:12, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
