- Permissions: Titansteel (I give myself permission to use this sub)
- Links: Ahch-To
- Structure Name: Ahch-To Silver Temple
- Classification: Temple
- Location: Ahch-To
- Affiliation: The Silver Alliance
- Accessibility: The temple is located on top of a hill on an island on Ahch-To so it is clearly visible, it is heavily guarded for this reason, isolated from any cities or populated areas. Sections of the temple are open to the public while others are reserved only for Silver Order members only.
- Description: The Silver Temple is a modernised reconstruction of the existing ruins of a temple that existed on Ahch-To. There are still elements of the stone work and connections to the old Jedi temple while also creating a larger, more modernised temple that expanded beyond the structure that was already there. It rests on top of a hill, with a singular path to the entrance. The temple also has several hangar bays that can be accessed at the rear of the temple. Several anti-aircraft turbolasers are placed around the temple in order to protect it from potential invaders.
- Silver Order Council Chambers: The Silver Order Council Chambers is one of the main rooms built at the top of the main tower of the Ahch-To Temple. This gives the council members a view of the rest of the temple as well as the surrounding areas. The seating for the council is purposefully set as in circular position so that there is no head of the table position and designed to show that each seat holds equal importance. The table in the centre has a holoprojector installed so that people can meet with the council from afar, as well as allowing the council to bring information and images for the whole room to see.
- Training Rooms: The training rooms were specially designed by Lily, she wanted the training rooms to feel safe for those using powers for the first time as well as focus on allowing students and masters to push their skills to the best that they can achieve. She brought training mats from Eshan for the temple, reinforced the training rooms with Titansteel to endure any dangerous Force based outbursts. There are training droids, various weapons on the wall and plenty of space for advanced students to push themselves if they so desire.
- Silver Archives: The Silver Archives is based at the lower levels of the temple, where many records of Jedi history as well as the collection of various other Force cultures that members of the Silver Order have encountered. Many older records and artefacts that are stored within the archives are securely stored away to preserve them with copies or documented records of the artefacts stored available for members of the Silver Order to read and learn about.
- Silver Order Shadows Chambers: The Shadow Chambers are also located at the lower levels of the temple, secured with a singular entrance that is heavily secured. The chambers host numerous computers, databanks and can operate as a collection of information and hub for the Silver Order Shadows. Somewhere to report on their missions and gather information for their next missions. It is also where the Master of Shadows can communicate with the Silver Order Shadows privately. Access to the chambers is restricted to Silver Order Shadows and Jedi Council members and numerous security systems were installed into the databanks so that any attempts to access them without permission will automatically start deleting the files.
- Silver Order War Room: The War Room is where the Silver Order gathers en masse to coordinate and plan missions and battle tactics. There is a central holotable that projects information and battle plans for the whole room to see. It can host the entire Silver Order at once and allow speakers by the table to project their voice clearly and audibly without having to shout. It is a room also used by the Vanguardians to train students in battle tactics, war strategies and how to coordinate in large scale warfare.
- Healing Halls: The Healing Halls are a crucial area of the Ahch-To temple, it is the home for the Silver Order Healers and hosts dedicated bacta tanks, medical supplies and an infirmary. Students learning about Force Healing and medical training come to the Healing Halls and can attend lectures, shadow Healers as they work and advanced students even get the opportunity to help minor injured patients as well.
- Dormitories: Dormitories are the resting places for students and some teachers. The Silver Order designed the dormitories to be spacious, comfortable and while they look very bare, members are encouraged to decorate and adapt their dormitories to reflect themselves. This is to allow people to create rooms that feel homely and express their culture, beliefs and connections that they hold dear. Student dormitories have shared living spaces where there are kitchens, social spots and entertainment available for them. This is all to promote community and bonding with peers.
- Serene Gardens: The Serene Gardens is designed to be the ideal location for members of the Silver Order to relax, take in the beauty of nature and perfect for training in the more peaceful ways of the Silver Order tenets. It is a lush large open area of the temple, open to the skies with grass, wild flowers and several benches placed so that members can sit and take in the natural beauty. The Serene Gardens is located in the middle of the temple, and thought to be the natural peak of the mountain that the temple is built upon.
- Grand Hall: The Great Hall is the area that people will immediately walk into as they enter the temple. It is designed to be large and mostly used as a meeting point or hub room. A place where people can coordinate and venture deeper into the temple. The Grand Hall is also where many events are hosted by the Silver Order allowing guests and outsiders to come and see what life is like for the Jedi.
SECURITY: High
- 6 Anti-aircraft turbolasers - installed around the temple as a preventative measure from invaders or attacks.
- Security scanners - Scanners at all entrances to detect weapons, hacking equipment, spyware and explosives
- Deflector shield generator - A deflector shield generator installed to activate when there is concern of an orbital bombardment.
- Temple guards - Members of the Silver Order who wish to work in a similar role as temple guards that the Jedi have.
- Alarm systems - Alarm systems that activate whenever there is a serious problem across the temple to alert everyone.
- Titansteel - Most of the temple that is not the foundational ancient temple is made from Titansteel, a heavy metal alloy that Lily procured from her aunt’s company. This alloy has high resistance to energy and kinetic damage, making the temple more durable than it otherwise would be.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Lily Decoria selected Ahch-To for the formation of the Silver Order since it was a location that held strong bonds to the Jedi and it was situated between the two major factions that the Silver Alliance were focused on targeting in order to free the galaxy from tyranny. Having stood at the ruins of an ancient temple, Lily declared that location to be where not only the Silver Order would be formed but the Silver Alliance as well. Which meant that they had to work on renovating the ancient temple into something that could be habitable for the Silver Order and become a shiny beacon of what the Silver Alliance stood for. So, Lily began to focus on locating builders and construction workers who could turn the ruins into a functioning temple.
It started with the grand hall, archives, dormitories, the serene garden, the Silver Order council chambers and then the training rooms. Lily researched and gathered resources from the best areas to ensure that the temple was not just a base for the more militant members of the Order to operate from. Lily wanted this to be a home and somewhere that trained and offered opportunity for the future where war was not going to be needed. Lily took ideas from enclaves and temples that she had resided at over the years, training dojos that she spent years at on Eshan and what she felt was crucial for this temple to have.
While the history of the ancient temple’s origins and who the Jedi were when they lived on Ahch-To, Lily worked with the Silver Order to ensure that they kept as much of the foundations of that old temple that they could. While the Silver Order was open to more than just Jedi, the Jedi history for this temple was not forgotten but celebrated.
Once the temple was completed with its construction, the Silver Order were able to find themselves not just a new start as a faction but a place where they could connect and bond together as an order, training, conversing in common areas and coordinating for missions.
