SETTING INFORMATION
- Structure Name: Jedi Temple
- Classification: A Temple
- Location: Hyu-Ken Carka
- Affiliation: N/A as pirates have yet to discover the temple. However, it is a pirate ruled world.
- Accessibility: Fairly easy access with no defences, however, it is difficult to locate due to the heavy flora on the world and their hyper-activity.
- Security: No security or defences.
- Description: At a glance this temple seems to be a stone build ruin with little to no interest to the few that have seen glimpses of it. However, if one enters the temple they will see that it is in relatively good condition and that the views from the temple are peaceful and beautiful.
POINTS OF INTEREST
The Council Chamber for the Jedi on Hyu-Ken Carka was located at the back of the temple with a view of the forest that extended beyond. Nature was growing around the chamber and encouraged as it gave a pleasant and harmonic feel. Which was what the council wished to gain.
Side exit of the temple has a direct path leading to the Sharkai Falls, a meditation clearing. The path is a dirt track made from repeated footsteps wandering up and down the path. However, over the many years, nature has removed evidence of this path. Luckily the trees still form a rough path, though one could get easily lost.
Once a path and bridge frequently used by the Jedi to access the crystal cave that laid at the end of the path. The path is now a dangerous trek with mudslides and deep falls. The bridge now showing its age with planks missing or rotten. This path is also blocked off at the temple's end, to ensure that no outsiders could locate the crystals. The blocking looks like part of the wall it is combined with, however there is a chance that one could feel the breeze through the cracks or see the glimpses of light that strike through at certain hours of the day.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The temple was first established during the New Republic and New Jedi Order, under Luke Skywalker's command. There were many who sought to seek out the unknown wonders of Wild Space, however, it was a dangerous path and with most Jedi worlds located far from Wild Space, seemed impractical for training. Luckily, Voss was established at first but then later on, so was Hyu-Ken Carka. A world not only suitable for Jedi to train and explore, but also contained a crystal cave. This world was ideal for the Jedi this far out as it meant that they did not have to train all the way to Ilum or Dantoonine.
So the temple grew with a path to the Sharkai Falls that contained a perfect location for meditation and Force training; a path to the crystal cave and once there were non-Force Users settling on the world, there was a path made to their city. Hyu-Ken Carka flourished as did the Ghurkani Temple for a great deal of years. However, during the Gulag Plague, when millions upon billions of people were dying, the Jedi were forced to evacuate from Wild Space. With the Grand Jedi Council wishing to solve the matter in the Core System. While the evacuation was undergoing, several Jedi decided to block off the route to the cave, knowing the importance of crystals and their value to pirates.
Since then, the temple has remained lost to the Jedi with records some reason deleted or forgotten. Thankfully, while the world is currently under pirate rule, the temple has still remained out of sight and undiscovered.
