- Hangar Space:
- On Peace, there is enough hanger space for any number of personal starships necessary. With most quarters having their own personal hanger space, any given Jedi on the station has direct access to their own fighters up to 100 meters. However, there are a few special quarters with attached landing locations capable to handle up to 500 meter ships, but more are found by the day - considering the absolute size of the monolithic station.
For larger, military level star destroyers - there are docking stations in the outer rings. These rings can support hundreds of these vessels before finding itself closer to capacity; meaning that should the location ever become open to more provisional goverments, it would have all the logistical docking ports to handle a large navy. Lastly, Peace does hold three locations where larger vessels, the likes of which are in excess of 10km, are capable of docking without issue.

- There Is Only Peace... -
- While most space stations focus on the military aspect, or even trade - Peace is completely incapable of any such endeavor. It holds one purpose, and that is to house force users; and more recently, the Jedi. The entirety of the planet is a massive holocron with a gatekeeper assistant that helps anyone on board - and keeps the facility running, despite the odd way it is built and handled. Any attempts to understand this Gatekeeper are met with evasive answers - but exploration of the facility has resulted in plentiful grabs at the ancient technology.
- Aing-Tii Transitions -
- While their are not many inbuilt defenses, and the facility itself is mostly just difficult to destroy - there is an ability that few consider for such a large planet. With a central meditation chamber, mutiple Jedi Masters taught in the way of the Aing-Tii are capable of collectively moving the entire facility; keeping the location and people of Peace safe from transgression whenever necessary.
- Pacficism Is The Way -
- There are no armaments on the facility, and that means it is almost completely incapable of defending itself. Without a stationed fleet, there is nothing stopping a larger, more centralized opposition from taking the outer rings - and concurrently the inner planets. While difficult to hold down, the facility itself can be easily taken - should one have the means of getting rid of the Jedi infestation.
- Enigmatic Engineering -
- Since the facility was not designed by anyone alive, or even a species that remains - repairing the facility in the case of damage, is night impossible, and it is equally as difficult to refit and add modern 'weapons' or armament capable of defending it more personally. While it was once refurbished to fit the needs of the Jedi Order, it is far too enigmatic for upgrades of the techno-logic variety.
-- Overview --
Peace.
Mysterious, ancient, and excessively large - all accurate descriptors of the once central hub of the Jedi Order. Now, after years of being mothballed it has once again been brought back to life - letting the once dormant heart of the facility churn like clockwork to appease its new inhabitants. Endless caverns trailing into the earth towards its core, the artificial moon that is Peace is both mysterious, and awe inspiring all at once.
-- Initial Design --
Nobody is truly sure when the facility was made, though it has shown up in Republic records dated at 24,000 BBY; and even then was considered ancient. Thought to have been built by an ancient race known as the Zeffo, there are innumerable mentions of Zeffo Sages of every degree throughout the interior of the artificial planet sphere. With endless tunnels leading to entire complexes yet to be explored - the psuedo-planet is a terrifying marvel to behold.
Thought to be unfinished, the surface of the station looks more akin to a planet; though is obviously synthetic in nature. A white ‘grass’ grows along its surface, often referred to as a Ghost Grass for its innate force signature and properties; while the air density varies depending on the location and day - as the internal atmosphere of the planet seems to change on a whim. The sky has no reflection, and the endless expanse of space is always visible - and the various nebula that protect the station from would be harm.
Covering the surfaces of the planet not overcome with the ghost grass, are large and complex alien structures that drive endlessly into the core. While nobody has been able to find the center due to the seemingly shifting maze of its inner guts, the planet is capable of housing a relatively massive population; and can even sustain its own life, should it be required.
Past all of the building however, the station is surrounded by a set of ‘boundary rings’ - giant circles that help to encapsulate the planet and its atmosphere from harm, while allowing a larger docking point for Star Destroyers and Dreadnaughts. Directly connected to various ‘towers’ that lead to the surface, the gargantuan station has left many galactic historians baffled by its pure scale and purpose.
-- Renovations --
Following its rediscovering by Jedi Pilots, the station was first studied by various Republic archeologists for its historical significance - though that was soon abandoned at the realization that it was a force sensitive location. When it was handed over the Jedi Order - and they discovered it essentially massive holocron; they decided to settle the planet as a secondary temple to the one situated on Coruscant and other planets.
Becoming and enigmatic and central hub of the outlying Jedi enclaves, it was often travelled to by those looking a reprieve from the all too bustling cities and temples of other more commonly utilized areas. The only reason it didn’t get any larger than it did, however, was due to its extremely difficult placement in the nebula - forcing anyone who wished to find it to use an existing Jedi to show them the way.
After it was refurbished, much of the known facility had been turned into a massive Jedi Training facility capable of holding in the thousands - if not more. Using the internal holocron like mechanisms to store vast amounts of knowledge, it became a vital piece of technology for the Jedi during their reign as advisors to the Supreme Chancellor; though that didn’t last.
When Darth Sidious took control of the Galactic Republic, the facility and its location was lost to history - likely in part due to Sidious’s obsession with destroying jedi historical documentation, and the Jedi’s own unwillingness to lose the strategic facility to the Dark Lord. For over eight hundred years, the facility never saw the face of another individual - until it was rediscovered in 856 ABY.
-- Summary --
While once a Zeffo super structure, it has since been turned into a Jedi Hub; used by the various orders to coordinate with one another, and serve as the home of the new Jedi Council and its subsidiaries. With all Jedi having a residence on the station, it has become one of the most popular locations for Padawans, Knights, and Masters alike.
