"In the early days of my self-imposed exile, I was always burdened by a terrible vision of the future. Such malign portents spelled doom for the disparate and fractured elements of the Jedi Order, and would likely see the final eradication of our beloved Religion. The darkness that lingered at the fringes of my fever dream took no shape that I was familiar with, which meant that perhaps instead of the Sith, who’d do anything to see our Kind righteously slain, there might be something else lingering in the shadows. Some unknown, and an unforeseeable threat that would do to the Galaxy… what we mortals could not. The danger was out there. In the end, that’s all that mattered, and idle speculation wouldn’t get us anywhere. We have to prepare. We have to continue to survive if there’s a chance for the Galaxy to Hope, and Prosper once again."
Excerpt from the Sunstrider Datacron,
Regarding the Origins of REC Special Project: Prosperity.
When the Core Regions were partially cleansed of the One Sith, in the Aftermath of Operation: Blackout, the Republic Engineering Corporation found itself burdened with a special request from a long-time friend of the Company. The Jedi Master, Arcanus Sunstrider, had found something… peculiar in the partially-terraformed valley's of Tython, and wished to see the structure unearthed from the tortured spires of a mountain range. What he had found was an Ancient Temple that held no definitive, or recognizable points of Origin, which was a discovery that baffled many of the Corporation's contracted personnel. There was further confusion that rippled through the expedition, as their surroundings reacted not only to their presence but to their spoken dialects as well. Systems that were long thought to be dormant or ornamental began powering up. Timeworn lumen-strips bathed the newly revealed labyrinthine maze of corridors and chambers - giving all that were present the notion that there was more to this Ancient Temple than what meets the eye.Regarding the Origins of REC Special Project: Prosperity.
As the Days turned into Weeks, the Entirety of the Structure had been mapped; both internally and externally. The latter proved to be the most arduous task of the two, as the Expedition was forced to partially terraform the mountainscape to ‘free’ the Temple from its earthly embrace. From what they could initially perceive, the structure didn’t seem Tythonian in origin but was revealed to be heavily referenced in nearby dig sites. After having gathered such information from fellow Archaeologists, it was believed that this Ancient Temple - was a Tho Yor; One of the Ancient Temple-Ark’s serving as the First Temples for the nascent Jedi Order. The Jedi Master was astounded to find something so Ancient in serviceable condition. Naturally, the ecstatic man turned to the Coruscanti-based Corporation again and requested to expand the mission profile of their Expedition. With reluctance and a hefty sum of allocated Credits from the Alliance Triumvirate Council - the Temple would find itself slowly restored for over a decade.
Whilst the Second Galactic Alliance found itself beset by dangers on all sides and began to erode under pressure, the Republic Engineering Corporation began to extricate the Ancient Temple from the surface of Tython forcibly. It couldn’t let one of the longest investments, and what would inevitably become the legacy of a beloved comrade, squandered in the face of renewed Sith-Imperial aggression. Thus, utilizing some of the most advanced tractor beams and repulsors available, the Ancient Tho Yor once again returned to the Stars. The Temple-Ark would be skirted away into the depths of space and assigned a maximum clearance level to ensure its protection. As the Alliance fell and the wellspring of Credits began to dwindle, the Corporation started allocating funding and resources away from several internal projects to ensure that the aptly named “Prosperity” would continue until completion. Even after the Jedi Master, Arcanus Sunstrider had perished in a climactic battle with the Sith Emperor himself - Republic Engineering believed it was their duty to see the project through until the end.
Not only would the “Prosperity” become a part of Sunstrider’s Legacy, but it also would serve the needs of the Jedi and those that the Force had chosen in the uncertainty ahead.
The biggest struggle that the Corporation faced during the entire process was adapting the Ancient technology to work in concert with their modernized variants. Some systems were far too corroded even to repair. There was even talk about scrapping the project entirely and hurling the Temple-Ark into the nearest Star. However, through a stroke of sheer luck, Republic Engineering managed to find the parts they needed to replace the damaged systems and even managed to develop a module that bridged the gap between the two differing technologies. Thus, with such an adapter in hand - the Retrofitting and Overhaul proceeded smoothly. So smooth, that the Prosperity found itself completed ahead of schedule. Republic Engineering Corporation made it space-worthy, and capable of comfortably sustaining Organic life. Not only that, but they even managed to upgrade the entire space frame with graciously donated technologies from the Thyrsian Hierarchy and the Free Dac Engineering Corps, making the Temple-Ark into a Toothless Fortress.
Although there were many notable additions to the “Prosperity” interior, the one that stuck out the most was the dedicated Artificial Intelligence that was housed within. Utilizing one of the Corporation’s hyper-advanced prototypes, the Temple-Ark was outfitted with a digital construct that was structured and modelled after the late Jedi Master - Arcanus Sunstrider. His collective works and cloned neural topography were uploaded into the Supercomputer’s positronic matrix - effectively giving the fallen Jedi Master a second lease on life. Naturally, this digital facsimile wasn’t the genuine article, and those who knew of Arcanus would find his personality lacking in several regards. However, that was to be expected, as there were always imperfections - and artificial intelligence had a way of branching out from the original design parameters. Some aspects of the fallen Jedi’s personality were hard-written into the program’s very coding - characteristics that couldn’t be replaced, overridden, or even overwritten.
This meant that even in death, Arcanus Sunstrider would continue to serve the Jedi Order, and seek to better all that came to the Prosperity’s proverbial door.
