Jedi Order Facilities

  • Academy of Jedi Archaeology Offices: The offices given over to the Academy of Jedi Archaeology aboard the Chu'unthor.
  • Academy Security Offices: Offices given over to the Praxeum Security forces of the Chu'unthor.
  • AgriCorps Offices: Offices given over to the Agricultural Jedi Service Corps.
  • Acquisition Division Offices: Offices given over to the Acquisition Division of the Order, responsible for testing and recruiting the young Force-sensitives of the galaxy's myriad cultures.
  • Council of First Knowledge Offices: Offices given over to the Council of First Knowledge.
  • Council of Masters Offices: Offices given over to the Masters' Council of the Chu'unthor.
  • Council of Reconciliation Offices: Offices given over to the Council of Reconciliation, including offices for Republic Diplomatic Corps personnel.
  • Council of Reassignment Offices: Offices given over to the Council of Reassignment, and the central office to whom the Jedi Service Corps report.
  • EduCorps Offices: Offices given over to the Educational Jedi Service Corps.
  • ExplorCorps Offices: Offices given over to the Exploration Jedi Service Corps.
  • Jedi Guest Quarters: A bank of quarters reserved for Jedi visiting but not assigned long-term to the Chu'unthor.
  • Nursery: The creche where younglings too young to join one of the Youngling Clans are reared.
  • Sanctum: Facilities for those Jedi seeking ascetic introspection and silence away from other sentients.
  • Spire of Solitude: A series of "meditational chambers" that Jedi in need of sequestering may dwell in, either voluntarily or otherwise. The cells themselves are sound proofed and can be set to lock from either side by Praxeum Security. This is the destination for those Jedi who believe themselves or whom the Masters Council believe to have fallen or be in danger of falling to the Dark Side.

Jedi Training Facilities

  • Central Gymnasium, Port Gymnasium, Starboard Gymnasium: Three massive circular gymnasia, with ample state-of-the-art facilities, and space for competitive sporting events such as smashball.
  • Class Clusters: Clusters of academics-focused classes, providing space for learning from non-Jedi outside of the Training Domes. These are most often reserved by visiting lecturers, on-board researchers, and Service Corps personnel recruited to teach some important syllabus to younglings and padawans aboard the Chu'unthor.
  • Engineering Workshops & Labs: A series of state-of-the-art workshops manned by Force-sensitive engineers from the Service Corps, as well as those Jedi with technical gifts and inclinations. In addition to the large communal facilities here, Jedi with strong technical aptitudes may be assigned personalized workshops in this facility as well. These facilities grant Boost-die.png Boost-die.png to the various Computers, Mechanics, or Survival tests used in crafting. They are also designed to be soothing to the senses, granting a Boost-die.png for Meditation rolls while in them (primarily designed to facilitate Jedi Moving Meditation).
  • Library Archives: Facility: Boost-die.png Boost-die.png Boost-die.png • Research Interval: 12 hours. The massive library archives of the Chu'unthor are among the finest in the galaxy, second only to such esteemed archives as the Republic Senate Archives and the Library of the Temple on Coruscant itself.
  • Lightsaber Crafting: This set of workshops is open to Jedi only. Within are found some of the finest facilities for the creation of the Jedi iconic weapon, the lightsaber. By and large, there are no "worker" engineers to be found here - each Jedi is expected to work on and learn the maintenance of their own lightsaber. There are several masters happy to impart additional wisdom in this regard, as well as droids who manage the resources of the facility, granting raw materials and attachments to Jedi based on their ranking in the Order. These facilities grant Boost-die.png Boost-die.png Boost-die.png to all Mechanics checks thanks to its bank of tools, resources, and diagrams. It also grants Boost-die.png Boost-die.png to Jedi Meditation tests (primarily in order to facilitate crystal attunement and Moving Meditation).
  • Lightsaber Salle: A dedicated dueling space outside of the Training Domes, the Salle is used primarily by knights and masters of the Order seeking to share techniques with one another, sharpen their individual skills, and spar with one another.
  • Masters' Training Halls: A series of halls dedicated to the edification of masters alone, these halls are set aside to allow masters a peaceful place to work on their individual skills - or share such skills with one another - outside of interruptions from or the prying eyes of junior members of the Order.
  • Teaching Gardens: Several of the peaceful parks of this deck are designated as "teaching gardens," spaces where masters and padawans, or small groups of younglings might be brought for some lesson or another. They are usually more practical spaces than the highly rarified and finely landscaped of the other parks, although they also frequently feature strange fauna of interest to young Jedi learning about the botanical wonders of the galaxy.

Cultural Installations

  • Art Gallery: A gallery for the display of art forms, with a focus on the creations of those aboard the ships. They also frequently display the art of the cultures of the planet the Chu'unthor is in orbit around, or those of nearby systems, and occasionally host guest installations from noteworthy or worthwhile artists further afield.
  • Art Studios Cluster: A building that supplies the various spaces and materials artists use in the creation of their works. The space provides Boost-die.png Boost-die.png for the creation of such works, and the area's tranquil nature provides Boost-die.png Boost-die.png to Jedi Meditation checks, most often used for Moving Meditation in the creation of artistic works.
  • TransCultural Conservatory: A grand conservatory where the musics of the many cultures of the galaxy are studied and practiced. The space is finely resonant acoustically and provides very fine equipment, indeed, granting Boost-die.png Boost-die.png to the performance of music, and its serene environs provide a Boost-die.png to Jedi Meditation checks.
  • Great Theater: A massive theater complex with seating for thousands, the Great Theater of the Chu'unthor is a stopping off point for many of the galaxy's renowned troupes and performance companies. It features concerts, plays, opera, and all manner of other entertainments, on every point of the scale of artistic performances.
  • Museum: The museum of the Chu'unthor is constantly changing, hosting installations from museums around the galaxy, and the experts who can speak on the subjects of those installations.
  • Symposium Hall: This hall is set aside for the use of various rounds of symposia. Each cycle of the Chu'unthor has a formidable selection of symposia and workshops offered on nearly every topic that might be of interest to the Jedi and guests aboard the great praxeum ships. It is considered a great honor to receive an invitation to present a symposium by academics across the galaxy, and an even greater one to be invited for a full cycle's worth of curriculum.
  • Temple Hall: The Temple Hall is intended for the use of those who adhere to religions of varying sorts across the expressions of faith throughout the galaxy. It features small halls whose interiors can be altered aesthetically to provide a more authentic experience for the faithful. Those who work within Temple Hall are often some of the most knowledgeable of the various manifestations of religion across the galaxy.

University Office Clusters

  • Corellia University Offices: A university attaché aboard the Chu'unthor. It has researchers and engineers from the University's School of Starship Engineering primarily, though some of the other engineering schools of the university are represented.
  • Lorrd Univerity Offices: A university attaché aboard the Chu'unthor. It has researchers from all three of the Lorrd Univeristy schools: the Lorrd Academy for Aquatic Studies, the School of Conceptual Design and the University of Pangalactic Cultural Studies.
  • Researcher Offices: These offices are provided to allow the Chu'unthor to invite esteemed scholars and scientists from institutions that do not have offices aboard the praxeum ship. They are the living quarters for a bewildering variety of such folk, from all over the galaxy.
  • University of Sanbra Offices: A university attaché aboard the Chu'unthor. It has researchers from the Univeristy's sentientology and xenobiology schools represented.

Ships Operations

  • Dining: The dining hall most often serves those whose offices are in the Forward Section of the ship, providing a space to get a meal and a break from work, in the company of one's co-workers and peers. It is open to anyone aboard the ship, although many others (including the researchers and archivists) have their own dining spaces.
  • Droid Bay: The deck has a number of droid bays - simple shops where droids recharge and where technicians can perform needed maintenance on them.
  • Meeting Halls Cluster: Scattered around the deck are several clusters that feature multiple meeting spaces within them. They primarily consist of rooms of varying sizes (from small two-to-four person chambers to larger near-auditorium sized spaces), set up with holoprojectors, furnishings, protocol droids for translation, and all the various tools required for meetings between different departments, or between the Order and visitors to the praxeum ship.
  • Scholars Dining: A large dining facility intentionally abutting the Library Archive, this dining space is open to the ship's archivists in the Archive, to the staff of the various guesting Universities and other similar staff aboard the ship. It is also explicitly open to those who are in the midst of performing exhausting research, allowing them a meal nearby where they can quickly get back to their work.
  • Ships Armory: This is the armory of the Praxeum Security force, with its various uniforms, suits of armor, equipment belts, and lightsabers.
  • Stores: Various sites around the Instruction Deck are set up to hold the materials and supplies used by the various facilities aboard the Chu'unthor. Those Stores that abut the outer hull of the ship actually feature small airlocks and umbilical equipment, allowing vessels with specific supplies to dock just outside the Stores location and transfer goods to it directly.
  • Thaenir's Cantina: Thaenir's Cantina is the only cantina in the Instruction Deck, and is open to everyone of adult age (there is a distinct "No Padawans Allowed!" sign posted at its entrance). This is no dive bar, though, with ample space, a dance floor with state of the art sound-and-lights sysems, and a small fleet of Go-Corp/Utilitech WA-7 Service Units taking drink and food orders. Thaenir's employs excellent chefs, and is the favored place for many of the Instruction Deck's folk to while away an evening with friends. Unlike any other site aboard ship, Thaenir's does charge money, although Jedi are given a modest allotment based on their rank by Thaenir that allows them to enjoy the occasional drink and meal. Most of those in the cantina are aware of the limitations to the Jedi, and so it is something of a tradition that any known Jedi is likely to have his meal and drinks paid for by someone else in the cantina.
