Telos IV Telos IV , often called simply Telos , was the fourth world within the Telos system , located in the Outer Rim ' s Kwymar sector . Situated on the strategically important Hydian Way hyperlane , on the edge of Galactic Republic - controlled space , the Telosian military and economic power bases were considered vital to the survival of the Republic . In addition , the planet played host to the Agricultural Corps , where Jedi who had failed their training were sent to work as farmers and laborers . During one of the earliest battles of the Jedi Civil War , Telos was devastated by forces of the Sith Empire . Under orders from Darth Malak , former Republic admiral Saul Karath demanded the planet ' s surrender ; upon being rebuffed , he carried out his orders to bombard the surface . Soon after , the Jedi Order , fearful of an attack on the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine and the possible loss of many valuable relics , chose Telos as the site for a secret Jedi academy and repository . This academy was eventually taken over by the Echani Handmaiden s and Jedi Master Atris , from where she hoped to rebuild the shattered Order . In the year 3955 BBY , at the behest of Republic Supreme Chancellor Tol Cressa , Telos was chosen as the first planet to undergo a Republic - sponsored restoration effort . This initiative , if successful , would pave the way for the restoration of other planets that had been ravaged during the recent Mandalorian Wars and the conflict wrought by Darths Revan and Malak . The Telosian Restoration Project called for the construction of Citadel Station , an immense space station that orbited the planet , to implement the restoration process . Overseen by the Telosian Council , the Ithorian herd of Chodo Habat was chosen to manage the project . Telos and Citadel Station played a crucial part in the Jedi Exile ' s mission to end the First Jedi Purge , when the station was attacked by Sith forces under Darth Nihilus . In the wake of the battle , the Sith Triumvirate was defeated ; this resulted in the eventual stabilization of the Republic . Due in part to the Exile ' s efforts , the Restoration Project was ultimately successful , and Telos once again became a lush planet , with many Sacred Places and national parks that drew tourists from throughout the galaxy . In the final century of the Republic , Telos was a politically significant world , noted for its natural beauty and thriving tourist trade , in addition to the numerous business interests that eagerly established contracts and treaties with the Telosian government . In 53 BBY , the Governor of Telos , a wealthy citizen by the name of Crion , secretly sought to annex a neighboring planet for its valuable minerals and factories . Recruiting his son , the former Jedi Xanatos , as a co - conspirator , a grievous civil war was started by the duo after the Telosian populace was alerted to the scheme , and as a result Crion was slain . Nine years later , Xanatos — having convinced the Telosians of his and his father ' s innocence — sought to industrialize the natural resources of Telos in a bid for personal power . His plan was foiled , and rather than face judgment for his crimes , Xanatos took his own life . During the early Imperial Period , Telos , along with other planets within Kwymar sector , rebelled against the Galactic Empire . During the Kwymar Suppressions that followed , Telos was once again attacked , ending with an Imperial victory . Description . The planet Telos IV was located between the planets of Toprawa and Ruuria in the Outer Rim of the galaxy and , as of 3963 BBY , formed one end of the Morellian Trail , a hyperlane that would later form part of the Hydian Way . The capital of Telos was Thani , the city in which the Telosian government , consisting of the Telosian Council and Governor of Telos , was located . However , during the restoration of Telos ' s devastated ecosystem in the aftermath of the Jedi Civil War , Citadel Station , in orbit above Telos , was the temporary residence of citizens and the center of government . The Telosian Restoration Project , begun in 3955 BBY , was carefully overseen by the Ithorians and was designed to return the planet to its former beauty and glory . The barren surface with its highly corrosive atmosphere was divided by a series of complex shield networks into Restoration Zone s in which the Ithorians first stabilized the atmosphere and weather patterns , and later introduced various species of flora and fauna . The restoration of Telos prompted the Telosians to take pride in their planet and set aside much of the land as Sacred Places and national parks . By the year 44 BBY , the tourist traffic to see the natural wonders of Telos accounted for a significant portion of the economy . Terrain . The orbital bombardment of Telos did little to change the fundamental topography of the planet . The first wave of Restoration Zones was designed in such a way so as to incorporate much of the original terrain , while excluding the many ruins and deserted military bases . The features of these restored landscapes included stone crags dotted with forest glades , fields of blue and lavender flowers , stretches of beaches , deep lakes nestled in grassy hills , steam pools surrounded by golden sand , deep valleys with canyons and gorges , natural caverns , cultivated land , a northern polar region with icy plateaus , and snow - capped mountains . Flora and fauna . Following the stabilization of the atmosphere within the Restoration Zones , many varieties of flora and fauna from ecologically rich planets such as Ithor , Onderon , and the jungle moon of Dxun were introduced . Apart from cultivating simple grasses and wildflowers , the Ithorians planted the short , thorny blba tree s and the exotic bachani flowering plant . Many types of herbivores were imported , supplemented by the omnivorous cannok s from Dxun to maintain their population . At one point during the First Jedi Purge , the carefully controlled zones were wrested from the Ithorians and given to the Czerka Corporation . Czerka had little interest in regulating the natural balance , resulting in the cannoks decimating the herbivore populations and eventually developing a desire to consume anything available . History . Jedi Civil War . Telos IV was discovered by the Galactic Republic after the events of the Great Hyperspace War , which saw the Republic pitted against Naga Sadow ' s Sith Empire for control of the galaxy . Prior to the Jedi Civil War , Telos IV was a prosperous planet . It served as an important military base for the Galactic Republic and the Jedi during the Mandalorian Wars , as well as housing the Republic Agricultural Corps : the Jedi organization responsible for the production of copious amounts of foodstuffs , most of which went to feeding the Republic Military forces stationed on the planet . During this time , it was one the few planets under the direct control of the Republic and planetary security was managed by the Telos Security Force . After the treachery of former Jedi Knights Revan and Malak , who left the Jedi to become Sith Lords , was revealed in 3959 BBY , the former Republic Admiral Saul Karath , as a token of his loyalty , provided the Sith with the Republic Navy ' s docking bay codes , which enabled Sith bombers to bypass security scanners and destroy over half of the Republic fleet docked on the planet . As a reward , the new Dark Lord of the Sith , Darth Revan , promoted Karath to Supreme Commander of the Sith starfleet . As a final test of Karath ' s loyalty , Darth Malak , without his master Revan ' s approval , ordered the Admiral to bombard Telos ' s surface in 3958 BBY . During and after the main bombardment , some refugees were able to escape the conflagration via the few in - system shuttles available for evacuation . These shuttles floated in space for weeks before they were picked up by Republic capital ships sent in response to the planetary holocaust . Many of these survivors ended up drifting from system to system , barely keeping ahead of the invading Sith fleet . Several of these survivors were transported to Nar Shaddaa , where they were forced to settle in the Refugee Sector , and soon found it all but impossible to leave due to oppression from the criminal organization known as the Exchange . Telos once possessed an enormous planet - wide polar irrigation system , one that was similar to Coruscant ' s own . However , during the Jedi Civil War the system was almost completely obliterated , apart from the primary northern facility in the polar ice cap , by the Sith bombardment . The Jedi Order , apprehensive of an attack on the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine , chose the abandoned northern facility as a site for a secret Jedi academy . Restoration . After the end of the Jedi Civil War , Supreme Chancellor Tol Cressa proposed a Republic - funded initiative to rejuvenate worlds rendered inhospitable by both the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War . Telos , having once been an important Republic location , was chosen as a prototype for the project . The achievements of the restoration effort on Telos would determine if the project was successful enough to be expanded to other worlds . For the purpose of implementing and monitoring the restoration progress , Citadel Station was constructed to orbit Telos ; the immense structure would serve as a residence for the individuals associated with the project , control center , and headquarters of the Telosian Council , who would remain the governing body . The Ithorians , being well known across the galaxy as ecologists and agricultural engineers , were asked by the Telosian government to spearhead the planetary restoration program ; in particular , the Council requested those belonging to the herdship of one Chodo Habat , a Force Adept who served as the spiritual and secular leader to his herd . In orbit around Telos , the immense space station , powered by fuel shipped from the Peragus Mining Facility , served as the base of operations for the process of sectioning the surface into individual biospheres ; the planetary shields formed an impregnable barrier that enabled weather stabilization processes to remove the acidic properties of the planet ' s devastated atmosphere . Under the management of the Ithorians , biological specimens were then introduced into the new zones from Onderon and Ithor , with many of the creatures being imported from Dxun , the jungle moon of Onderon , due to their extraordinary hardiness and ability to survive . Within a couple of years , the Restoration Zones had stabilized enough to permit technicians to inhabit and monitor the restoration " in situ " . At the outset , matters proceeded smoothly for the project . The extensive legislative funding from the Republic Senate allowed Citadel Station to expand quickly , thus enabling impressive progress in reseeding and reviving a small portion of the planetary surface . Around the year 3951 BBY , however , the project began to be beset with troubles . The Republic ' s diplomatic relations with Onderon had deteriorated , which served to massively increase the already - gigantic purchase and transportation costs of the Onderonian biological specimens . Additionally , the growth of Citadel Station proceeded at a pace that that left the small Telos Security Force patrols ill - equipped to police the whole station . Moreover , the lapse in security gave an intergalactic criminal organization , the Exchange , under the guise of the Bumani Exchange Corporation , the opportunity to expand its operations on Citadel Station . The Czerka Corporation , having previously integrated themselves into the Telosian political system and economy by way of legal loopholes and political favors , offered low bid - estimates for resupply and security contracts . Delighted , the Telosian Council accepted , which resulted in two - thirds of Citadel Station being policed and manipulated by Czerka mercenaries . The pressure put upon Citadel Station by the Exchange and Czerka wreaked havoc with the Telos Restoration Project . Czerka Corporation managed to seize control over the Telos Restoration Zones ; consequently , the zones began deteriorating within a matter of weeks . Citing the deteriorating conditions as an example of Ithorian incompetence , the company began pressuring the Telosian Council to rescind the Ithorians ' planet - rejuvenation contracts altogether , further claiming that the management practices of the Ithorians would bankrupt the project . It was hypothesized by many on the Ithorian side that Czerka , one of the largest weapons manufacturers in the entire galaxy , sought these ecological - control contracts simply out of desire for unrestricted access to Telos ' s forbidden zones . During this period , not even the Ithorians were given permission by the Telosian authorities to land their ships outside of specially designated sites . The Ithorians , a passive , agrarian - minded people , felt themselves to be utterly unprepared to oppose a corporation with such extensive resources . Furthermore , many of the beleaguered Telosians were of the opinion that Czerka ' s mercenaries were rapidly getting out of control , and that Republic troops should have been called in to restore order . In the years following the end of the Jedi Civil War , members of the Jedi Order had been hunted to the point of a near - total annihilation in what was termed the First Jedi Purge . The sudden appearance of Meetra Surik , an exiled former Jedi — in addition to pilot Atton Rand and enigmatic elder Jedi Kreia — at the Peragus Mining Facility , and pursued by Sith assassin s , had the effect of severely compromising the stability of the restoration project . During the trio ' s escape from the assassins aboard Surik ' s starship , the " Ebon Hawk " , they were fired upon by a " Hammerhead " - class cruiser , the " Harbinger " , that the assassins had earlier appropriated . The subsequent turbolaser fire hit a combustible asteroid in the Peragus asteroid field , which resulted in the complete destruction of the facility that was the sole source of fuel for Citadel Station and the Restoration Zones . Eventually , the course of Surik ' s mission led her to Citadel Station itself . In a bid to save the restoration project , the Ithorians sought the help of Surik soon after her arrival . Likewise , Surik had piqued the interest of the Czerka Corporation , who requested her assistance in gaining control of the remaining Restoration Zones . Concluding that the revival of the planet depended on the Ithorians , Surik decided to help them . In a series of endeavors , Surik and her newly acquired companions succeeded in gathering a sufficient amount of evidence to have Czerka ' s influence with the Telosian Council negated . Moreover , their efforts interrupted operations controlled by the Exchange . In due course , Surik and her group traveled to Restoration Zone RZ - 0031 in search of the " Ebon Hawk " , which had been stolen from her on Citadel Station . Once there , she encountered the Zabrak Bao - Dur , a former comrade who was one of the planetary shield ' s designers . Frustrated by the Telosian Council ' s ineffectiveness , he was attempting to halt Czerka ' s operations single - handedly . The search for the ship led Surik ' s group to an old military base , and subsequently to the planet ' s north pole . At the abandoned irrigation facility , the group discovered that a surviving Jedi Master , Atris , had taken up residence in the hidden Jedi Academy , where many records and Jedi artifacts had been relocated prior to the demise of the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine . Furthermore , Atris had developed a plan to rebuild the Jedi Order . Upon discovering that Atris had also stolen the " Ebon Hawk " , Surik collected the ship and she and her companions left Telos to continue their mission . Although the culpability of Surik in the destruction of the Peragus Mining Facility was negligible , she felt a measure of responsibility . Before having left Citadel Station , Surik informed Dol Grenn , the head of the TSF , that she intended to find Telos an alternate source of fuel . During her travels , Surik made a trip to the bustling moon Nar Shaddaa . While she was there , she learned that a steady supply of fuel from Sleheyron was available ; however , the owner of the transport freighters , Vogga the Hutt , had a problem with G0 - T0 , the local Exchange crime lord , hijacking his shipments . Ultimately , Surik and her companions resolved the problem , and a new source of fuel was secured for Citadel Station , thus ensuring the continuation of the Telos Restoration Project . The restoration and stability of Telos were once again threatened by the Sith when Citadel Station fell under attack by the forces commanded by Darth Nihilus , one of the leaders of the Sith Triumvirate . In her travels , Surik had found many allies in the united Mandalorian clans as well as the Khoonda Militia of Dantooine and the Onderon Military . Those allies , with the addition of Surik and her companions , cooperated with the Telos Security Force in mobilizing the defense of the space station . Republic Admiral Carth Onasi , himself a native of Telos IV , arrived on the scene with a naval assault fleet . Aboard his flagship , the " Sojourn " , Onasi was determined not to lose Telos again . In a bold move , Surik took the fight directly aboard the " Ravager " , Nihilus ' s flagship . She and her companions successfully defeated Nihilus and destroyed his flagship . At the conclusion of the battle , Carth requested an audience with Surik , where he thanked her for her assistance in saving Telos and wished her a safe journey as she left to complete her mission . Last century of the Republic . After the apparent success of the Telos Restoration Project , former residents and new immigrants inhabited the planet , entering a period of peace . Proud of the pristine natural beauty to be found on their world , the populace set aside large tracts of land to be established as national parks and Sacred Places . Over time , the fame of the picturesque landscape spread throughout the galaxy and Telos became a popular tourist destination , significantly increasing the wealth of the planet . Additionally , Telos became noted for its interest in culture and the arts , as well as groundbreaking technological advances , such as the ability to opaque transparisteel , developed by leading scientists and brilliant innovators . Business interests from across the galaxy eagerly established contracts and treaties with the Telosian government . The prosperity of Telos lasted for millennia , until grave problems beset the planet in the last century of the Republic . In the year 94 BBY , a great famine swept across the planet , the effects of which were still felt by citizens fifty years later ; it was not uncommon for the elder population to collect stores of food in preparation for another famine . As devastating as the scarcity of food was for the populace , the year 53 BBY brought a grievous civil war started by the then – Governor of Telos . Governor Crion , the wealthiest citizen of Telos , had proposed a reevaluation of a treaty that Telos had established with a neighboring planet ; the terms of the treaty automatically extended the alliance every ten years . In the interest of both parties , the Jedi Order was asked to monitor the negotiations . The Order chose to send the Jedi Xanatos , a native Telosian and the son of Crion , and his master Qui - Gon Jinn . Crion , overjoyed at the return of his son , had come to regret his decision of sending Xanatos to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant . He revealed to Xanatos that the negotiations were a cover for his true intent : the annexing of the neighboring planet for its valuable minerals and factories . Crion then asked his son to join him in his endeavor , to which Xanatos agreed , having been dazzled by his father ' s wealth and power . Jinn , having learned of Crion ' s plan , revealed the scheme to the citizens of Telos . Outraged by the actions of Crion , the populace of Telos rose up against him , but he would not give ground . He and Xanatos hired an army and began to slaughter the people . In the end , Jinn was forced to take Crion ' s life , for which Xanatos never forgave him . Consequently , Xanatos turned to the dark side and left the Jedi Order . After a failed attempt to destroy the Jedi Temple on Coruscant in 44 BBY , Xanatos once again emerged on Telos after having successfully convinced the citizens that he and his father had been innocent of instigating the Telosian Civil War . Moreover , Xanatos was lauded as Telos ' s number one citizen for his philanthropic contributions , such as the Xanatos Institute for Healing in the capitol city of Thani . Qui - Gon Jinn and his new Padawan Obi - Wan Kenobi , traveling to Telos to confront Xanatos , were dumbfounded by the turn of events . Jinn and Kenobi were further perplexed by the attitude of the populace . The once - peaceful citizens had become obsessed with a violent spectator game called Katharsis . Ostensibly , the game was sponsored by the government as a way to earn the necessary funding for the maintenance of Telos ' s Sacred Places , including the Park of Sacred Pools and the Mirror Caverns . During their investigation of Xanatos ' s activities , the two Jedi met Andra , the leader and sole member of POWER , a political organization opposed to the exploitation of Telos ' s National parks , and her comrade Den , a small - time criminal . With the help of the two Telosians , Jinn and Kenobi uncovered that Katharsis was controlled by UniFy , a front for the Offworld Mining Corporation , owned by Xanatos . What was more , the quartet gathered evidence that Telos ' s Sacred Places had in fact been violated by extensive Offworld mining operations . Jinn and Kenobi exposed Xanatos to the citizens of Telos and , rather than face justice for his crimes , Xanatos chose to commit suicide . With his death , the citizens removed corrupt government officials and reclaimed their national treasures . However , the damage had already been done , and the conservation efforts following the defeat of OffWorld did not last long . Special - interest groups representing industrial companies began to settle on Telos , and in a matter of a few years had effectively become the ruling body of Telos . The factories built by the industries polluted the once - pristine world to such an extent that all of the national parks and Sacred Places were damaged beyond repair . In the year 39 BBY , a group of Telosians , appalled by their ruined homeworld , left the planet aboard the experimental ship " BioCruiser " . These individuals , including Andra and Den , traveled around the galaxy and slowly expanded their group by accepting anyone who wanted to leave their own devastated planet . During the Clone Wars , Telos was located within Separatist - controlled space . Imperial era . In the early years of the Imperial Period , Telos , along with its Kwymar sector neighbors , Doniphon , Kestos Minor , Picutorion , and Protazk , sided with Rebels . In accordance with Imperial policy , the Galactic Empire responded with a series of brutal assaults on the sector known as the Kwymar Suppressions , including a devastating attack on Telos . The battle ended with an Imperial victory . During the battle to subjugate Doniphon , stormtrooper Sergeant Major Beilert Valance was severely injured by the blast from a Rebel serial torpedo . Thinking him mortally wounded , the retreating Imperials left Valance at the Anglebay Station , a neutral medical station located in an isolated area of Telos . In a desperate bid to save his life , the medical personnel replaced half of his body with cybernetic parts , effectively ending his career in the Imperial Military by turning him into a cyborg . Valance , who had a deep - seated hatred of and revulsion towards " robots , " hid his affliction and became Valance the Hunter , the leader of a group of ruthless bounty hunters . In the year 0 ABY , a few weeks after the Battle of Yavin , Valance decided to destroy Anglebay Station at his own cost ; he was determined to erase his past . Ordering his crew to leave no survivors , Valance went to the computer records section , where he eliminated all of the medical records . During their search of the in - patient bay s , Valance ' s crew found a delirious old man by the name of Don - Wan Kihotay . In the grip of delirium , Don - Wan began speaking of Han Solo , lightsabers , and a boy with a droid companion . Recognizing that this was the group responsible for the destruction of the Death Star , Valance and his men obliterated Anglebay Station and made their way to Aduba - 3 , where it was discovered that Don - Wan had in fact been speaking of Jimm Doshun , not Luke Skywalker . New Jedi Order . In the year 40 ABY , shortly after the rediscovery of the Jedi archival device known as the Great Holocron , members of the New Jedi Order discovered the aptly named Telos Holocron on Telos . Determining that the holocron was a Sith artifact , the Jedi transported it to the Ossus Academy for further study . Having no record of the holocron and deeming it dangerous , nearly half of the Masters ' Council members insisted that it be destroyed . Realizing that the Telos Holocron could have held valuable information that would help the Jedi in their fight against the Sith , Grand Master Luke Skywalker gave Jedi historian Tionne Solusar the opportunity to examine the holocron . It was revealed that many of the greatest Sith Lords had been Gatekeeper s of the holocron , with Darth Sidious the most recent . It was unknown as to when Sidious had obtained the holocron and how it came to be on Telos . Inhabitants . The populace of Telos before the Jedi Civil War was primarily composed of Humans and a small percentage of diverse species from across the galaxy , with the predominant occupation of the citizens being the production of foodstuffs . This had been especially true of the Jedi Agricultural Corps , who sent those Jedi who had failed their training to Telos to become farmers and laborers . The orbital bombardment and subsequent construction of Citadel Station effected a shift in the makeup of the residents . The primary goal of the Citadel Station was the restoration of Telos , and this was reflected in the residents . There was a great assortment of beings whose occupations were just as varied ; some of the most visible residents included the Ithorian herd members , Czerka employees , Exchange mercenaries , Republic representatives , and many refugees of both the Mandalorian and Jedi Civil Wars , who used Telos as an intermediate point to other worlds accepting refugees . The restoration of Telos brought about yet another shift in the composition of the citizens , gaining a reputation in the progression of technological advances developed by a profusion of scientists and innovators . Moreover , there was a number of special interest companies , such as Offworld Corporation , whose business arrangements with worlds throughout the galaxy brought great wealth to Telos . In addition , the Telosians , both government and private citizens , made it a priority to create a large number of national parks , with an emphasis on conservation of all other tracts of land . The natural beauty of these parklands gained galaxy - wide fame and a great number of tourists traveled to Telos , creating a need for conservationists and individuals to coordinate the eco - tourism . Notable citizens . Carth Onasi . Telos was the home planet of Carth Onasi , the Republic Navy hero . On duty at the time of the Sith bombardment , Onasi arrived too late to save his wife , Morgana , the task forces sent to assist with search and rescue operations being overwhelmed . His son Dustil had gone missing in the confusion , and after a couple of years of following reports concerning Telos , Onasi presumed him dead . It was not until later , during his travels with the amnesiac Revan , that Onasi would learn that Dustil had survived the attack . His heart was broken , however , upon learning that his son had joined the Sith . With the help of Revan , Onasi was able to convince Dustil to leave the Sith . Father and son then made plans to meet on Telos . Adding further insult to Onasi ' s anguish was the fact that the perpetrator of the attack , Saul Karath , was an ex - Republic hero and former mentor to Onasi . He vowed to revenge the loss of his family and the destruction of Telos ; he had the opportunity to fulfill this vow during the Jedi Civil War aboard Karath ' s flagship , the " Leviathan " . Xanatos . In the final decades of the Republic , another native Telosian , Xanatos , gained galaxy - wide notoriety . At a young age , he had been taken to train at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant , where he quickly became skilled in the Force and later was chosen by Qui - Gon Jinn to be his Padawan . As a final test for his Knighthood , Xanatos journeyed with Jinn to his homeworld on a mission and became embroiled in a Civil War started by his corrupt father , Crion . After the death of Crion at the hands of Jinn , Xanatos turned to the dark side , consequently leaving the Jedi Order . Several years later , in a bid for revenge , Xanatos attempted to destroy the Jedi Temple . His plan was foiled , but he was able to escape . A few months later , Xanatos once again emerged on Telos as the owner of Offworld , a mining company with interests across the galaxy . In this time , he had convinced the Telosians of his innocence in the Civil War and was proclaimed Telos ' s premier citizen for his philanthropic projects in Thani , the capital of Telos . In a series of appalling events he was proven to be a dangerous criminal by his former master Jinn and his new Padawan , Obi - Wan Kenobi . Rather than face justice for his crimes , Xanatos elected to commit suicide . Locations . Thani . The capital of Telos was Thani , a large , bustling city that had been reduced to rubble , as was much of the planet ' s surface during the Jedi Civil War , and was eventually rebuilt after the success of the Telos Restoration Project . Millennia after the restoration of Telos , during the waning years of the Republic , the rebuilt Thani was described as having buildings hundreds of meters high whose facades gleamed silver and bronze in the sunlight , with small structures crowded in between the massive buildings . The city ' s wide boulevards were crowded with landspeeders , and an abundance of parks was found throughout . The galaxy - wide fame of Telos ' s natural wonders created a large influx of tourists to Thani , necessitating a large terminal with many landing bays to accommodate the spaceliners . Furthermore , the residents of the capital had the Xanatos Institute for Healing and a grand library at their disposal . For a period of time , the high - stakes gambling game Katharsis was extremely popular with the citizens of Telos , with the largest Katharsis dome located in Thani . Citadel Station . Telos ' s Citadel Station was the space station that served as the staging area for the Galactic Republic ' s Ithorian - led effort to restore that world after the Jedi Civil War . At its height , this titanic complex covered nearly one quarter of the skies above Telos . The station consisted of a series of large , self - contained modules , such as Residential Module 082 , Entertainment Module 081 , and hangar bays such as Dock Module 126 , that were interconnected by a base of girders and other support structures . The station served as home to the many technicians and beings of other professions who were employed in the Restoration Project , as well as the effort ' s conduit for needed supplies . The station played host to a wide variety of individuals and was a hub of activity . During the years after the Jedi Civil War , the station was flooded with refugees , dispossessed people who had lost everything not only to Revan and Malak ' s Sith Empire , but the invading Mandalorians before them . The Telosian Security Force provided security for the station ; however , by the time of the First Jedi Purge , they were not strong enough to keep order throughout the complex . It was from here that the Ithorians and Czerka Corporation competed to oversee the Restoration Project , as well as where the Telosian Council was based . The Exchange also had a base here , fronted by the Bumani Exchange Corporation ; in addition , many cantinas and merchants had set up shop there , selling merchandise both legal and illegal . Swoop racing was also popular there . RZ - 0031 . At the request of the Telosian government , the management of the Restoration Zones had been given to the Ithorians . Restoration Zone RZ - 0031 encompassed a diverse cross - section of Telos ' s terrain : beaches , canyons , gorges , hills , and grassland . Near the entrance to an abandoned Republic military base , the Ithorians had built an encampment of warehouses , processing plants , and a shuttle landing pad . Nevertheless , during the time of the First Jedi Purge , RZ - 0031 became the center of controversy when control of the zone was taken away from the Ithorians and given to Czerka . Many of the Ithorian herd believed that Czerka ' s only interest in RZ - 0031 was the recovery of raw materials in the military base . Although the base was technically deactivated , there were a number of military droids and gas traps protecting the structure , in addition to energy shields blocking many of the passages . Furthermore , the base housed a small transport shuttle and a central reactor that was necessary to power the control room and hangar doors . Telosian polar irrigation system and Jedi Academy . The northern polar region of Telos was the location for the central hub of the planet ' s world wide irrigation system . The destruction of the planet ' s surface during the Jedi Civil War devastated the irrigation system , although the central hub was largely untouched ; nonetheless , the system was abandoned . The Jedi Order , fearing an attack on the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine and the loss of much of their knowledge , chose the polar irrigation facility as a site for a secret Jedi Academy and repository for historically valuable items . The Order reasoned that the Sith would have little reason to return to an already ravaged planet . The Academy had been built to be self - contained and the structure incorporated residential quarters , training room , storage areas , a private meditation chamber , and a hangar large enough to accommodate freighter - sized starships . In addition , the Academy included a central Jedi Council chamber arranged in a similar style to the Council chambers found in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant . Throughout the Jedi Civil War , many relics and Jedi holocrons were transported to the Academy until the ruination of the Jedi Enclave . The Academy remained virtually unpopulated until the disastrous Conclave on Katarr in the year 3956 BBY ; Jedi Master Atris fled to the Telosian Jedi Academy with a collection of not only Jedi holocrons , but Sith holocrons as well . Sacred Places . The Telosian citizens were fiercely proud of the Sacred Places found throughout their planet . Two of the most well - loved national parks were approximately half a day ' s ride by swoop bike from Thani . The Mirror Caverns were a series of caves located deep in a forest glade , high in the snow - capped stone mountains . The name of the caverns was derived from the stone , malab , that lined the interior of the caves . Malab was a rare and highly prized mineral that had a lustrous black color and a very slick surface ; many first - time visitors to the caverns would become disoriented by the shimmering blackness . Adjacent to the caverns could be found the Park of Sacred Pools , a series of small steam pools , edged with golden sand . The pools were fed by an underground spring , which also bubbled to the surface in small streams . The springs were a favorite of those Telosians needing physical relaxation after a long hike through the park . Anglebay Station . Anglebay Station was a medical facility located in an isolated area of Telos . During the Galactic Civil War , the facility was recognized as politically neutral by the Empire ; therefore , Imperial stormtroopers , Rebel soldiers , and various other unaffiliated individuals received treatment . The station was divided into several sections , including a computer records section that stored the treatment histories of former patients , and the in - patient bays , where current patients were quartered . The medical personnel included Humans , with droid orderlies augmenting the group . In the year 0 ABY , the station was destroyed by a former patient , Beilert Valance , who had been fitted with cybernetic parts at the facility during the Kwymar Suppressions . Valance had been determined to destroy Anglebay Station in order to keep secret that more than half of his body was machine . Behind the scenes . Naming and development . The planet Telos IV first appeared in the 1978 Marvel " Star Wars " comic book " " , under the name Telos - 4 . Subsequent appearances in the " Jedi Apprentice " novels " " , " " , " " , and " " , and the novels " " , " Legacy of the Jedi " , and " The Life and Legend of Obi - Wan Kenobi " , all refer to the planet as simply Telos , as does the media involving the " Knights of the Old Republic " series : video game s " " and " " ; and story arc " " , " " and " " .
