Acablas Acablas was a site consisting of both natural and constructed structures , all centered around a powerful vergence on the planet Auratera in Wild Space . Overview . Acablas was a site on the planet Auratera that had attracted Force - sensitives for centuries , drawn by the powerful vergence in the Force . A complex nexus of power , Acablas was dangerous to those untrained in the Force , and even some trained Jedi Knights were prone to its ill - effects . The powers of the vergence fluctuated between mildly light and deeply influenced by the dark side ; while the planet was largely basked in the light side of the Force , the site sometimes acted as a well in which the dark side was concentrated . The switch in the nexus ' alignment was swift and abrupt , and often coincided with the solar events in the system . The site was home to many different structures which varied in size , use , and architecture . Constructed by the Jedi Order , Sith Empires , and various others , some ranged from monolithic and elaborate , while others were simple or prefabricated . Many of the temples were built over existing facilities , causing their interiors to be maze - like , and difficult to navigate . The most notable structures were Aca ' s Funnel , which was built over the cenote , and the Sith and Jedi temples . The structure that all of the others were built around was the cenote , a natural cavern that contained the vergence . Partially flooded by a lazy underground river , a series of complex caverns were connected to the cenote and led into the bowels of the planet . The earliest visitors to the site used the Force to reinforce the dome of the cenote with duracrete - like stone slabs . The facility ' s walls were decorated with elaborate paintings of the Force in use , and symbols of unknown origin . At its base , the exposed rock of the cavern was still visible , supporting a stone walkway that encircled the chamber , with archways allowing access to the caverns beyond . Just below the walkway , extremely clear water pooled , varying based on weather conditions in the region . A stone platform rose from the water in the center of the chamber , though whether it was natural or constructed could not be determined . While some sections of the ceiling had been replaced due to age by later inhabitants , large pockets of the dome had collapsed by the time of the Galactic Civil War into the pool . Skeletons and artifacts discarded from ancient ceremonies remained sunken in the waters . History . Originally discovered millennia in the past , Acablas was a mystery to Force - sensitives and attracted attention somewhat frequently . Constructing the first structures at the site , the initial inhabitants of the area long disappeared , along with much of their construction . Both the Jedi Order and the Sith Empires of old fought violently over the site , with Jedi Masters undergoing trials of strength , while the Sith punished Sith Lords and apprentices in violent rituals . After the New Sith Wars , Jedi Master Nareen Cale secretly changed the war reports , claiming the Auratera was rendered uninhabitable by fierce battles between the Sith and the Jedi . Cale worked with the local government of Auratera to ensure that the Jedi and the Sith would never bother the complex again . The Jedi occasionally sent representatives to study the site and maintain their facilities ; though droids were left to largely ensure upkeep . During the Clone Wars , Acablas ' caretaker was recalled to avoid drawing the attention of Darth Tyranus . With the rise of the Galactic Empire , Auratera fell completely out of memory and thought , with the locals giving the place a wide berth and never speaking of it .
