Kesh capitol building This capitol building was located in the city of Tahv , the capital of the planet Kesh . Destruction . It was a large , glass - domed building located in the center of a cluster of buildings in the Circle Eternal , which had previously been a large public plaza in Tahv . The interior was dark , with stone floors and a fountain of running water . This building was several stories high , and housed the Circle Chambers in it ' s upper levels , which were accessible via a winding staircase . History . The Tribe ' s founder and first Grand Lord Yaru Korsin began constructing the Kesh capitol building in 4975 BBY . The capitol building was constructed to commemorate the twenty - fifth anniversary of the Tribe ' s arrival on Kesh . Prior to that , the Tribe had resided on a mountainside Sith Temple which had been built over the Sith starship " Omen " in the Takara Mountains . Following the death of Yaru Korsin that year , his daughter Nida Korsin ordered the entire Tribe to move to Tahv and made the capitol building the residence of the Grand Lord . The capitol building also housed the Tribe ' s historical archive and the office of the Caretaker , who was charged with safeguarding the Tribe ' s historical records and timekeeping . The capitol building fell into ruins during the Time of the Rot , a 960 period of instability and civil war which had occurred following the death of Grand Lord Lillia Venn during the Night of the Upside - Down Meteor in 3960 BBY . The only place within the building which remained intact by 3000 BBY was the office of the Caretaker which contained the Tribe ' s archives and a Sandpipe used for measuring time . The capitol building ' s grand atrium was also the meeting place for the various leaders of the Sith factions on Testament Day when the Testament of Yaru Korsin was read out to the Tribe . During the Great Crisis , Sith rioters looted and sacked the archives , destroying many historical parchments and the Sandpipe . During the Hilts Restoration , Grand Lord Varner Hilts oversaw the restoration of the capitol building to its former glory . It became the official residence of the Grand Lord and his family again . In 2975 BBY , the Alanciari hostage Jogan Halder was welcomed into the capitol building as a guest of the Sith . As a ruse to convince Halder that the Sith were the benevolent Protectors , Halder was told by his Keshiri guides that the Sith always resided within the capitol building where they meditated peacefully . He was also permitted to meet the Circle of Lords , who also met in that building . Following a failed assassination attempt against Grand Lord Hilts in 2974 BBY , the Sith anarchist Parlan Spinner was brought into Hilts ' parlor in the capitol building . There , Hilts made the decision to spare Spinner ' s life and sent the youth to work as a sailor aboard the Alanciari sailing ship " Southern Star " . During the Siege of Tahv that same year , parts of the Kesh capitol building were damaged by the Sith Lord Remulus Dreypa ' s Leviathans . However , these were destroyed by Spinner ' s Jedi starship . Following the defeat of Dreypa , the capitol building along with the rest of Tahv was rebuilt .
