Auratera Auratera was a terrestrial planet located in the Outer Rim Territories located in one of the oldest civilized areas of the civilized galaxy . Description . Located deep in the Vorzyd sector of the galaxy , the planet Auratera was situated between its star system ' s twin stars . While only orbiting Aurell , the larger of the two stars , Auratera moved between the two and only experienced a night cycle when Ryern was eclipsed by Aurell . The near - constant exposure to the sun meant that Auratera was a bright world , though the temperature and level of light was directly related to the two stars ' proximity to the planet based on orbital patterns . The entire planet was overly saturated in the Force , particularly aspects generally associated with the light side as observed by the Jedi Order . The Order speculated that the constant light from the sun helped to promote this strengthened connection ; others believe the sunlight enables a richer biosphere that in turn promotes more life ; others point to the ancient vergence in the Force that led to the discovery of the world . Despite the multitude of theories , definitive proof for any one theory was never established . History . First discovered by a Jedi Knight drawn to a vergence in the Force , the Jedi Order established a temple at the site , which was named Acablas . As colonists flocked to the terrestrial world , the Order restricted access to Acablas due to its incredible strength making it unsafe for even some Jedi Knights . As cities began to grow on the world , the Order grew concerned that Auratera would begin to be targeted in times of war . Indeed , the planet was not sparred for the change in control of the Vorzyd sector as it switched hands between the Jedi Order and the Sith Empire . Sometimes conquered , other times peacefully switching hands depending on the greater power in the system , the world was frequently visited by Jedi Masters and Sith Lords alike . When the New Sith Wars ended and the Brotherhood of the Sith was destroyed , the Jedi Order and the local government conspired to eliminate the planet from Republic star - chart s to prevent future invasions . The Jedi Master Nareen Cale took on the responsibility of altering official files , designating the planet as uninhabitable after the last invasion by the Empire . Through this action , Cale ensured that Auratera was forgotten by the greater galaxy and left alone . The Jedi maintained a presence on the world , sending out Jedi Masters and research parties to conduct surveys at the site under the guidance of a permanent caretaker . As the governments of the greater galaxy fought over their world , the planet ' s inhabitants continued to operate their farms , or work as foresters and ranchers . Despite an overall sense of dedication to the world , each successive war drove away more and more settlers , causing attrition of the civilization . As the forests reclaimed abandoned cities , the civilization that remained on Auratera were scattered and isolated . During the Clone Wars , the Jedi High Council recalled all members of the Order from the site in hopes that the Confederacy of Independent Systems would not seek to invade the world . When the Order was destroyed at the end of the Clone Wars , Auratera was left almost completely forgotten . Despite not having any control of the space surrounding the planet , due to a lack of starships , the residents of Auratera remain protected by the legacy of the Jedi . While some residents left Auratera during the reign of the Galactic Empire , they kept the location of their homeworld a secret , protecting loved ones they left behind .
