Valley of the Jedi

The Valley of the Jedi, or the Valley of the Souls, was the site of the Seventh Battle of Ruusan, the last battle of the New Sith Wars which took place one thousand years before the Battle of Yavin. The battle was fought between warring armies of Jedi and Sith; the Dark Lord of the Sith Skere Kaan ordered for the creation of a thought bomb, a deadly weapon crafted through a Sith ritual, to be used against the Jedi. However, the weapon backfired and killed the Sith as well, trapping the souls of thousands on both sides as they were left unable to become one with the Force. The Valley of the Jedi then became a concentrated area of Force energy called a Force nexus, and was widely believed to be the most powerful Force nexus in the entire galaxy.
By the time of the Galactic Empire the location of Ruusan, and the Valley of the Jedi as a result, had been forgotten by the general population of the galaxy, although some groups like the Fallanassi retained knowledge of its whereabouts. During the Imperial Era, the intergalactic killer Gorr, the God Butcher, traveled to the Valley of the Jedi in search of a powerful Force nexus to help him open a portal to bypass the Vergence Scatter and find the realm of Eternity. Gorr absorbed all the power of the Force nexus and the trapped spirits as well, reducing it to a barren waste with no residual Force energy.
