Artifact chamber

The artifact chamber was a room in the archive of the Jedi temple on the planet Batuu. It contained a collection of artifacts from the Outer Rim Territories, including a crystalized skull of an ancient Batuu sea bear and a small compass. 
In 382 BBY,According to The High Republic: Quest for Planet X, Rooper Nitani's time in the Batuu Jedi temple archive takes place between the outbreak of the Battle of Jedha and the Night of Sorrow, both of which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 382 BBY. on her second day in the archive, Jedi Padawan Rooper Nitani studied the many artifacts in the chamber and their unique shapes while practicing mentally organizing them into classes. Eventually, she heard her name whispered despite being there alone. Because of this, Nitani reached out into the Force and discovered that while everything in the chamber was connected to the Force, the compass particularly called to her. After finding it tucked behind the bear skull and picking it up, Nitani felt calm. She explained this experience to Jedi Master Merak, the archivist of the temple, who allowed her to keep the compass so that she could keep following the will of the Force.
