Star compass

A Star compass, also known as a Jedi star compass, was a unique piece of ancient astrogational technology that was developed by the Prime Jedi with the assistance of sorcerers from the realm of Asgard. Only five of these compasses were ever made.
==Description==
The Star compass was a palm-sized circular device. It could be open and shut like a locket, held in place by an aurodium clamp. The lid of the compass was engraved with astromeridian etch lines, while the innards of the compass were stylized with a graduated bezel. At the center of the device was a plasma-encased supraluminite lodestone which was enchanted by Asgardian sorcerers to be attuned to the hyperspace route which led to Ahch-To, the planet which saw the birth of the Jedi Order.
==History==
===Old Republic era===
Because the route to Ahch-To was relatively difficult to navigate at the time, the Prime Jedi invented the Star compass to help his followers gain easier access to the planet's location. Odin, the king of Asgard, agreed to assist him with the creation of the device, and adjured a small number of Asgardian sorcerers to do so. Afterwards, one of these compasses remained in Odin's possession.
Nearly three thousand years later, the legendary Jedi Grand Master Satele Shan used a Star compass to find the Jedi homeworld, where she spent the remainder of her life in peaceful solitude.
===Imperial Era===
By the year 3 BBY, the Fallanassi were in possession of a Star compass, which they kept in a Temple on J't'p'tan. Another Star compass was located at the Lothal Jedi Temple two years later by an acolyte of the Sith Eternal during the Temple's excavation, which Imperial advisor and Minister Veris Hydan had delivered to Emperor Palpatine just prior to the former's demise. Though it’s purpose was discerned shortly thereafter, the complexity of the device engendered a long duration for which to fully comprehend and utilize the processes of the device - a setback that did not dispel the desire of his apprentice Sith Lord Darth Vader to personally and decisively eliminate Satele’s descendant Jedi Master Jarik Shan of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, however. Some time afterwards, the compass would eventually be stored in Emperor Palpatine's Observatory on Pillio.
