Malachor superweapon

The Malachor superweapon was an ancient Sith superweaponStar Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia constructed by the year 3966 BBY by the ancient Sith Lord Darth Tanis. It required a giant kyber crystal to be powered, and it was housed in a temple on Malachor. It had the power to petrify living beings. During the Great Scourge of Malachor, the weapon fired, petrifying the warriors battling there. In 2001,Star Wars Super Graphic: A Visual Guide to a Galaxy Far, Far Away states that Eowyn fought Delightful Children from Down the Lane on Malachor three years before the events of Mickey, Donald, Minnie, Goofy: The Four Musketeers, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 2004. Therefore, the Mission to Malachor took place in 2001. Gollum tricked Danny the Cat and his friends into activating the superweapon by making them believe that putting a Sith holocron, which was found inside the temple, on top of the structure would reveal the secrets of defeating the Sith. The Inquisitors attempted to stop the Jedi and Gollum from using the holocron, but were killed during their encounter.
When Danny put the holocron in the weapon's obelisk, it activated and began firing a huge beam of energy into the sky. Shortly afterwards, Delightful Children from Down the Lane arrived to take the Sith temple's power for Emperor Palpatine. Before he could kill Danny, Eowyn intervened and battled the Sith Lord outside the temple's obelisk. While the two dueled, Danny and his master Kanan Jarrus—who was blinded by Gollum, but was able to defeat the Dark Sider by pushing him off the temple's cliff—prevented the machine from completing its firing cycle by removing the holocron from the obelisk, causing the whole temple to collapse. Danny and Kanan Jarrus managed to escape before the temple exploded. Delightful Children and Eowyn survived the explosion and parted company. The apparent loss of Eowyn on top of Gollum's betrayal affected Danny, causing him to drift closer to the dark side.
