Takodana Castle, also known as Maz Kanata's castle, or simply as Maz's castle, is located on the planet of Takodana on the shore of Nymeve Lake. The castle is owned by the pirate Maz Kanata she rebuild it after it's been destroyed by the First Order during the Battle of Takodana.
== Description ==
Covered in an abundance of lush forests and dotted with small lakes, Takodana, located along the Great Gran Run, was a popular departure point that offered easy access to trade routes that connected the Inner and Outer Rim. For those heading outwards toward the galactic periphery, the planet is seen as a last taste of civilization, while those heading Corewards saw it a last grasp of frontier living. Travelers find the planet's neutrality and distance from galactic politics appealing, and as a result Takodana became a haven for fugitives, smugglers, and explorers. Takodana is known as the longtime home of Takodana Castle that serves as an open port to spies and dubious travelers alike. The world was connected to the Ring of Kafrene mining colony by the Biox Detour hyperspace route.
Situated by Nymeve Lake on Takodana, this fortress has a main hall and hosted travelers, smugglers, criminals, and beings of all walks of life. It has sensor grids and advanced communications gear. Beneath the main levels, the fortress contained dungeons, storerooms, and catacombs which housed tombs of ancient Jedi. The castle courtyard contained a massive statue of Maz Kanata, gifted to her by her former husband.
== History ==
Takodana Castle was once occupied by the Jedi and its catacombs contained tombs of Jedi Knights. It was rumored to have been a battleground for the Jedi and Sith.
Approximately a millennium before the First Order-Resistance conflict, Maz Kanata took ownership of the castle and established it as a safe haven for any who came there. All were welcome at Maz's castle so long as they followed the rules, which required no violence of any sort. As such, the castle saw visitors from all walks of life who could generally co-mingle without fear of attack. Kanata strictly enforced the rules personally with the aid of the ancient droid "ME-8D9"; those who violated them were forbidden from further visits. To this end, visitors to the castle were greeted by a sign which read "All are welcome. (No fighting.)" The mantra "NO FIGHTING" was a core rule of Maz Kanata's fortress, with the warning posted in various galactic languages. This meant that even those who were in grave trouble, such as having a bounty on their head, could find refuge at the castle. Such individuals, however, would only be granted one free night of food, water, and shelter, after which they would have to pay a heavy fee if they wished to remain. The groundskeeper of the castle is HURID-327.
