DESCRIPTION
The Brighthome-class space station was a class of stationary space station developed by the Jedi Order to serve the purpose of space-worthy Jedi temples. The stations were, for all intents and purposes, full-fledged Jedi temples in space and were used for the purposes of training Jedi and acting as a base of operations for the Jedi Order in a particular region of space. These space-temples could operate in deep space, like their namesake Brighthome (a space station Jedi temple in the Mid Rim), or could be placed in orbit above a planet. They were stocked with all of the necessary amenities for a large group of Jedi to survive for eight months at a time.The Brighthome-class station was a kilometer from its base to its tallest tower and was five-hundred meters across from docking pad to docking pad. The station had six towers in total: a tall central tower, featuring the statue of a Jedi Knight at the top, two slightly smaller towers on either side of it, two slightly smaller towers on either side and to the back of those, and a final pair of smaller frontward-facing towers. Two "wings" stuck out from either side of the base of the station. Each served as a landing pad for ships. Each also had the capacity to store six starfighters and a single shuttle, for a grand total of twelve starfighters and two shuttles. The base station featured no weaponry, but weapons could be mounted on the tops of all the towers but the central one if the appropriate modifications were made.
Internally, Brighthome stations were fully-functional Jedi temples. They possessed small apartment-sized rooms for any Jedi who chose to live on-board, fully-stocked classrooms, a medical wing, and a mess hall. Further up in the main tower was a fully operational security room, which allowed those inside to monitor sensor data and internal security. A small armory on-board frequently stored Jedi robes, armors, and lightsabers, as well as any other gear typically used by the Jedi Order. Any and all data from these stations was backed up on the central computer and likewise backed up to the main Jedi temple on Tython, allowing the Order's headquarters to monitor the status of its various space stations. And, of course, at the very top of the spire was a council chamber room for use by any of the Jedi Councils.
Several Brighthome stations existed prior to the Hundred-Year Darkness. However, only one, the space station class's namesake in the Mid Rim, remained after the war was concluded. The schematics for building new space stations of this class were located in the Jedi Archives on Tython, but, as they were costly to build, maintain, and operate, they were only used in rare instances, such as when a surface-level temple was not optimal or when a secret Jedi temple was needed. The Brighthome itself has been lost for over a century, left adrift and lost to space after it was raided by the Empire during the reign of Darth Sidius.
LEGALITY
Restricted. This class of space station is entirely unique to the Jedi Order. It is legal within Jedi Space, but their legality is varied outside Jedi space.INTENT
In both their lore, write-ups, and the main temple/Force-site write-ups on the site, Brighthome is included as a Jedi temple. This tech write-up will serve as a basis for a lore entry, and serve as the goal of a Jedi plot.RESTRICTIONS
Restricted to ownership by factions and large NPC organizations only; it is simply too big to be used by one person or a small group.OOC: All credit to @Malon for creating this write-up.
