The Galactic Athenaeum

Neutral — Library — Independent​

Appearance:

The Athenaeum is an enormous (and ever-growing) library, devoted to preserving all existing knowledge. Though the entrance can be found on the moon's surface, a majority of the archives are located within the intricate tunnel systems, deep underground. As expected of the oldest library known to exist, the structure is so large, it spans for miles and features a rather complex organisation system. Protocol droids are present to help in the maintaining of the structure, but can also as act guides for would-be seekers of knowledge. Special requests, however, must be processed through the Athenaeum’s chroniclers. There is a mixture of materials on offer, from handwritten scrolls, to digitalised tomes.


Origins:

From humble beginnings, the galactic conclave served as a sanctuary for dutiful scholars of knowledge. Eventually, it grew into a coalition, determined to preserve the ever-changing history of the galactic systems. Those seeking to devote themselves to knowledge can enter the Athenaeum as scribes. Their job was to go outwards on voyages, and not return until they had records of their own to add to the Athenaeum’s collection. After decades of service, they gain tenure and are regarded as chroniclers. Whilst entry into the galactic library is permissible to all, the archives are tricky to locate (given their location). It should also be noted that for the sake of prosperity, weapons are forbidden within the Athenaeum and security droids are ever present to maintain order. Fighting also is not condoned as it may damage the library’s literary treasures. Despite its impressive continuation, not many actually visit the galactic library; some speak of the place as if it is little more than legend, but truly the archives are a marvel to behold. Anyone who calls themselves an intellectual ought to make a pilgrimage there at least once in their lifetime. It is considered a good practice that (when you visit the Athenaeum) you offer something of your own for their records.

Rumours of Location:

Situated on one of the many moons of Iego.

Intent:

To create a usable location in which knowledge may be accessible.
