Star Wars Ascendance/The University Of Tattooine
The University of Tattooine[edit]
This ancient storehouse of wisdom are the carefully preserved records of what was known as the ===Skywalker Praxeum.=== Established millenia ago by the Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, thousands of years of not only Jedi lore but also sciences, history, the arts, and technology. When the hyperspace routes collapsed, and the few remaining Jedi were cut off with their school, they resolved to preserve and protect the knowledge of the galaxy as well as they could. The ancient arts of the Jedi Knights were diligently practiced, and the teachings of 100 other force using sects were preserved in the ancient vaults. The Jedi caretakers reached out to the Tusken and Jawa natives of the planet, taking their numbers into their ranks.
When Danro Kesh made contact with the Jedi Seers of this place, it was almost as if they were waiting for him. Today, the Explorer Corps forward headquarters is located on Tattooine. Kesh University is staffed by Jedi and civilian scholars, who study all topics. The labs and research teams on Tattooine have rediscovered and created more new advances in both mechanical sciences, arts and history than even the most prestigious university of Obana. Most of the future leaders of the Alliance attend the university at one time or another.
While ultimately responsible to the Jedi Assembly, the administration of the University is allowed to be independent, so that the researchers can be unfettered in their inquiry. While all studies into the Force must be overseen by the Assembly, anything else permitted by Alliance law is encouraged, although there is the usual academic politicking for resources. The Jedi run their place of learning with a light yet remarkably steady hand.
Mos Eisley, Tattooine's capital city, is as cosmopolitan as Obanasha, although much less populated.
The ancient Jundland Praxeum is located here. While there are lesser praxeums located throughout Alliance space, and the ancient apprenticeship practices are quite strong, all Jedi come here to study deeply the ancient secrets of the Force, and to undergo the Jedi Trials and be recognized as Jedi Knights. The Praxeum is shared with other force using sects such as the Dathomir Witches and the Kel Dorr Seers. The sparse and ancient monastery is also where the Jedi gather to determine courses of action, under their ancient practices of Assembly.
