Jedi Watchpost
The Jedi Watchpost on Keryndal is not a grand temple or fortress — it’s a small, serene stronghold built into the top levels of Firstlight Station. Designed with minimalist architecture, clean white walls, soft lighting, and meditation alcoves, the watchpost serves as both a listening post for Force disturbances on the planet below and a diplomatic hub for Jedi mediators working between Republic agents, settlers, and local clans.
It includes a meditation chamber overlooking the planet, a small sparring dojo, a library archive with data on Keryndal’s ruins and the Val Teyra Force anomalies, and private living quarters for the stationed Jedi. The outpost has a direct hangar connection to a few Jedi starfighters or shuttles.
Location: Outer ring of Firstlight Station, near the Observation Ring with a view down to Keryndal’s surface
Affiliation: Jedi Order, High Republic
Staffing: 3–4 Jedi (rotating), 6 support staff (Republic techs, researchers)
Purpose: Monitor Force disturbances, mediate colonial disputes, study Val Teyra ruins, and provide aid to the Republic’s frontier efforts
