The Stone of Remembrance

A large monument built in the early days of the UGF, the Stone of Remembrance listed all of the (non-Progenitor) casualties during the Uprising. Made out of smooth slabs of stone, it lists the names and species of every casualty, sorted per year of death.
In the year 838, four years after dismantling the UGF and taking over most of the galaxy, the Coalition destroyed the Stone of Remembrance in an attempt to bury the galaxy's history, in the hopes of discouraging uprisings. The ruined remains of the memorial were eventually lost to history after Haven fell apart and became abandoned.

Purpose / Function

The Stone of Remembrance was built to serve as a memorial of all those who died during the Uprising, leading to the freedom of the people of the galaxy, and the creation of the UGF. Aside from remembering those who gave their lives, its continued existence during the Second Age served to make people remember their roots, the very base of the UGF. People died for the galaxy to be united, to be equals. Losing that, or giving up on it, would be a terrible waste of their lives, no matter how long ago it was.
Aside from the memorial itself, technology was built around it to make the memorial more accessible. Poles with speakers that would read the text aloud when pressed were built in the initial version, but later replaced with more modern technology that sent the speech to the requester's own tech, and other such things. Many of those who came to mourn here had lost more in the Uprising than just their fellow soldiers, after all.

Alterations

No changes were ever made to the Stone of Remembrance itself, the slabs of stone protected from the environment and kept safe. The technology set around them, however, has gone through many updates over the years, to keep them up-to-date with general galactic technology, and to ensure it functioned as well as possible.

History

The Stone of Remembrance was built in the early days of the UGF as a piece of remembrance to the Uprising and all those who gave their lives so the UGF could exist. Though it's hardly the first memorial to the Uprising to exist, it was one of the first things built by the UGF, and the first Uprising memorial to exist on Haven. It was one of the longest-lived memorials to the Uprising during the Second Age, as most planets eventually lost theirs to the centuries of time passing... but not all.
Early during the Third Age, in the year 838, the Coalition destroyed the Stone of Remembrance to stop it from reminding the people of their history. Later during the Third Age, as Haven was abandoned and fell apart, the memorial was lost altogether.

Tourism

Early during the Second Age, when people still lived who knew the people written on the Stone of Remembrance, visitors were often those grieving, mourning, or remembering specific people. As time passed on, it became more of a generalized remembrance, a physical reminder of where they had come from, and what it had taken to get there. It was popular among all sorts of people, including Representatives remembering what they were representing, students and kids learning about the UGF's history, and historians alike. Depending on why they were here, visitors could stop by briefly, or spent hours at a time taking in the somber atmosphere, remembering people who had died generations ago.
