Spintir

Spintir was a planet in the Spadja sector of the Outer Rim that was home to a Jedi temple known as the Dawn Temple, and an unusually high number of mammals. Spintir was a wealthy trade world.

Jedi Temple World
During the days of the Old Republic, the Jedi Order maintained a large archive and training institution referred to as the Dawn Temple. Spintir was viewed as a planet full of life, given the massive influx of mammals and fauna populating the planet. The Dawn Temple was meant to compliment the presence of life through enlightenment of the mind and body.

Fall of Spintir
Given its vast farmland and resource, Spintir was an easy target for the Empire to seize. Given it's position along the Ardan Cross and it's relative positioning, the Empire sent the 187th Attack Battalion in full strength to seize the planet from the Jedi. The Dawn Temple turned out to be a much difficult target than expected, the temple had large shield projectors and a series of convenient rock slides made much of the terrain impassable. The 187th experienced heavy causalities but after two months of gridlock,they were able to infiltrate a Commando Team in to the temple and remove the sentries. At the personal order of the Emperor's Inquisitors on planet, the Jedi survivors were to be taken prisoner. In total, 11 Jedi Knights and 14 younglings were provided to the Inquisitors and left to fates unknown.

A Quiet Existence
Since the conflict during the Jedi Purge, the planet of Spintir has been quiet. Dawn Temple remains abandoned and the Spintiri are content with their farming and commerce. Although a few Spintiri speak of the age of the Jedi, these talks remain behind closed doors and in low voices. The Imperial Garrison on the planet is home to the Regional Moff for the Spadja Sector.
