Battle of Coruscant (Sith war)
Canon Linked from 7 articles
During a war against the Jedi Order, the Sith took control of the planet Coruscant, capital world of the Galactic Republic. During their occupation the Sith constructed a shrine over a sacred spire, a powerful light side vergence on the planet.
The Jedi laid a siege to the shrine, burning it to its foundations and defeating the Sith. The Four Masters would eventually construct a temple above the former site of the shrine to contain the dark energy emanating from the corrupted vergence and metaphorically bury the Sith legacy.
