The destruction of the Cathedral of Winds was an incident of sabotage performed by the former Galactic Empire Ambassador Furgan in 11 ABY. With the intent of killing Leia Organa Solo and Gial Ackbar, Furgan ordered Terpfen to sabotage Ackbar's shuttle. While ferrying Organa Solo to Vortex, Ackbar crashed against the local Cathedral of Winds and killed hundreds of native Vors, which was a blow to the morale and reputation of the New Republic. Eventually, Terpfen confessed to Organa Solo and she cleared the good name of the New Republic; meanwhile, the Vors built a second Cathedral.
