Ziggurat

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

A ziggurat was a type of pyramidal structure. These structures were built on the planet of Gobindi by the native people. They were made of slabs of stone stacked on top of each other, each slab a little bit smaller than the one below it, so that the sides of the structures looked like giant staircases. The natives built them to contain a deadly virus. By 0 ABY, all civilization on Gobindi was based in buildings built atop the ziggurats.

Another example of a ziggurat was the Old City of Tython, as shown in a drawing by Je'daii Order Master Jake Fenn.

The Temple of Pomojema was also considered a ziggurat.
