Palace stables

The palace stables of the Pijali monarchy were located on the grounds of the Pijali palace on the Inner Rim planet Pijal. The structure housed Pijal varactyls used for both recreational riding and ceremonial Grand Hunt events. By the time of the Republic Era, the stables were a short distance away from a cantina operating in Pijal's capital city, hunting grounds, and other establishments. In 40 BBY, Pijal's Jedi lord regent Rael Averross and some associates rode some varactyls in a race, later returning the creatures to the stables.

Days after the race, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn arrived on Pijal for an investigative mission, and assisted Averross in readying security measures for the stables and surrounding palace grounds in preparation for the Grand Hunt hosted for the Pijali Princess Fanry. On the night of the event, Jinn and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi were given varactyls from the stables that they then rode in the hunt. When the Grand Hunt ended in an attempt on Fanry's life, the Jedi pair investigated the sabotaged crab droid used in the attack while visiting the palace stables.
