Temple of Kooroo

The Temple of Kooroo was a Shrine of Kooroo located on the Outer Rim Territories planet Vaynai. One of a series of similar ancient stone structures that were believed to have been constructed by an advanced alien species on several worlds throughout known space, the temple on Vaynai was a domed building located on the top surface of Streysel Island.

Early explorers discovered the Kooroo Sundial artifact in the Temple of Kooroo, and eventually both the artifact and the entire Streysel Island, including the temple, came into the possession of the crime lord and art collector Gallo Memm. Although the Temple of Kooroo was situated on the grounds of Memm's estate, the collector allowed groups of pilgrims of the Fellowship of Kooroo, a cult dedicated to the worship of the Kooroo shrines, to visit the sanctuary on his property under armed escort and spend the night meditating inside the shrine.
