Emperor's wayfinder

Canon Linked from 24 articles

The Emperor's wayfinder was a Sith wayfinder belonging to the Dark Lord of the Sith and deposed Galactic Emperor, Darth Sidious, that led to the Sith Citadel on Exegol. It was originally located in his throne room in the Imperial Vault on the second Death Star. The Jedi Rey, Sidious' granddaughter, traveled to the ruins of the Death Star II on Kef Bir, after the mission to Kijimi, to obtain the wayfinder. Supreme Leader Kylo Ren destroyed the device in order to turn Rey to the dark side and force her to accompany him to Exegol.
