A Monument to Progress
Theed Municipal Archives, Naboo — Beneath the grand architecture of Theed lies the ancient and powerful energy facility that once powered not just the city—but the climax of a conflict that altered galactic destiny. The Theed Power Generator was the setting for the confrontation between Jedi and Sith, but its significance runs far deeper than the duel itself. It was here that balance tilted, and history was quietly redirected.
A Duel in Shadow
While Naboo’s skies were filled with conflict and its streets with resistance, it was within the maze of plasma conduits and energy bridges that Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi faced the Sith warrior known as Darth Maul. The battle was swift, brutal, and decisive—but for all its spectacle, the deeper consequence lay in the seed it planted.
The First Revelation
For the Jedi Council, the duel confirmed what they had long refused to admit: the Sith had returned. But their conclusion came too late. Jinn’s death robbed the Order of one of its few voices of intuition and independence. Kenobi’s victory, while celebrated, marked not triumph but transition. The Sith were not gone. They were only beginning.
A Designed Outcome
While the duel appeared accidental, some now question whether its location was coincidence. The facility was built to regulate power—but in this moment, it concentrated it. Whether by fate or design, the death of one Sith and the rise of another occurred in the shadows of industrial precision and political distraction. History would record the victor. But strategy had already moved on.

The events within the Theed Power Generator changed the Jedi, reshaped the Sith, and echoed silently into every chamber of galactic power that followed. One duel ended. Another had already begun.
