Citadel Inquisitorius

For other uses, see Citadel (disambiguation).

"There's a lot of rumors floating around the Deep Core, from tales of the Emperor's hidden pleasure palace to stories about that so-called Citadel Inquisitorius that I don't even feel comfortable talking about on a private shadowfeed."

―Amara^[1]

Citadel Inquisitorius was the headquarters for most of the Inquisitorius, located on the mountainous planet Prakith in the Deep Core. Here, the High Inquisitors received assignments and conferred with other Inquisitors. The citadel was a dark, fear-inspiring tower jutting forebodingly from the mountains. Inside, it had features similar to those of religious structures found galaxywide, with vaulted ceilings and massive obsidian columns; it also contained a number of detention cells and torture chambers used to interrogate the most resilient and dangerous prisoners.

Many Prakith citizens claimed that the screams of tortured Jedi brought to the citadel echoed across the mountains for days on end.

History[]

Circa 17 BBY, Jedi Master Denia was captured by her former Padawan, Imperial Inquisitor Valin Draco. She was held deep within the Citadel Inquisitorius on Pakith and tortured. Her allies in the Alderaanian Resistance later tried to rescue her by attacking the Citadel, but she sacrificed herself during the battle to allow the Rebels to escape.^[2]
