History[]

By the time after the Galactic Civil War, the temple had been reduced to ruins.^[1]

In 9 ABY,^[2] Ahsoka Tano journeyed to the Nightsisters' Temple on the planet Arcana and completed a puzzle to acquire the Arcana Star Map that led to the far galaxy where Grand Admiral Thrawn was believed to have been exiled. After acquiring the star map, Tano was attacked by multiple HK-87 assassin droids, whose self-destruct sequences burnt down what remained of the temple.^[1]
