| | [[File:Jedi-Temple-Chamber.png|right|200px]] Also known as the ''Sparring Arena'' and ''Combat Ring]], the Sparring Chamber is a misnomer. The area consists of a single large hall divided up into eighteen separate chambers, each averaging eighteen by eighteen metres in scale. This is intended to be best suited to either singular duels or engagements of four upon four, with rooms and overhangs allowing for tutors to monitor events if not joining the arena in person. These are built to be easily refitted and rebuilt to fit various mission profiles, as the atmospheric environment and temperature can be reworked to fit almost any terrain. At the same time, more advanced technology can be used to reform the very ground itself into a mix of varied terrains, of increased and lessened variation. Fast-growing mosses and even plants kept alive and reserved for bolstering these environments can be then used to further rework them to fit certain environments. |

| | The chambers are not meant to replace field training or missions over a much wider scale, but to allow for individuals to better learn the use of weaponry and tactics in small-scale direct engagements. This is intended to account for both the use of blasters and lightsabers to better accommodate all of the Corps' members, and several can even be reworked into a full-fledged firing range for close-range projectile weapons. When not reformed to emulate a foreign environment, the floor of each chamber is marked with a series of circles overlapping and radiating out from the middle. This is intended to further limit ranges and better train members in the use of either [[Martial Arts Forms]] or other melee techniques, by limiting their area of focus and altering it depending upon their skill. |

Torden Base can be found in the heart of the Judana plains, just a few clicks from the Wayfarer's Landing. It is built into the mouth of a cave that reaches deep but opens up into a cavern that is filled with Kyber Crystals, contains a Force Nexus, and is the shield that suppresses a dark presence that grows in intensity the deeper you travel.

Exterior
Outside, crescent flowing stairs lead away from a stone courtyard and to a grassy plain just above the main entrance. Defensive turrets such as the FPC 6.7 Anti-Aircraft Battery and the DF.9 Anti-Infantry Battery are strategically positioned in a way that helps them blend into the terrain. A low wall frames a clearing, where individuals or groups gather for sparring sessions. Close by is a transportation hub that acts as a lifeline to and from Wayfarer's Landing.

The Inner Sanctum
A ritualistic platform with stone seating surrounding it in a circle. Located inside one of the many caverns that run below the surface. Directly below the base. This is also where the knighting ceremonies take place.
The platform is a plinth held atop of a pool of water, with a stone octahedron hovering above its place. Each face of the plinth is carved with actions by Clan Odan-Urr, images from New Tython, and memories of the knights who served the Galactic Republic, and those of the revitalised Jedi Order. Although only reflecting brief moments in history, these are intended to honour the Jedi throughout the ages, displaying both their greatest triumphs and worst failings. It's seen as one final moment of recognition for students before joining, understanding what life they will be embracing, with echoes of those events written into the very Force about the plinth.
Beyond this one addition, the rituals to knight each new member can emulate any number of past or unique traditions; from the assembled council and severing of a Padawan's braid to the far more general ceremonies of Luke Skywalker's Order. These are watched over by several of the Guardian Corps' ranking members. What further separates this from other Clans is that those without a strong connection to the Force are also given the option to have award or promotional ceremonies take place here. Although few accept, normally requesting the Council Chambers or other locations, it is a gesture to further emphasise that all within the Guardians are equal and they do not raise some above others purely thanks to their origins.
Council Chambers
Four hallways link to the center of the facility, leading to a circular room open to the sky, with large pots on a raised platform, each one slightly bigger than the other. These pots hold the seeds to a variety of plants that were also planted in reclamation zones across the planet such as the Oku Flower. These plants are symbolic - the life in those pots is what the Guardians are fighting for, may it always be a reminder to the Council, to remain rooted and grounded in their mission.
The chamber consists of a large raised platform to hold the wealth of plant life in vast pots, while also ringing an upper gallery with vines and creepers about its edges. As the roof can easily be retracted and opened to the air, this allows for the plants to thrive throughout the day, and to be tended to by a mix of floating gardener droids.
The chambers can be easily reconfigured to suit a larger or smaller council as required, but more often than not also double as a briefing chamber for the Corps. The presence of several photographic projectors and its open tiered structure means that it can host the entire Corps and the majority of its supporting personnel in one place at any time.
Sparring Chamber
Also known as the Sparring Arena and Combat Ring]], the Sparring Chamber is a misnomer. The area consists of a single large hall divided up into eighteen separate chambers, each averaging eighteen by eighteen metres in scale.

Archives
Hidden among the lowest levels, the archives are the most heavily guarded area beyond the Barracks, Armory, and Council Chambers. Consisting of isolated computer terminals and holobook shelves, the area is carefully divided into a mix of separate chambers, separating out libraries based upon their area of focus. Several are given over to the history and teachings of the Jedi and other Force Orders, fully half are given out to military tactics and history for the Corps' personnel, and a multitude of others cover everything from psychology to diplomacy.
The archives are further divided up into later sections, either covering specific minor areas of interest or age. It is noted that the archive holds a multitude of tomes - ancient books in stasis fields to preserve their original knowledge - from across the galaxy's history. Many of these were recovered during the Guardians' missions, while a few were donated by its older members from personal archives. To contrast this, several of the Corps' members have contributed their own works at times, covering detailed records of events or lessons that are felt to be useful to the Corps.
Another, extremely heavily guarded, the section is held behind multiple sealed doors and bulkheads. Supposedly this is intended to be where the Corps' keeps any relics of the Dark Side they claim and retrieve, or knowledge that is deemed potentially harmful to untrained minds. This is actually a carefully disguised falsehood, known only to the Quaestor and Aedile, and the chamber is effectively empty save for multiple scanners and a vast number of security measures. This was crafted by Essik Lyccane during his tenure, using lessons felt from the loss of The Fang to create a trap for determined Dark Side assassins or thieves. The actual location where such items are guarded and examined remains unknown.
