Located within the boundaries of the Serpent's Vanguard, the Kumori Training Center offers two facilities to House Caliburnus members for continued training in various combat arts.
Primary Facility
The Primary Training Facility is a short, two-level building in which members of the House can visit to work out in. Located on the outskirts of the Serpent’s Vanguard, it is not incredibly convenient for members, so the designers of the Vanguard decided to build another training facility closer to the other buildings of the facility. Although the Bastion Regiment also has access to the Primary Training Facility, members rarely visit it because of the gyms that were built into the Regiment’s barracks.
Constructed of natural rock, metal, and glass, the exterior of the Primary Training Facility has a plain and antiquated appearance. The interior battles this theme by having very modern technology, including some of the latest technological machines for helping to build and tone muscle.
Outside of the Primary Training Facility are several small fields and courts so that visitors to the facility can train outdoors. The variety of settings and equipment within the facility enables Dark Jedi to train so that they can have a greater chance of succeeding when on missions.
Level One
Level One of the Primary Training Facility has sliding glass doors that are flanked by large glass windows. The doors open onto a comfortable reception area, complete with a reception desk. The receptionists are charged with ensuring security within the facility. Behind the reception desk are three lifts for going to the upper level. In addition, there is a data-screen on the wall behind the desk that shows visiting Dark Jedi what rooms and machines are in use so that, if need be, they can return at a later time. In one corner of the reception room there is a counter that holds refreshments so that visitors can eat in between exercises. Completing the reception area are comfortable chairs and couches for these people to sit on while eating.
Right and left of the reception desk are archways that lead to short hallways. At the ends of these hallways are identical double doors that open onto a large gym. Along the longer walls of this extensive room are stadium seating for the various bouts that occasionally occur in the Training Facility. The large space in the center of the gym has a highly polished floor of wood for people to stretch their muscles and place competitive sports and games that do not require padding. On the exterior of this wood floor is an oval wooden track for visitors to run on to build endurance. At the back of the expansive room are various machines that can be used for building and toning muscles.
Level Two
The lifts behind the reception desk open onto a large hallway. The hallway extends in three directions in a “T” shape with the lifts at the intersection. Between the doors on the hallway are shelves and other various means for storing weapons that can be used in the training rooms that are on this level.
Along the horizontal part of the T are training dojos of various sizes for martial arts battles and practice. These rooms have wood floors, padded wooden walls, and the larger ones have several wooden pillars. Lightsaber training and practice can also occur in these rooms. If there are no opponents available and a room is open, a visitor can use the reception desk to request a droid to battle against. Competitions can take place in either these rooms, or the gym on the floor below.
Along the vertical part of the T are training rooms for blaster practice. These are larger than the training dojos that are dedicated to martial arts practice. Like the procedure for the dojos, visitors can use the reception desk to request a droid to battle against. This occurs more often with blaster practice because Dark Jedi are more likely to want to train with lightsabers, especially Journeymen before they reach the rank of Dark Jedi Knight.
Secondary Facility
Very similar to the Primary Training Facility, the Secondary Training Facility is located closer to the rest of the facilities of the Serpent’s Vanguard. Because of this, the designers were limited more in the size of the building they were allowed to erect.
Built in a “T” shape, like the Second Level of the Primary Training Facility, the Secondary Training Facility has a reception desk instead of the elevators. Between the doors on the hallway, there are various weapons that can be used in the training rooms that are located in the facility.
Along the vertical part of the T are training dojos of various sizes for martial arts battles and practice. These rooms have wood floors, padded wooden walls, and the larger ones have several wooden pillars and are a good deal smaller than their counterparts in the Primary Training Facility. Lightsaber training and practice can also occur in these rooms. If there are no opponents available and a room is open, a visitor can use the reception desk to request a droid to battle against. Competitions cannot take place in the Secondary Training Facility because it is much smaller than the Primary Training Facility.
Along the horizontal part of the T are training rooms for blaster practice. These are larger than the training dojos that are dedicated to martial arts practice, yet still smaller than their counterparts in the Primary Training Facility. Like the procedure for the dojos, visitors can use the reception desk to request a droid to battle against.
