Also known as the Jensaarai library, the archives were located on the second floor of the temple building. It's floors wherever exposed due to no furniture on top of it were usually bare to show it's stone flooring, though some carpeting was found here and there within the library. The carpets usually being a shade of crimson red or violet in color. At the entrance of the library, which was located in the bottom center of the large chamber, was a counter which always had either a Jensaarai or a GE3-series protocol droid attending it who provided any assistance to any who wished to ask any questions regarding the archives. Nearby the counter was a circular terminal hub of computers which people could go to search on the library databanks for the location of certain material in the archives, or to perhaps use the HoloNet connection to search things on it's intergalactic web with the use of headphones to listen quietly without disturbing others. Wooden chairs with padding surrounded the circular hub so any could pull up one of them to sit down while doing research. Close by was also an area with a few couches and large tuffets, with a counter full of holozines as wells as newspapers for any to read to look up on current events in the galaxy.
Toward the southwestern area of the archive chamber lay the Wo hallway. It divided into two research sections. It's first section about the societal and political philosophy of many cultures found within the galaxy, while it's second section contained historical information about the galaxy and it's many planets with their many races. Large and tall bookshelves full of holobooks, holodiscs, datatapes, datacards, Holofilms, as well as datacrons were about which contained information regarding the subjects for any to look at to view their contents. Computer terminals nearby at the ends of the shelves in case if they were needed to look up any of the items found on the shelves.
Toward the northwestern area of the archive chamber lay the Yun hallway. Connected to the Wo hallway, this hall contained two research sections. The first section about mathematical and engineering sciences usually regarding hyperspace as well as vehicle engines needed to go into hyperspace, including information on starmaps of interstellar and planetary regions, as well as detailed analysis on civilizations within those areas. The second section of the hallway was dedicated to zoological research of the many flora and fauna found throughout the galaxy. Like the Wo hallway, it had many bookshelves full of the same types of media on it's stacks, including nearby computer terminals at the ends of the shelves if needed to research the said media item.
Toward the northeastern area of the archive chamber lay the Aleph hallway. Located on the opposite side of the Yun hallway, this hall contained two research sections. The first section regarded philosophies and theories on the Force itself. About the beliefs of many cultures regarding it's creation, it's workings, as well as it's many aspects. About the Light side of the Force, the Dark side of the Force, the Living Force, and the Unifying Force. Philosophies like the Potentium, the magic of Dathomir, the White Current, and of course, the one which the Jensaarai practiced known as Jiaasjen. Stories and myths of beings of the Force could be located at the hallway, such as myths regarding the Celestials and the Ones of Mortis. Information regarding various Force techniques and their use was also found here, though more restricted information regarding certain techniques would have to be found in the Holocron chamber. The second section of the Yun hallway regarded alloy and materials found in the galaxy. Epspecially about weaponry and armors. Particularly toward Lightsaber construction, lightsaber crystals, lightsaber combat forms, and various lightsaber exercises. Information regarding other forms of melee weaponry, or even info on blasters and other forms of long range weaponry could be found here. It was here that information on Jensaarai armor construction and tips on customization on said armors could be found too. Like the previous hallways, the Aleph hallway had many bookshelves full of media items with computers ready for usage from anyone in the library.
And toward the southeastern area of the archive chamber lay the Zayin hallway. Connected to the Aleph hallway and opposite of he Wo hallway, this place was a kind of Jensaarai museum of sorts. It was here many heritage tapestries featuring pictures of the history of the Jensaarai were located. As well as bronzium busts of various important individuals in the galaxy's history and to the Jensaarai were found here. Busts of Nikkos Tyris the first Saarai-kaar, the bust of the second Saarai-kaar, a bust of another Jensaarai, a bust of Kelbis Nu, and a bust of Desertrose. Busts of important Jedi such as Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker, Revan, Mace Windu, Meetra Surik, Corran Horn, and Ylenic It'kla. Also, busts of individuals who in the Jensaarai's point of view exercised the philosophy of Jiaasjen or were doing similar practices to themselves were featured too, such as a bust of Kel'eth Ur, Vassanar, busts of Imperial Knights, and Darth Gravid. Large bas-reliefs covered in the temple and other locations in the galaxy were brought here. A few Sith artifacts of minor importance such as Sith chalices with no incense, empty Spirit urns, Shikkar, Parangs, and Lanvaroks were on display along with other items.
Last but not least, toward the north at the very back of the chamber was the sealed off vault of the Jensaarai. For access, a member of the Jensaarai council would have to come to the vault, whether it be for themselves or to escort someone who wished to see something within it. To enter, first a Jensaarai would have to place their hand on an interactive control panel nearby the vault door for it to read their biometric fingerprints, then use telekinesis to unlock the Force-lock on the vault door. Without doing this, the door would not unlock and the security lasers within wouldn't deactivate. Upon entering the vault, the large room was separated into three main areas. The first was entered upon entry into the vault, which was a large hallway containing displays in remembrance of fallen Jensaarai. On the hallway walls being transparisteel cases displaying mannequins wearing the Jensaarai armors of deceased Jensaarai, along with their lightsabers, important weapons or items, a holoprojected picture of the said Jensaarai, and a Spirit urn containing the ashes of the Jensaarai should they wish their remains be located there. If the Jensaarai didn't have armor, their Jensaarai robes or other form of apparel would be displayed instead. The second area located to the west of the Remembrance hallway was the Holocron vault. Before one could enter it though, in between it and the hallway before it was a laser gate. The electron walls creating barriers that would have to be turned off by a Jensaarai council member by going to an interactive panel nearby the first electron wall, then have it scan one of their eyeballs to read the biometic data. Without doing that, the electron walls wouldn't deactivate, nor would the security holocamera with a built-in ELG-3A blaster set to stun at the end of the laser gate which would shoot at any who'd try to get close. Inside the Holocron vault contained many of the Jensaarai Holocrons within. The majority of them being in the shape of Sith holocrons in design, but more or less worked just like Jedi holocrons in terms of usage. Though not all of them were in those shapes, as Jensaarai could individually wish to shape their holocrons differently in whatever way they wanted. Other light-sided artifacts, including those of Jedi, could be found in the Holocron vault as well, though often permission from the Jedi was needed by the Jensaarai to keep said items that came from those of their particular order. The third area of the vault, toward the east of the Remembrance hallway was the Dark vault. Like the holocron vault, a laser gate separated the dark vault from the hallway. Difference though was the interactive panel at the first electron wall needed voice command of two to open, of which it would only respond to the voice command of two council members. Once that was done, the Laser gate would deactivate along with the security holocamera with an ELG-3A blaster set to stun at the end. Inside the Dark vault was where various Dark-sided artifacts, such as those created by the Sith were stored. Mainly their holocrons, alchemy-made swords, and amulets. Though some could be destroyed, any that couldn't and had to be safeguarded were brought here. Anyone who wished entry into the Dark vault needed the permission of the Jensaarai council first before entering, and they'd have to be escorted by two Jensaarai council members so as to watch for any content they'd disapprove the individual was wanting looking at.
Removal of any media items from within the archives was forbidden, though with special permission from a council member, they could if the item in question wasof no consequence. Certain ones could even be rented for a galactic week, such as certain holobooks or holofilms, but it was asked that the item in question be returned by one week's time. It was also possible to download information from the media devices and computers onto datapads or other storage devices, so as to take the information with them in that way to view it outside of the library for further study. Throughout the chamber of the archives were many paintings as well. Paintings such as Bothan Buff, A March to Restuss, Corellian Seaside, Dusk in Kachirho, Intense Performer, Mygeeto Burns, and Reclaimed Wreck were among the paintings that could be found on the walls of the library. As with many libraries, it was kindly asked that all within the archives to be quiet as others in the place were doing their research. It was also possible to find people meditating within the library and it's halls. Public refreshers were kept near the entrance, and storage rooms for the library was located toward the back of the northwestern side of the archives.
