Koboh Observatory

The Koboh Observatory, also known as the Mountain Observatory, or simply called the Observatory, was a research facility located on the planet Koboh in the Outer Rim Territories. The Observatory represented the pinnacle of investment on the planet during the High Republic Era.

The observatory was constructed during the time of the High Republic for Jedi and Republic scientists to study every facet of the mysterious Koboh Abyss. Located adjacent to the Basalt Forest and Prospector's Folly, the observatory technically sat above the mountain rather than on it as a series of powerful repulsorlifts suspended several platforms among the peaks. The heart of the facility was the , a huge viewing station used to study the Abyss. The rotating oculus was powered by the same Koboh matter as the Forest Array. However, the larger grand oculus indicated that Republic scientists created the prototype for later designs focused on compactness and efficiency.

In 9 BBY, a battle occurred at the Observatory between the Bedlam Raiders and the Galactic Empire. During the battle, Jedi Knight Cal Kestis and Bode Akuna scaled the Observatory to confront the fallen Jedi Dagan Gera and retrieve the final navigational compass to allow them passage through the Abyss to the hidden world of Tanalorr. Kestis later defeated Gera, killing him and successfully obtaining the compass.
