The Temple of Sacrifice, located on the moon Yavin 4, was a Sith temple. It housed a Sith artifact with the power to devour all life on the moon. When the Sith Emperor discovered the artifact, he made Yavin 4 his last refuge. His plan was to use the artifact to revive himself if he was ever near death. During the Galactic War, the Order of Revan attacked Yavin 4, eliminating the Imperial Guardsmen guarding the artifact. Revan then tried to use the artifact to give the spectral Emperor a physical body again so he could kill him. In response to this scheme, an alliance of Imperial and Republic troops was created. Subsequently, the Temple was raided, and the artifact was obliterated.
