Veeshas Tuwan was the library built in 3,347 BTC, on the planet of Arkania. It was one of the largest libraries in the entire galaxy, bigger even than the Jedi Library of Ossus, which was established several centuries prior.

History:

After the arrival of the Dark Jedi on Korriban, the fledgling Sith Empire expanded from Korriban and Ziost, colonizing or conquering many words, such as the Arkanian homeworld of Arkania, which was conquered somewhere before 3,247 BTC. Deciding that a grand library need be built to rival the Great Library of Ossus maintained by the Jedi Order, the Sith selected the frozen world of Arkania, home to a race with a reputation for reclusive scientists and genetic engineers, the Empire named their storehouse Veeshas Tuwan and filled its shelves with arcane magic and tools of the Dark Side of the Force. For hundreds of years, Veeshas Tuwan was a nexus of the Dark Side, as Sith Lords from all over the Sith Empire travelled there to build upon the knowledge there and practice their dark arts in hidden chambers. The library grew so large over the centuries that nobody was able to find what they were looking for.

Unfortunately, all things must come to an end, and around two thousand years after its construction, Veeshas Tuwan met its end at the conclusion of the Great Hyperspace War, when Lord Naga Sadow was defeated by the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic. Following Sadow’s death, the Jedi High Council discovered the library’s location and dispatched a team of Jedi Masters to seek out the library and destroy any relics which could assist in the rebuilding of the Sith Empire. Arriving at Veeshas Tuwan, the Jedi looted the building and confiscated many historical texts before destroying ancient weapons and artefacts. With the library's collection in ruins, the Jedi burned the complex to the ground and left nothing but smouldering ruins.

At 0 BTC, Darth Malgus - leading the attack on the Jedi Temple during the Sacking of Coruscant - recovered many artefacts stolen from Veeshas Tuwan. Many, but not all artefacts, as some had been destroyed in the initial razing of the library, and others were simply… gone. I myself theorize that the Jedi stored those few artefacts away at other locations, possibly on other planets.

Architecture:

Even now, more than three thousand years later, the ruins of Veeshas Tuwan make for an impressive sight. Built in the same style as the Sith Citadel of House Aeros on Ziost or the many tombs that decorate the Valley of the Dark Lords on Korriban, the Great Library of Veeshas Tuwan is one of the most beautiful ruined locations in the entire galaxy.

Conclusion:

I intend to reclaim all of the lost knowledge of Veeshas Tuwan, even if that means razing the entire Galactic Republic and sacking the Jedi Temple on Tython, because Knowledge is Power.
