Background: The Spire, also known as the Stygeon Prison, was a secret, remote prison fortress built into the mountains of the planet Stygeon Prime. Its builder and early history were shrouded in mystery, and it was constructed with similarly thick transparisteel. It was secretly used during the Clone Wars by the Confederacy of Independent Systems before being used by the Galactic Empire and its Inquisitorius during the Imperial Era.
During the Clone Wars, the prison was secretly operated by the Confederacy. It was where Sith Lords Darth Sidious and Darth Tyranus held the renegade Sith Lord Maul in prison before he escaped with the help of Death Watch.
Years later, the prison was run by the Galactic Empire, which protected it with ray shields, blast-proof structures, anti-aircraft weapons, TIE fighters, and stormtroopers. The rebellious crew of the Ghost learned that the Inquisitors were holding Jedi Master Luminara Unduli and attempted to save her. During the attempt, former Padawan Kanan Jarrus encountered the Grand Inquisitor.
