The High Council holomap room was located within within the High Council Tower of the Jedi Temple on the planet Coruscant. The room's interior housed a large holo-map of the galaxy that indicated galaxy-wide hotspots, including disturbances in the Force and areas of unusual Force concentration. The exterior of the room was surrounded by the Contemplation Stations, where high-ranking Jedi were briefed on missions.

Description

The room was located on the penultimate level of the Jedi Temple's High Council Tower, immediately below the High Council Chamber. It featured an interior balcony decorated with flower motif mosaics, overlooking a large pit which housed a large holo-map of the galaxy. A small amphitheater allowed a closer view to different areas of the holo-map and an external staircase led to the lower levels where the holoprojector array was located.[1]

Holo-map

The holomap was used by the Jedi Order to locate disturbances in the Force and areas of unusual Force concentration; as such, it had to be constantly updated based on new information collected in real-time from around the galaxy. To achieve that, it worked in tandem with five powerful antennae on the top of the High Council tower which received data at different frequencies and sent it to a multi-feed receiver assembly to be fed into the holomap. The receiver, mounted under the floor of the High Council chamber converted the raw data from the antenna into holodata, allowing the holoprojector unit to update the the map whenever new info was discovered.[1]

To further assist the Jedi in precisely locating hotspots, a series of receiver vanes built into the holomap room walls were configured to convert signals from hyperspace into realspace coordinates. Six signal eradicators connected to the vanes scrambled enemy attempts to exploit the system to pinpoint the location of Jedi in the field by locking on to their communications with the Temple.[1]
