The
Jedi Temple Archives contained possibly the single largest source of information in the galaxy. Within the polished architecture of the Temple, incredible amounts of data were stored electronically and holographically. Jedi scholars and investigators used the carefully organized data to aid in their studies or their missions. Lining the main hall were bronze busts of some of the most revered and accomplished
Jedi Masters, both living and dead.
When Obi-Wan Kenobi was seeking out information about the planet Kamino, he turned to the Jedi Archives. Echoing a similar experience he had with the analysis droids in the Jedi Temple, the Archives were of disturbingly little help. They contained no record of the planet Kamino. The caretaker of the records, Madame Jocasta Nu, proclaimed the Archives complete and secure, and instead faulted Kenobi for chasing a phantom planet.
Further investigation proved to Obi-Wan that the planet did indeed exist. Sensor data of the surrounding space showed the gravitational influence of the system, even though the system itself was missing. It was evident that the Archives were tampered with, something that could only have been accomplished by a Jedi.
