The Gate of Ari is an Arquitens-class light cruiser currently in possession of Jack Starways. It once belonged to Ethan Travis and during his time with the Jedi, the ship was outfitted to serve as a makeshift mobile Jedi academy for the students, as well a vessel for pursuing missions of diplomacy and exploration for the Jedi Order. Its last location has been rumoured to be in the Dalchon system, where it has been dormant and mysteriously abandoned ever since the death of its former owner.
Complement
The Gate of Ari can accommodate many Jedi students, and contains vast arrays of exercise and sparring rooms to hone each student's concentration, form, and body. Workshops are provided for the study and understanding of technology as well as its maintenance, while meditation chambers give students and masters alike a place to contemplate the nature of the Force and further their mental discipline. The ship also has a medical wing that contains rooms to teach healing arts to young students, both for use in the aftermath of battle or accident and to aid the physically or mentally impaired.
The ship also contains its own extensive library with texts covering the myriad of Jedi teachings, advanced and theoretical science tomes, historical annals, literature from across the galaxy, and encyclopedias covering the galaxy's languages, art, and culture.
To alleviate the sense of confinement and banality that can be experienced while traveling for long durations in a spaceship, the Gate of Ari has wide corridors with high ceilings, while many rooms have holoprojector domes or viewports. The effect creates an environment very much like the Great Temple on Coruscant, rather than that of a simple starship. Lectures are often held within these rooms, open to the stars, serving as a reminder that members of the Jedi Order are obligated to serve the galaxy at large, rather than to pursue the selfish needs.
