The '''Black Archives''' was an Imperial facility located within the black hole cluster known as '''[[The Maw]]'''.

Constructed on an asteroid (or possibly a planetary fragment) at a stable point within the Maw's gravitational field, the Black Archives were used to catalogue and store various artefacts that were deemed to be inherently dangerous, or dangerous to Imperial security and secrecy. This included samples of dangerous pathogens and experimental bio-weapons; abandoned prototypes from research into weapons, speeders, androids, and cybernetics; and even former test subjects from research into cloning and bio-engineering.

The Archives included a handful of starfighter and starcraft prototypes, but few enough for Archive personnel to speculate there might be an alternate site for such technologies, which they nicknamed the "Black Yards".

For many years, the custodian and caretaker of the Black Archives was [[Lúka Jibral]], an Inquisitor. Despite this, the Archives contained classified materials from not only the [[Inquisitorius]], but also [[Imperial Intelligence]], the [[Imperial Security Bureau]], and the [[Imperial Department of Military Research]].

== '''History''' ==
The Archives were established shortly after the [[Galactic Empire]] was established, to secure and contain various weapons and espionage prototypes that had been developed during the [[Clone Wars]]. This included [[STE-IV]], a reprogrammed and modified Super Tactical Droid that had been developed to infiltrate the Separatist Droid Army. Items relating to a number of individuals captured and killed during the Jedi Purge - including artefacts and DNA samples - were also archived at the facility.

In [[5 BBY]], Inquisitors and ISB Agents began to increasingly encounter suspected Jedi operating in and around the [[Lothal Sector]]. Gene samples from the Black Archives were used to create a number of prototype clone templates, to be investigated as a possible countermeasure. Five templates were created initially, with an additional three added after [[0 ABY]] to to eliminate flaws in the earlier templates. The eight clones were named after the final letters of the Aurebesh alphabet: [[Delgado Xaanan|Cherek]], [[Lúka Jibral|Enth]], [[Chir'daki|Onith]], Krenth, [[Nen Lev'i|Nen]], [[Orenth]], [[Shen]], and [[Thesh]].

Prior to [[8 ABY]], the bounty hunter [[Hugo Montegue]] was captured by [[Imperial Intelligence]]. He became a test subject at the Black Archives, at first reprogrammed to assist in efforts to capture specimens of the [[Lupine]] species, and then later as a testbed for various genetic and cybernetic enhancements. <small>([http://theholo.net/forum/showthread.php?19187-Our-Father-Who-Art-In-Prison-Hugo-Be-Thy-Name "Our Father..."])</small>

After [[The Treaty]] of [[10 ABY]], revisions to galactic cartography placed [[Kessel]] and the Maw far outside the new borders of the Galactic Empire. The facility was decommissioned, with artefacts from the Archives being relocated to a classified new location. Shortly before the site was abandoned, it was attacked by the bounty hunter [[Chir'daki]] and his associates, who triggered a reactor explosion, destroying the facility and it's host asteroid. <small>([http://theholo.net/forum/showthread.php?56121-Vengeance "Vengeance"])</small>

Some artefacts from the Archives were intercepted by third parties. One item, the [[Shard]] test subject [[Lazuli]], was later recovered by Lúka Jibral. <small>([http://theholo.net/forum/showthread.php?57384-A-Lesson-in-Trust "A Lesson in Trust"])</small>

== '''Appendices''' ==
<small>''The Black Archives are a Star Wars proxy for Area 51, as it is often depicted in popular culture. It ties extensively into the background of many characters, including:''
