The Jedi Order's pretense of purity and unwavering adherence to the Light Side is for many, a façade, as history has shown us through numerous Jedi falling to the Dark Side. It is well known that the Jedi's harsh response to such transgressions, with stricter doctrines and the shunning of all emotion, only further reveals their fear and weakness that ended in their demise. The revelation about the planet Splinter and the Dawn Temple which we will explore today is intriguing and aligns with the Jedi's deceptive nature. The existence of this secret rehabilitation center is a curious discovery. The Jedi, in their arrogance, believed they could 'cure' those who had tasted the power of the Dark Side. And as we shall explore, such a facility and the dark techniques used, suggests a level of control and manipulation that contradicts the Jedi's public image of benevolence and freedom.

The mysteries of the Dawn Temple on the secluded world of Splinter are a tale shrouded in secrecy, far from the prying eyes of the galaxy. As we delve into this holocron, let us unravel the truths that the Jedi Order sought to hide.

The choice of Splinter for such an outpost is indeed telling. A remote planet in the Spadsha sector of the Outer Rim, chosen for its tranquility and isolation, is a perfect reflection of the Jedi's desire to conceal the truth of their own vulnerability to the Dark Side. They sought a sanctuary, a place where their faltering members could be secluded, away from the judgmental eyes of the galaxy. This 'spiritual retreat' was nothing but a façade to maintain their illusion of unwavering commitment to the Light Side.

Originally a modest outpost, the Dawn Temple evolved into something far more significant. As the Republic began to crumble and the Jedi faced mounting pressures, more of their number teetered on the brink of the Dark Side. The High Council, in their desperation to control this growing crisis, constructed the Dawn Temple not just as a meditative retreat but as a rehabilitation center. This evolution marks a significant shift in the Jedi's approach to the Dark Side, from denial to reluctant acknowledgment.

The management of the Dawn Temple was tasked to a trio of Gatekeepers - the Curator, the Warden, and the Jailer. The Curator, described as an elderly Syrian managing records and logistics, presents an image of benign administration, yet his role was integral to maintaining the functionality of this secretive facility. The presence of the Curator, managing the temple's day-to-day operations, signifies a methodical and organized approach to this concealment. His role, though seemingly mundane, was crucial in sustaining the Temple's operations and, by extension, the Jedi councils darker practices and concealment from the rest of the Order.

Next was the Warden, a zabrack of golden light embodying the role of defense and security within the Dawn Temple. The Warden's primary concern with the physical security of the Dawn Temple and its inhabitants, rather than the philosophical or spiritual aspects of the Force. Her focus on defense, preparedness, and combat readiness, even within a facility purportedly dedicated to healing and rehabilitation, speaks to the underlying reality of the Jedi Order's operations. It acknowledges the existence of threats, both external and internal, that the Jedi must contend with.

The Jailer, as the third and final Gatekeeper of the Dawn Temple, presents a fascinating paradox within the Jedi Order's secretive facility. Despite his ominous title, the Jailer embodies a more compassionate and rehabilitative aspect of the Jedi's approach to those who have strayed from the Light Side.
His form as a short, elderly Miraluka male made of pure white light symbolizes wisdom, experience, and perhaps a sense of purity or redemption. The Miraluka, a species known for their Force sensitivity and lack of physical sight, further emphasize the Jailer's connection to the Force and his insight beyond mere physical appearances.
