Summary
- The Inquisitors, Imperial Jedi hunters, were forced off Coruscant due to causing too much trouble and attracting attention from the public.
- Their base, the Fortress Inquisitorius, was located on the moon Nur within the Mustafar system, hidden to maintain the Empire's facade of peace.
- Darth Vader moved the Inquisitors to the Mustafar system to keep a closer watch on them and avoid having to travel to Coruscant for training, allowing their questionable tactics to be kept secret.
One of Star Wars’ most threatening groups is the Imperial Jedi hunters called the Inquisitors, and new information reveals why they were forced off Coruscant. In canon, the Inquisitors first appeared in Star Wars Rebels, where the Grand Inquisitor operated as the main antagonist in the show’s first season. As the Star Wars galaxy has expanded, more and more Inquisitors have been introduced, with some even getting their own Jedi origins.
As seen in the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ show, the Inquisitors’ base was within the Mustafar system on a moon called Nur. Their base was called the Fortress Inquisitorius and was hidden from the public to keep up the Empire’s façade of peace. The Empire would bring surviving Jedi there to torture and interrogate them, but they would also keep the lightsabers of fallen Jedi on display, as well as a hall of preserved Jedi corpses. While this base was a smart idea in the long run for the Empire, their initial home on the Imperial capital of Coruscant created many problems for the Emperor and his new Empire.
