An arxeum was a mobile university that was dedicated to the advancement of military sciences. Arxeums were produced during the Republic Dark Age by Industrial Heuristics—a corporation controlled by the Quermian Sith Lord Ayanos Bactra—and were used to develop new forms of combat-related technology. In 1032 BBY, Bactra agreed to provide an arxeum to the Sith Lord Daiman, and Daiman used the university as bait to lure the forces of his brother Odion into an ambush on the planet Gazzari. Daiman's arxeum was subsequently destroyed during the battle by an Odionite Death Spiral attack vehicle.
