The Attack on the Sacred Spire occurred in the ruins of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. On a mission to set up resistance cells on the broken capital city, the Jedi and their strike team were interrupted by the insane Lord Nyax, a bizarre cyborg capable of using the Force. Nyax, bent on releasing the full power of the Force nexus inside the sacred spire around which the Temple was constructed, erected a large machine capable of tearing through the skyscrapers surrounding the Temple Precinct. Using the Force to will civilians to help run the mighty machine, Nyax led the way through the Precinct's foundations to the Sacred Spire's base.
