Built from the shell of an ancient foundation, the Arx Colosseum has undergone renovations to allow multiple new configurations for battle. Its spectator setup remains largely the same, with high walls, tall enough for even the most savvy Jedi to find unscalable that lead up to spectator chairs which are divided into nearly organized sections to accommodate several thousand people. At the center, an elongated platform “box” contains a central throne of stone with various seats of smaller scale lined beside it in both directions. Two large holo-projection screens are set up on each side of the Colosseum, offering different angles of the match bia holocam drones.
Today’s setup is known as The Singularity.
The singularity, an artificial dark orb ringed in bending light, floats in the center of the arena. Dust from the arena floor whirls as it is drawn toward the orb, and the air of the combat area is constantly pulled inwards. Bits of metal, rocks, and other debris whip around the singularity, faster the closer they are to the orb of darkness. At random intervals the orb pulses with a bright light, blasting all its drawn into it back out into the arena with devastating force before starting the cycle over once again.
Seven circular platforms float and orbit around the singularity, the only safe sanctuary from the intense pull inwards, shielded from the gravitational pull. Between them, random bits of floating metal plates spin and twist as they too orbit, allowing for dangerous traversal between the only safe footing to be found in the arena. Those unfortunate enough to be drawn into the artificial singularity, won’t find the release of death from its crushing gravity. Instead, they are locked in place, spinning rapidly until the next “release” of bright light by the orb when they are finally thrown back into the arena.
