The Praetor Council took Fenix and Artanis there as younglings. Both ignited their first psionic blades there. After the Kalath Intercession, Aldera's Judicator suggested Praetor Fenix leave when hostilities broke out between the Templar and the population of Aiur. Fenix refused, and was fired upon by his fellow templar. It was destroyed in the zerg invasion. Fenix vowed to build a better version on top of it.
