Pol Secura had used the financial rewards of glitteryll to ensure his position of power, but he also realized that the death of any member of the Head Clan would mean his own death. Pol arranged for both Jedi to have their memories' erased, then dumped on separate planets, in order to curtail their investigation. Unfortunately, Quinlan managed to survive his exile to Nar Shaddaa and returned to Ryloth to continue the investigation. When Asante' Vos nearly killed Quinlan in the ryll caves, she revealed that it had been herself and Pol Secura who fed Quinlan and Aayla an overdose of glitteryll to erase their memories. Their plan had been to do away with the Jedi without killing them, thereby clearing the way to continue production of glitteryll. After Asante's death, Quinlan sought out Pol to confront him about Aayla's whereabouts. Pol admitted that Aayla was a member of his own harem, where he could keep an eye on her.

Polis Massa
this remote, Outer Rim world was once the homeworld of the Eellayin race. However, the planet suffered an unknown cataclysm many millennia before the Clone Wars. As a result, Polis Massa was torn apart, leaving several large planetoids and an asteroid field as a reminder of the planet's existence. The Eellayin civilization was destroyed in the event. During the final decades of the Old Republic, a group of beings from the Subterrel Sector of the galaxy established an archaeological preserve in the asteroid field, hoping to learn more about the planet and its inhabitants. These beings eventually established the Local Dig settlement on the largest fragment of the planet, known simply as Polis Massa, and came to call themselves Polis Massans. During the last years of the Old Republic, the outpost on Polis Massa was nomimally loyal to the Republic and the Jedi Order, and it was here that Bail Organa and Yoda fled after Emperor Palpatine issued Order Sixty-Six. They made contact with Obi-Wan Kenobi, who brought the dying Padme' Amidala Skywalker to Polis Massa from Mustafar. The Polis Massan medics did their best, but were unable to stop Padme' from dying, seemingly from a broken heart. The Polis Massans and their medical droids were able to save the children Padme' had been carrying, which were turned over to Obi-Wan and Yoda. However, information on Polis Massa was discovered by Inquisitor Malorum, who would have turned it over to Darth Vader himself if Obi-Wan and Ferus Olin hadn't intercepted it. (OWS, VD3, LJ1, SWDB)

Polis Massan
although not native to the former planet of Polis Massa, this race of diminutive, humanoid beings spent so much time doing archaeological work in the surrounding asteroid belt that they came to believe themselves to be the descendants of the Eellayin - the true Polis Massans. The average modern Polis Massan had a short, thin body that gave them the appearance of being children. The most unique feature of a modern Polis Massan was its face, which lacked a nose and mouth. Only a pair of tiny, deep-focus eyes broke the monotony of the pale, osmotic membrane that served as a face. Although modern Polis Massans were capable of a form of speech, they preferred to use a limited form of telepathy to communicate with each other. Each of the modern Polis Massan's two hands had three fingers and an opposable thumb. Like the Eellayin, the genetic stock of the modern Polis Massan people could be traced to a planet in the Subterrel Sector of the galaxy. In an effort to assist with learning more about the former inhabitants of Polis Massa, the modern Polis Massans traveled to Kamino to learn about cloning techniques. These techniques were brought back to the Local Dig settlement, where the Polis Massans recreated ancient lifeforms from any scrap of genetic material they discovered. (OWS, VD3, SWDB)
