Legend

this mysterious, glowing orb was discovered by the Jedi Master Ikrit some 385 years before the Battle of Yavin. It measured some four meters in diameter, but seemed incredibly vast from the inside. Ikrit was unable to penetrate its force field, and the energy radiating from it told him that no adult Jedi would be able to, either. So, he curled himself up at the base of the sphere and guarded it until a young Jedi would appear to solve its riddle. This Jedi turned out to be two youngsters, Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila, who learned of its existence from an elderly Melodie on Yavin 8. They were able, with Ikrit's help, to determine that the Globe held the spirits of thousands of Massassi youths trapped by Exar Kun four millennia before. The Globe could only be opened by a youthful Jedi. Adult Jedi would destroy the Globe and kill the Massassi trapped inside. After puzzling over the Globe for many months, Anakin and Tahiri realized that they needed to reach deep within the Force and allow it to channel away all the energy of the Globe's outer shell. This would allow one of them to penetrate the Globe and lead the spirits outside. Together they worked to draw off the energy, then Anakin managed to enter the Globe. Inside, he found himself in a golden sandstorm that both blinded him and disoriented him. However, he was able to locate the Massassi spirits and, with Tahiri's guidance, lead them out of the Globe. As the last of the spirits escaped the Globe, it cracked into thousands of crystalline shards and shattered, spilling sand onto the floor of the Palace.
