Legend

this was the name of the construct used by the ancient Kathol to store their life energies, during the struggle bewteen the ancient Jedi Knights and the Dark Jedi who had enslaved the Kathol. The Kathol chose to store their energy in the Lifewell in order to survive the growing conflict, setting a bio-engineered construct (which later became known as DarkStryder) to guard the Lifewell. The Lifewell itself was essentially a huge, glowing, crystalline organ that pulsed with the life-energies of the ancient Kathol. The crystal's tip emerged in a secret chamber within DarkStryder's fortress, but extended for several kilometers straight down into the planet's mantle. The chamber which housed it was formed from huge bones, and was filled with organic, tactile control systems. Unfortunately for the majority of the Kathol, only a handful managed to enter the Lifewell before the destruction of their launch gates. The construct, which became known as DarkStryder, was designed to protect the Lifewell until the danger had passed. However, its own self-awareness kept it from releasing the Kathol. Over time, the Kathol were unable to break free of the Lifewell. Their life energies, however, evolved into the Ta-Ree. During the Battle of Kathol, the Lifewell was opened by Halbret, who had been awakened by the crew of the FarStar.
