Legend

this immense, crystalline structure was the source of power for the Infinite Gates created by the Kwa. Each Gate was guarded by its own Star Chamber, which protected the integrity of the Gate without constant maintenance. One of the largest Star Chambers was found on the planet Dathomir, guarding what appeared to be the master Gate. At its heart, the Star Chamber contained a spherical command module that provided the immense power it controlled. During the last decades of the Old Republic, the Witches of Dathomir discovered the Chamber and tried to get past it, in an effort to escape their captivity. Matriarch Zalem and her clan spent years learning everything they could about the star chamber, and nearly succeeded but for a fail-safe device built into the Chamber. It destroyed the Gate on the planet Ova, subsuming the entire planet and sucking in a nearby starship. The Star Chamber on Dathomir was guarded by a nest of Guardian worms.
