Legend

this tiny statue was carved by the Seylotts as a way to contain large amounts of Force energy. Shaa was the primary deity of the Seylotts, and was often referred to as the Mother. The Seylotts carved a larger statue of Shaa to control the Infant and its power. Among the Seylotts, the Infant was known as the Destroyer of Worlds, for when its Force energy was released, it was believed that the resulting explosion could tear an entire planet apart. Shortly before the Clone Wars, the Infant was recovered by Jango Fett, who was under the employment of General Ashaar Khorda. Khorda desired the Infant for its power, and hoped to destroy Coruscant with it. Jango was convinced by his rival, Zam Wesell, to retrieve the Infant from Khorda's possession, in order to prevent the destruction of Coruscant. General Khorda nearly succeeded in unleashing the power of the Infant in a Coruscant power center, but Zam Wesell's ability to change her shape allowed her to grab the falling Infant before it could smash into the power core. The Jedi Master, Yarael Poof, then died trying to keep the Infant from exploding. The bounty hunters later returned the statue to Seylott.
