Gorax King's Heart
this was the Ewok name for the Din Nebula. According to Ewok legend, the ancient Gorax King went to war with the Ewoks' sun god, who eventually defeated the Gorax King and exiled him. The Gorax King refused to leave unless he brought with him his one prized possession, a diamond the size of an Ewok hut. When the sun god refused to allow this, the Gorax King swallowed the huge diamond. When the Gorax King finally died and and his body melted away, the diamond was all that was left behind. Astrophysicists and explorers found it unusual that this legend existed, because exploration of the Din Nebula revealed that the suprenova that created the Din Pulsar left behind a planet-sized diamond when it swept all the gases from a huge gas giant.
