Legend

this X'Ting warrior was the last of five brothers to try and penetrate the security systems that hid the royal eggs of his race, during the height of the Clone Wars. All five had researched the security systems extensively, and had mapped out all possible pathways to the chamber containing the eggs. However, the first four of his hive-brothers had perished trying to reach the eggs, which were believed to be the only hope for the X'Ting race. Jesson, whose clan lived in the Di Blinths volcano, was an experienced warrior, as evidenced by the numerous scars on both sets of arms and by the three-part staff he used as a weapon. During the height of the Clone Wars, when Obi-Wan Kenobi was dispatched to Ord Cestus to determine the X'Ting's situation, Jesson was paired with the Jedi Master on a desparate mission to obtain the royal eggs. Jesson revealed to Obi-Wan that he hated the offworlders who controlled his homeworld, and that he would grudgingly accept Obi-Wan help. Obi-Wan seemed to accept this, and as the pair battled through the security systems, Jesson gained a new form of respect for the Jedi. Each saved the other's life many times before they reached the main chamber, where Jesson was forced to answer three questions. Each seemed remarkably simple to answer, but the computer system kept indicating that he had answered wrongly. Fearful of losing his life, Jesson pressed on, finally answering all three questions without receiving credit for a correct answer. As he accepted his fate, Jesson and Obi-Wan realized that the system was meant to test the smells exuded by the X'Ting who answered the questions, to be sure that they were in the chamber with the purest of intentions. Only an X'Ting who answered truthfully, and accepted his death despite this seeming incongruity, would be allowed access to the eggs. Jesson was relieved to find that he had passed the test, and the pair managed to return safely to the council with the eggs in their possession.
