Legend

this was the Tarasinese word used to describe one of the most solemn and powerful of all the Tarasin rites. By invoking the shorda'ki, the Tarasin expended a great deal of strength - both physcial and mental - to ensure the very survival of their species. History only recorded two invocations of the shorda'ki, once during the wars that nearly destroyed the ancient Tarasin, and another during the height of the Clone Wars. This latter invocation was performed in preparation for the tarana-te'sath, which the Tarasin believed was about to occur after discussions with a strange Human Jedi Knight. This Jedi agreed to help train the younger generation of Tarasin to connect with the Force, but this required that the elders begin to relinquish their power in order to concentrate the Force among the young.
