Legend

this entity was little more than a huge, disembodied brain that was kept alive by advanced technology on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. K'vin believed that it was the center of a devoted religion, the Most Perfect Order of K'vin, of which the B'omarr monks were merely a splinter sect. Like the B'omarr monks, K'vin and his followers believed that severing the brain from the rest of the body allowed the brain to contemplate the universe well beyond the lifespan of the flesh. K'vin, however, demanded more. When Eron Stonefield entered his fortress during her search for Han Solo, K'vin demanded that she shoot his vat, thereby freeing him to expand his knowledge of the universe. The other monks, many of them attached to spider droid bodies, tried to stop Stonefield. She ended up shooting K'vin's vat before she fled into the desert, and his brain soon died, although this was the enlightenment that K'vin had been seeking all along.
