Infinity Gate

The Infinity Gates was a series of ancient structures scattered across the galaxy with the one of Dathomir being the Prime Gate. They were constructed by the extragalactic Kwa, an ancient saurian race which settled on Dathomir long before the formation of the Old Republic. The Kwa used the Infinity Gate as weapons and as a means of interstellar travel.

These Gates were covered by massive pyramid-shaped structures known as the Star Temples. The Star Temples and its associated buildings protected them from intruders. If the gate was ever activated, the planet housing the equipment could be collapsed into the Gate itself, along with the surrounding planets, moons and even stars. As the species began to wane in power across the galaxy, the Kwa sealed the Infinity Gate and the Star Temples and set guardians to protect the Temples - whuffa worms with thick hides and an impressive turn of speed. After their mysterious fall from power, the Kwa settled on Dathomir regressed into the ainmal-like Kwi.

In 31 BBY, the Nightsisters succeeded in capturing the Infinity Gate and slaughtered many Kwi. The Nightsisters had intended to access the secrets of the Infinity Gate and use it to destroy Coruscant. However, their plot was thwarted by the Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos, who, using his role as Temple Guardian, redirected the deadly wave aimed at Coruscant back at the Infinity Gate. Only the scattered ruins of the Infinity Gate and the Star Temple were left. The Kwi also disappeared into the deserts.

In 12 ABY, Sigit Ranth investigated the Infinity Gate for the Imperial Remnant, but finding no remains of the control chamber abandoned the project, while the Remnant instead concentrated on recruiting Nightsisters as part of Project Nightsaber.
