Golden Globe

The Golden Globe was a massive device created by the Sith Lord Exar Kun during his reign over the Massassi on Yavin 4 in 3,997 BBY. It resembled a massive glowing sphere of golden light. The infamous Sith Lord used it to trap the souls of the children of the Massassi and to drain their energies to fuel his malevolent powers. The trapped souls were bound to the Golden Globe by Sith magic that could only be defeated by Force-sensitive children. The Golden Globe was kept within a sealed chamber in the Palace of the Woolamander.

Millenia later, centuries before the fall of the Galactic Republic, the Kushiban Jedi Master Ikrit discovered the Golden Globe during a trip to Yavin 4. Ikrit realised he was not able to free the imprisoned souls and placed himself in a Jedi trance to await the arrival of the one who would break the curse, even if it took centuries. Centuries later, in 22 ABY, Jedi trainees Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila discovered the Golden Globe and Ikrit. Ikrit then revealed his identity to the two young Jedi trainees and also informed them of the origins of the Golden Globe. He believed that the pair could succeed where he had failed long before.

Later, Anakin and Tahiri travelled to nearby Yavin 8 where they discovered carvings deep within the caves on the moon that informed them that Massassi children were imprisoned within the Golden Globe by Exar Kun. These captives were trapped in a limbo. It was where they learnt how to unlock the curse. The two Jedi then returned to the Palace of the Woolamander and then freed the trapped souls.
