B'omarr Order/Legends

The B’omarr Monks, are a mysterious religious order that moved to the planet Tatooine many centuries before the Battle of Yavin. They believed that cutting themselves off from all civilization, and distraction was essential to their enlightenment. They built a cavernous monastery on the edge of the Dune Sea, and spent the quiet centuries in meditation.

Many people have co-habituated the Monastery with them, adding to his monstrous halls where they could, and moving on. Most notably the bandit Alkhara, and Jabba the Hutt.

The monks are a very quite people, consisting of many races, and species. Their minimalist views have been reduced such that they can go for months, without saying a word to one another. Discourses, and lectures are whitled down to a single word that the monks must meditate on. At a certain point in the monks development, the lesser monks of the order assist him with a ‘shedding’ surgery. They body is seen as just another distraction, so it is discarded. The monks brain is inserted into a nutrient jar, and placed on a shelf, where he can while away the millennia in contemplation. On the off chance that an enlightened monk has some business to attend to, he uses his mind to summon a mechanical spider-like apparatus, which picks up his jar, and secures it so he can become mobile. If an enlightened monk is encountered walking the halls of the monastery, his is given a generous breadth, and often is bowed to.
