Xi Char/Legends

Xi Char was a fanatic polytheistic religious order of the Xi Charrians that devoted itself to high-precision manufacturing. To that end, they founded the Haor Chall Engineering company. They were led by a Prelate. They thought that all life was a shadow of the paradise of the afterlife, believing that creating machines was a way to glimpse the afterlife.

Hard work was the same as prayer to them; when a member of the faith became injured, he voluntarily exiled himself so that no others would witness his imperfection. Xi Char factories doubled as religious cathedrals. Their motto was "The deity is in the details."

In 45 BBY, Raith Sienar infiltrated the Xi Char, stealing valuable information from them while posing as a convert to the order. When he was exposed for what he truly was, the Xi Char twice attempted to assassinate him, their second attempt in 38 BBY resulting in the death of his father, Narro. Because of his actions, the Xi Char refused to take any more Human apprentices, fearing betrayal.

In 19 BBY, the Xi Char assisted two Jedi Knights, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, in tracking down the Sith Lord Darth Sidious by pointing them to one of their number who had helped construct Nute Gunray's mechno-chair.
