Infant of Shaa

"The instrument of our vengeance..."

- Ashaar Khorda

The Infant of Shaa was a statue carved by the ancient Seylotts to contain a large field of Force energy.

The Infant was a series of two statues built to honor Shaa, the Seylott primary deity. A larger version of the Infant, termed the Mother, was built to control the dimunitive statue. The statue was closely guarded by the Seylotts, who feared that if the power of the statue was unleashed, it could destroy an entire world, earning it the name "Destroyer of Worlds".

Shortly before the Clone Wars, General Ashaar Khorda employed Jango Fett to retrieve the statue. Khorda hoped to use the Infant's power to destroy, or from Asharr's piont of view euphanase Coruscant in the upcoming conflict. Fett succeeded in attaining the statue, but was convinced by his rival and contemporary Zam Wesell to re-steal the statue, this time from Khorda, to save the galactic capital. A last minute effort by Fett and Wesell saved the Infant from unleashing its power within a central Coruscant power core. Jedi Master Yarael Poof sacrificed himself to contain the fracturing statue and prevent the destruction of Coruscant, and Fett returned the statue to Seylott for safe keeping.
