History
Edit
- "What makes you think you can find the Ordu Aspectu now?"
"It's all about the coordinates and the Massassi." - ―Chelli Lona Aphra and her father
The Massassi, who were once enslaved by the Sith, built the Great Temple in the jungles of Yavin 4[2] five thousand years before the Battle of Yavin.[1] By the time of the Galactic Civil War, the Massassi race was extinct.[2] The Massassi had a connection with the Ordu Aspectu, an ancient Jedi heresy.[3]
After their extinction, the Massassi were mentioned in a travel advertisement written by a Special Galaxy Reporter who had investigated the Great Temple ruins after the Alliance to Restore the Republic abandoned the jungle moon.[1]
