- "Even life-forms without midi-chlorians and cellular structures, such as the fractal urchins of Protogeyser, can touch its energy."
- ―An excerpt from The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force by Jedi biologist Bowspritz, discussing the ability of animals to touch the Force
Protogeyser was an astronomical object[2] located in the Inner Rim's Protogeyser system.[1] Known to the wider galaxy by the Ruusan Reformation of 1000 BBY, the fractal urchins, a non-sentient species that lacked cellular structures and thus midi-chlorians,[2] life-forms that lived symbiotically inside cells and allowed their symbiont to detect the Force,[3] originated from Protogeyser. This distinction earned the fractal urchins, along with Protogeyser, a mention in the "Galactic Bestiary" section of the Jedi trainee guidebook The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force, where the Jedi biologist Bowspritz used the species as an example of animals that were connected to the Force despite their lack of midi-chlorians.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Created by author Daniel Wallace, Protogeyser was first mentioned in the 2010 reference book The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force.[2] In 2012, the Online Appendix of The Essential Atlas at StarWars.com placed the Protogeyser system, and therefore Protogeyser itself, in grid square K-8.[1]
