What is a celestial and what [u]exactly[/u] destroyed the rakatan infinite empire
English
-
A Celestial is an incredibly powerful alien race, responsible for the creation of Centerpoint Station, cosmic turbines, the Maw, Correlia (and other systems too), and the Hyperspace Disturbances along the galaxy's edge. They also had the power to enslave the Killiks, and force the Sharu people into primitivism. Fun fact: the three force users on Mortis were Celestials, and were millions of years old. The other guy answered the Rakatan question.
-
Those Mortis episodes make so much more sense now...
-
Lol. Yeah, there are several books adding onto those three episodes, for no good reason.
-
What books?
-
Edited by GingerlyWalnut3: 8/27/2015 3:56:17 PMThe entire Fate of the Jedi series, though the last two or three books are more focused on Mortis and Abeloth. Try all the books written by Troy Dennings, including the stand alone book Crucible.
-
Isn't abeloth, their mother a celestial too? Or was she just a half immortal creepy blob?
-
She was actually a mortal being, Human I think, who bathed in the pool of knowledge and [something that made her immortal and gave her the force]. She's still equally powerful.
-
Oh yeah, I read about that a few months ago.
-
Correct!
-
-
Well the Rakatan destroyed themselves for the most part if that's what you're asking... They turned into a cannibalistic race of psychos who were corrupted by the dark side of the force.
-
Yes and no, you have almost all of their empires fall but there's still one thing your missing.
-
A disease specially targeted the rakata race
-
And did what to them exactly and why did it devastate them so much?
-
The rakata that weren't killed had their connection to the force severed this made the rakata unable to use most of their machines that were force powered. This greatly weakened them and the slaves United and overthrew the rakata.
-
You are correct!
-
I don't know what a celestial is though.
-
That's kind of the idea, there only in like one comic but there remnants are everywhere. They created the planet corellia and enslaved the rakatans and killiks. There practically precursors in halo.

Thx for the info.
