Yashuvhi The Yashuvhi were descendants of Humans who had attempted to settle the planet Yashuvhu in the millennia past . According to Chiss records , the Human population arrived a little more than three thousand years prior to its rediscovery by Luke Skywalker , though they may have arrived even earlier in history . The Human population lost contact with the rest of the galaxy and began to form their own culture and society , becoming self - sufficient . One such change was linguistically , in which the Yashuvhi language evolved . Upon their arrival , the crew of the Galactic Republic exploration vessel " Pathfinder III " discovered that the Yashuvhi language was a heavily evolved derivative of Galactic Basic Standard . During their first contact mission , the crew also discovered that the Yashuvhi were of sizable population but scattered across the planet . The Yashuvhi had a Force - based tradition which stemmed from the arrival of a Jedi millennia prior to their rediscovery . This Jedi , was believed to have been Human crashed onto the planet and became stranded . He settled within the Yashuvhi society and started a family . The Jedi wrote a " sacred scroll " with a few lines of the Jedi Code , which would be passed on to his descendants . The Jedi ' s family started a bloodline of Force Adept s who were talented , but untrained . One such descendant was Valara Saar , who would eventually become one of the planet ' s key spiritual leaders and protectors . Yashuvhu was rediscovered by the Republic in the years prior to the Clone Wars . The " Pathfinder III " landed on the planet on a first contact exploration mission . The Yashuvhi population flocked towards the crew , desiring to know if they were Jedi who had come to live among them . The first - contact specialists tried to teach the natives about the Jedi and learn about the people as well . Valara Saar convinced the crew of " Pathfinder III " to take her offworld with the hope of becoming a Jedi . Even though she learned some basic skills , she was not able to join the Order . She wandered the galaxy briefly , but ultimately resettled in the Yashaka Mountains . There , in a small isolated hut , she became a teacher of the Force to those on Yashuvhu and was known as the " Prophetess . " She was also responsible for protecting her planet from a threatening Chiss Ascendancy who had also discovered the world . Initially , Saar did not meet with the leaders of the Chiss advance landing party . When the Chiss tried to approach her residence in the mountains uninvited , they were forced away by her formidable techniques . The Chiss contact team fled in a hasty retreat . During the confrontation with the Chiss , she wielded what appeared to be a lightsaber . The entire event was documented by the Chiss after their retreat . By the broader galactic community , the planet was largely forgotten by the time of the Yuuzhan Vong War . Yashuvhu was later rediscovered by Jedi Master Luke Skywalker and a team of Jedi who were searching for Zonama Sekot in 28 ABY . During their search , the team of Jedi did research at the Chiss Expeditionary Library on Csilla . In the process of their research , the teachings of Valara Saar were discovered . Also included in the Cheunh text was how the Chiss had been expelled from the planet by the " Prophetess " known as Valara Saar .
