Oubliette ( stasis casket ) An oubliette was a type of stasis casket that was used by the Sith . Oubliettes had an ability to keep those inside them alive for thousands of years . History . The Sith Lord Remulus Dreypa created an oubliette in order to imprison and torture his rival Karness Muur , and to contain the hypnotic influence of the Muur Talisman . In 3963 BBY , this oubliette came into the possession of Mandalorian researcher Pulsipher , who transported it to his laboratories on the ice world of Jebble . During the Rakghoul plague , Pulsipher threatened to inter Zayne Carrick in the Oubliette in order to coerce him into revealing the powers of the Muur Talisman . After Pulsipher ' s death , Zayne Carrick suggested that Celeste Morne could be imprisoned in the Oubliette until the Jedi Covenant determined some means to nullify the Talisman ' s interference with her mind . When the walls of the Oubliette cut off the Talisman ' s contact with the outside world , the Rakghoul s were freed from Morne ' s control and turned upon each other . Even as Carrick and his allies fled Jebble in the " Moomo Williwaw " , Cassus Fett arrived at Jebble with a Mandalorian fleet . ( Carrick had previously alerted Fett to the danger of the Talisman via a transmitter on Jebble . ) Over Carrick ' s desperate pleas , Fett bombarded Jebble with nuclear missiles . Carrick and company were forced to assume that Celeste Morne had perished , and they departed for Odryn . Unbeknownst to the Jedi or the Mandalorians , the Oubliette had , in fact , survived intact . It settled to the bottom of Jebble ' s newly - melted seas . Several years later , in 3956 BBY , Darth Glovoc carried an oubliette aboard his flagship , the " Dying Sun " , when he traveled in it to the Luire system , to investigate the planet Nyriaan . However , the " Dying Sun " was attacked and crashed onto the world , leaving Glovoc and his surviving crew members stranded there . Through the use of his oubliette , the Dark Lord placed himself into suspended animation . Initially , Glovoc would limit these slumbers to around one hundred years , awaking briefly to gauge the progress of his people before returning to the oubliette . While in perpetual stasis , his depraved followers began to idolize him as a sleeping god , labeling him " the Dying Sun " . To show their devotion , Glovoc ' s followers would often sacrifice inhabitants of the planet at the feet of his oubliette . Roughly fourteen hundred years before the Battle of Yavin — nearly three thousand years after its submersion in the seas of Jebble — Dreypa ' s Oubliette was discovered by ice miners . Although the miners were unable to open the casket or even ascertain its contents , they assumed that such a well - protected treasure must be extremely valuable . One miner killed his companions and stole the artifact for himself . Over the following centuries , the Oubliette changed ownership many times and became known to Galactic antique dealers as the Jebble Box . According to legend , the Box contained a secret treasure of the Jedi Order . As a result , the Oubliette was generally sold quickly and furtively , lest the Jedi interfere with the transactions in their quest to reclaim their valuables . The mystery of the Box ' s contents increased its price during each successive purchase . Several years before Palpatine ' s declaration of the Galactic Empire , the Chubbit s of Aridus fought a war for possession of the Jebble Box . In 19 BBY , the crew of the " Uhumele " located the Jebble Box on a battlefield on Aridus . Ishi Tib crime lord Haka Hai agreed to Captain Schurk - Heren ' s requested price for the Jebble Box . Before departing to Mimban for the sale , Heren took the precaution of secreting the Box in the ice rings of a gas planet . As Heren had expected , Hai attempted to steal the Box without paying . The result was a three - ways firefight between Hai ' s enforcers , the crew of the " Uhumele " , and Lumbra , a traitor within Hai ' s own organization . Lumbra ultimately acquired the Jebble Box , only to discover that it was , in fact , a counterfeit containing an armed bomb . The explosion of the bomb killed Lumbra ' s ally Gamy and crippled his vessel . After escaping the prisons of Haka Hai , Schurk - Heren located another , more reputable buyer : historian Fane Peturri . Although Heren was confident that Peturri had no criminal ties , the scholar betrayed the crew of the " Uhumele " to Darth Vader . Peturri analyzed the Jebble Box and located a recording made by Marn Hierogryph some four thousand years earlier . Unable to corroborate Hierogryph ' s reference to " Lord Dreypa ' s Oubliette " with any contemporary archaeological sources , Peturri concluded that the Box was a pre - Republic artifact . Peturri remained skeptical of the Oubliette ' s ability to preserve life for thousands of years , but despite his request to study the casket further , Vader opened it — revealing a perfectly healthy Celeste Morne . Upon Celeste ' s revival she and Vader engaged in a duel in which Celeste gained the upper hand when she gave into the power of the Muur Talisman and transformed the surrounding Humans into Rakghouls . After Vader retreated she ordered the Rakghouls to destroy the Oubliette . In 137 ABY , the Sith Lord Darth Vurik attempted to locate the sleeping Darth Glovoc and the oubliette in which he was contained . However , while Vurik was being distracted by a group of Jedi , Glovoc ' s Sith followers moved the casket to a hidden location .
