A **Jen'uxa** was an object that contained a part of one's spirit — or was bound to it completely — in order to become seemingly immortal through use of the dark side of the Force. Originally invented by the ancient dark side entity known as the Dark One, the practice was later discovered by several Sith Lords during the Old Republic Era, though little information about them was known amongst the Sith, much less their Jedi foes.

One of the most notorious makers of a Jen'uxa was the ancient and powerful being known as the Sith Emperor, who maintained his immortality by draining Force energy from others and binding his spirit to both new host bodies — such as the Zakuulan warrior Valkorion — and hidden structures — such as his temple on the fourth moon of Yavin. Similarly, the Sith Lord Darth Nihilus was able to prevent his death by binding his spirit to his robes and mask, allowing him to retain a physical form. The Sith Lord Darth Traya also crafted a Jen'uxa using her own Sith holocron, though the fragment of her spirit it held was likely destroyed with the holocron's own destruction in 2 BBY.

During the Imperial Era, an unknown malevolent entity crafted a jen'uxa out of a cane and used it to corrupt Jedi Master T'ra Saa, turning her into a violent and beastly entity known as the Weeping Tree. However, Jedi Masters Jarik Shan and Ahsoka Tano, and former Jedi Codi Ty, would confront the Weeping Tree and destroyed the jen'uxa, freeing T'ra from her enthrallment.
