[edit] History

The treasure display on Scardia Station.

During the Battle of Ryloth, the Skakoan Emir Wat Tambor raided the vaults of the Twi'leks, and had many priceless artifacts loaded onboard his personal shuttle. The Ark was one of them and was taken away by the Tactical droid TA-175, even as he left Tambor behind.[1] Decades later, after the death of Emperor Palpatine, the ark, or a similar artifact, was housed in a display case on the Scardia Station.[2]

[edit] Behind the scenes

The Biblical Ark of the Covenant was a sacred object which contained the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. The Ark was the focus of the first Indiana Jones movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, which was also produced by George Lucas.
