Mortis was a planet enclosed in a monolith located in the remote Chrelythiumn system that was a conduit for the entire Force of the universe. Mortis became home to the Ones, a family of powerful Force users, years prior to the Clone Wars. Time was experienced differently inside the Mortis monolith than in the rest of the galaxy—standard days experienced on Mortis by Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano were only "a moment" experienced in normal space by Captain Rex.

HistoryEdit

Approximately 24,500 BBY, the Darksider Xendor journeyed to Mortis and met the Ones. However, he believed their claims on the nature of the Force had no more or less legitimacy than the teachings of any other Force group.^[3]

During the Clone Wars, the aging Father drew Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker to Mortis so that Skywalker could replace him as the keeper of the peace between his rival children, the Son and Daughter, who represented the dark and light sides of the Force, respectively. Skywalker arrived on Mortis with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padawan Ahsoka Tano, but the Son separated Skywalker from his companions and took Tano hostage and forcibly turned her to the dark side in an attempt to turn Skywalker to the dark side of the Force.

The Daughter ended up sacrificing herself to save The Father from The Son's attack, and also spent the last of her energy to revive Tano after her life energy was extinguished by The Son. The Son later succeeded in turning Anakin to the dark side by exposing him to the actions of his future self, although The Father later eliminated Anakin's memories of the event after discovering this to break the dark side's hold on him. The Father later sacrificed himself by stabbing himself with the Mortis Dagger to weaken The Son enough for Anakin to finish him off.

In 44 ABY, a group of ten Jedi Knights were dispatched by Anakin's son, Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker to search for the Mortis monolith. Their aim was to locate the Mortis Dagger, so that should Abeloth, the Force entity that had threatened to bring the galaxy to its knees, return to in the future, the Jedi would be equipped to defeat her.^[4]
