The trio of warrior figures had their genesis in the mind of a military commander belonging to an extraterrestrial race. Constructed from a heavy timber, they were adorned with valuable metals and gemstones. Once, these statues were in the possession of Yarkora artifacts merchant Saell-Terae, who concealed them within a landing craft attached to his starship, named Lost Reef. Thrawn, an Imperial Senior Captain embroiled in conflict with the statues' creator, also desired these figures in his quest for insights into his adversary.
