Legend

this false religion was set up by the Hutts and the t'landa Til as a legitimate front for a spice processing facility. The religion centered on Exaltations, which were simply sonic vibrations created by the t'landa Til. Using throat pouches, the creatures can emit vibrations that affect the sensory centers of the brain. The pilgrims which flee society to join the religion speak of intense pleasure and a sense of calm from the Exaltations. The pilgrims eventually find that they can't live without the sensory experience, and attend daily devotions regularly. The t'landa Til then use the pilgrims as slaves, telling them that the work they perform serves the Oneness. In reality, the pilgrims are simply processing raw spice - andris, carsunum, ryll, and glitterstim - for sale by the Hutts. The incredible pureness and processing capability of the pseudo-religion, which operated on the planet Ylesia, made it more than a match for the facilities on Kessel or Ryloth.
