Legend

this was the name used by the descendants of those followers of Xim the Despot who landed the Queen of Ranroon on Dellalt, shortly after the Third Battle of Vontor. The Survivors lived in isolation on Dellalt for many millennia, guarding the secret of the Queen of Ranroon and awaiting the time when another despot rose to power and unlocked the keys to Xim's power. They avoided contact with the other humans living on Dellalt, although a number of them took jobs in various levels of Dellaltian commerce. These positions allowed them to monitor the comings and goings of parties interested in the long-lost treasures of Xim, thus alerting them to any possible intrusion. Their total population remained around 100 people, which helped keep the group hidden from mainstream life. The Survivors segregated their population into two groups: the workers, who were hypno-imprinted to do what they were commanded to do; and the leaders, who understood the legacy handed down to them from Xim. As a group, the Survivors wore the ancient clothing and armor used by Xim's forces. Since landing on Dellalt, they also set up a quasi-religion around the search for the High Command and the next galactic despot. The center of this religion was the beacon which they projected into space from Dellalt. The beacon contained the clues to Xim's power, which the Survivors believed would be interpretted by the next despot. The Survivors realized that they did not have the resources to overthrow the Old Republic, and so they bided their time over many generations. When the New Order was established, backwater systems like the Tion Hegemony were left more or less to themselves, so the Survivors began strengthening their beacon. When Han Solo, Chewbacca, Skynx, Alexsandr Badure, and Hasti Troujow arrived on Dellalt, several years before the Battle of Yavin, the Survivors had started making sacrifices, believing that such sacrifices would strengthen the beacon and help the next despot find them. After the Guardian Corp was destroyed, the Survivors were easily rounded up by Solo's group, who questioned them about the location of the Queen of Ranroon.
