Legend

this was the name of a legendary storehouse of ancient Jedi relics, supposedly located deep below the surface of the planet Coruscant. Created some 19,000 years before the Galactic Civil War by the eccentric Jedi Humat, the Cell of Imu was believed to contain all of Humat's treasures and lore. The centerpiece of the catacombs was a chamber in which a talisman known as the soul stealer was believed to have been kept. In order to protect his collection, Humat set a number of deadly traps, and kept a number of vicious creatures to help guard the vaults. During the last century of the Old Republic, the Cell of Imu was uncovered in the Petrax Quarter, during the demolition of a five-hundred-story building. The soul stealer was uncovered and nearly fell into the wrong hands. However, a team of freelance agents managed to recover the talisman and return it to the Jedi Knights.
