The Ancients were worshiped as deities by the age-revering Klatooinian people. From the earliest period in their recorded history, the Klatooinians believed in the idea of strength through age, as exemplified by the Fountain of Ancients. This spectacular formation was considered a gift of the Ancients, inspiring them to tenacity, patience, and respect for tradition.
After the Hutts made contact with the Klatooinians and signed them into servitude, the long-lived gastropods were identified with the Ancients. Millennia later, however, younger Klatooinians who wanted freedom from their Hutt overlords disputed this.
