The Matukai were a religious order that existed throughout the High Republic Era. Approximately in 382 BBY, the Kel Dor named Waran Val acted as their representative within the Convocation of the Force. When a delegate from the Yacombe requested representation in the Convocation, Val tried to assault the Yacombe, since the Matukai considered them to be adherents of the dark side. After Elris Florent, who represented the Disciples of the Whills, proposed that the Convocation should give the Yacombe's application a fair hearing, Val retorted that the Matukai had no obligations to the Yacombe, and that they were guardians of the light.
