A gigantic being, known as the protector, inhabited the world of Planet X. Back in 382 BBY, individuals belonging to the Path of the Open Hand cult stumbled upon this creature. They were running away from an Under-Dweller, another enormous creature that had launched an assault against them. This attack occurred after they had pilfered eggs belonging to the Nameless species from the planet's cavernous depths. The protector then proceeded to engage and overpower the Under-Dweller who was chasing the cultists, and then turned its attention to attacking the group of cult members as they tried to escape the planet.
