Megalith, also known as The Venerable One, was the designation for a colossal statue situated on the planet Er'stacia. All the Er'stacian clans revered and worshiped this statue. The Er'stacians also called the statue Our Ancestral Divider or Our Exalted Maker, believing it to be their creator.
The statue was sculpted in the likeness of a gigantic Er'stacian, depicted as having emerged from the ancient primordial pool to dominate the terrestrial realms.
Er'stacians greatly admired specific aspects of the statue, including its handsome visage, sinewy segments, unmarred limbs exhibiting both rage and forgiveness, and the lone claw holding its pearl of wisdom.
The Er'stacian people's profound religious devotion to the megalith resulted in planet-wide conflicts as various clans battled for its control. Consequently, virtually every clan on the planet engaged in warfare, all vying for the same prize. The Jedi Council dispatched Mace Windu to mediate the discord, hoping to prevent the Er'stacians from annihilating themselves. Finding no peaceful resolution, Mace Windu obliterated the statue, reducing it to countless fragments. Subsequently, the clans rushed to collect pieces of the statue, effectively bringing the conflict to an end.
