Light Celestials

The Light Celestials, often simply called the Celestials, were an order of god-like beings that existed during the galaxy's developmental years.

In 8,000,000,000 BBY, 3.5 billion years after the galaxy's creation, a massive supernova took place that created the Wellspring of Life. The Force is created through the Wellspring as it generates Midi-Chlorians. These organisms manifested into the Celestials, granting them god-like powers of creation.

In 5,000,000,000 BBY, another supernova threatened the galaxy. The demigod Mendax pleaded to the other Celestials to use their powers to stop the supernova. However the others refused, citing that their powers would not be enough to stop the supernova. As a result, the supernova occurred and killed many Celestials, including Mendax's mother. Enraged by the inaction of the other Celestials, he and several others seceded from the order and formed the Dark Celestials. The Demigod War then took place over the next few million years, devastating the galaxy. In the end, Mendax and his leadership were captured by Dominus, Mendax's father and leader of the Light Celestials. He punished the Dark Celestials by converting them into planets, where they would be imprisoned forever.

The Light Celestials finished making the last stars in the galaxy and converted themselves into planets to ensure that no conflict as devastating as the Demigod War could take place again. Around this time, in 4,310,000,000 BBY, the Celestial Luges had a vision of a prophecy forthcoming a "Chosen One", who would create balance in the Force. He was given permission by Dominus to stay in the Ethereal realm of Mortis to await the prophesised Chosen One and guide him.
