Zealots of Psusan

Edit
This article covers the Canon version of this subject.  Click here for Wookieepedia's article on the Legends version of this subject. 

The Zealots of Psusan were a religious cult[1] that dominated three colonies along the Talcene Transit hyperspace route. Aesthetes of the faith paid high prices for the root segments and mineral water harvested as specialized medicinal exports from the bubse trees native to the planet Saleucami.[3]

In 22 BBY,[4] when the cult was fast-growing, the tattooed human cultist Agira Nyrat attended the Outlander Club on the planet Coruscant and identified a weak-minded individual there to convert to the faith.[1] By 1 BBY,[5] the Zealots of Psusan were a long-standing faith and were one of many religious groups to consider the moon Jedha a holy site,[6] with members of the group making pilgrimages to the moon.[2]

Behind the scenes[]

A member of the Zealots of Psusan first appeared in the prequel trilogy film Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones,[7] which was released on May 16, 2002.[8] In the current Star Wars canon, the cult was then identified for the first time in "Visiting Saleucami," an article published by De Agostini in the "Guide to the Galaxy" department of the magazine Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon 44[3] around November 4, 2015.[9] The Zealots originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where they were first mentioned in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones: The Visual Dictionary, which was written by David West Reynolds[10] and released prior to the film on April 23, 2002.[11]
