Garn was a desolate world of craggy rocks and dead trees shrouded in a dense yellow fog. Several millennia ago, the planet was laid to waste by the Jedi Order who strove to eliminate the Order of the Terrible Glare for their role during the Pius Dea Crusades. Luke Skywalker went to the planet on Obi-Wan Kenobi's advice and discovered a trove of Jedi armor as well as the Portal Desolate and the soul snares used to hold Jedi spirits. After Skywalker defeated the last surviving member of the Order, a High Shaman known as Rur, he was able to free the spirits of the dead Jedi at last.
