Scorekeeper

Legends Canon version → Linked from 28 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The Scorekeeper was the goddess of the Trandoshans who would assign them to their deserved place in the Afterlife. According to Trandoshan belief, she existed beyond time and space. She watched Trandoshan hunters, and awarded them "Jagannath points" for each kill. The more prestigious or rare the target killed, the higher its value in "points" would be and the greater their place in the Afterlife would grow into. The condition of the pelt did not matter to her. Wookiees were prized as a particularly high point-value target. The stakes of failure were quite high, however—all Jagganath points were erased by shame or capture in the process of a hunt, giving the Trandoshan in question a value of zero in the eyes of the Scorekeeper unless they manged to kill the offender. In the event where a Trandoshan hunter dies without ever having so much as earned a single Jagannath Point; excluding those that had lost their Points by being captured, it's said that the Scorekeeper would humiliate the failed hunter by reincarnating them into Prey instead.

While the Scorekeeper appears to be an exclusively Trandoshan deity, a Trandoshan named Qyzen Fess became convinced that Yuon Par's Padawan (who was neither a Trandoshan nor a devotee of the Scorekeeper) was her avatar or "Herald".
