The Ancient Order of Pessimists was a religious group of hermits living on Maryx Minor who followed a creed and lifestyle of pessimism. Abal Karda sought sanctuary in their hermitage while on the run from Boba Fett and Darth Vader. Fett soon infiltrated the hermitage, killed Karda, and retrieved the box containing the severed, but living, head of Selestrine. Vader soon arrived and battled with Fett for the box. After obtaining the box, Vader returned to his Imperial-class Star Destroyer. Upon surviving the battle between Fett and Vader, the High Hermit experienced an epiphany and began to embrace optimism. However, Vader had the hermitage completely destroyed from orbit for the hermits' having witnessed the events.
