Crèche

The Crèche were a religion on the planet Ovanis in Outer Rim Territories, upon which they protected a giant egg that they believed would one day hatch a savior and lead to the salvation of the galaxy. The galactic explorer Lor San Tekka lived with them for two years to understand their ways. Many years later, Commander Poe Dameron of the Resistance found the Crèche and attempted to gain their trust as part of his search for the old explorer. The Crèche were later caught up in a conflict between the Resistance and the First Order, a successor state of the Galactic Empire. The Crèche later adopted a black-skinned wing creature as their savior and left with it to find a new home.
