The B'omarr Monk are a sect of monks who inhabited the wastes of Tatooine. The B'omarr built a huge citadel in the deep desert in order to isolate themselves and concentrate on the physical denial of all senses that is central to their belief system. One thing that is known about the B'omarr is that, when they reach a certain level of spiritual awareness, they have their brains surgically removed from their bodies and placed in a nutrient suspension. The reason behind this ritual stems from their belief that they no longer need their physical bodies to continue their devotion.
