"We are the Crèche. This egg is our charge, our purpose, our salvation. We protect and nurture it, and in return we bathe in its radiance. Its presence guides our lives. It holds salvation itself—the savior unborn. Someday the egg will hatch, and we, or our descendants, shall receive our reward for keeping it safe these many generations."
―A Crèche elder
This egg is not the egg. It is a small holy object carried by Creche believers. The Crèche are a culture of individuals who dwell on the planet Ovanis, upon which they protected a giant egg that they believe will one day hatch a savior and lead to the salvation of the galaxy.
