The Ryloth Ark was a chest-shaped artifact originally located on Ryloth, the homeplanet of the Twi’leks. Around 22 BBY, during the Clone Wars, Separatist Council member EmirWat Tambor seized control of Ryloth. One of Tambor’s tasks was to collect valuables stored on the planet, one of which was the Ark. During a battle on the planet, the Ark was carried by two Twi’leks, as they boarded a Sheathipede-class shuttle. Years later, in 5 ABY, the Ark was kept inside a display case on Scardia Station, where it was viewed by many, although it was uncertain whether it was the genuine Ark retrieved from the Separatists or a copy.
