The Zeffo - Everything We Know About the Ancient Lost Species

[@jayfeatherthesnarkymedicin8160]

When the Zeffo Sage said, “I lead the remnants of my people into the great unknown, hoping that we will finally find peace.”, made me think that he’s talking about the Unknown Regions.

[@ChevyChase301]

Eiji Kobayashi or the galacticcore it was likely unexplored at that point

[@outboundflight4455]

If your suggesting they are the Yuzzhan Vong or aka Grysk un cañón then no. They probably just are one of many species dwelling in those regions as well as the Chiss.

I’d like to see the Zeffo explored more in the high republic material.

[@unlimitedpower3157]

The Zeffo kind of remind me of the precursors in the Halo universe. After experiencing a major purge from their Forerunner creations, they dematerialized their physical forms and fled into the void of space. Of course, the Zeffo don't return as the Flood, so I think the similarities end there.

[@amazingbro6723]

To me, they more like the forerunners

[@councilornevec8249]

I would love to see more of the zeffo's civilization and interpretation of the force. Hopefully we get more civilization with different interpretations of the force. I would like the see the sith speices return with a more complex background in the force, not just 'they are dark side user'.

[@jamiesettle4348]

@Tyler Serate not in legends. Sith were a species that had a dark side affinity, their empires eventually brought in other species and their mastery of the darkside and corruption led to it being an order and the extinction of the species.

@@johnnyjohnson2826 Project Auger. In one of the force echos, a stormtrooper says they were digging to find rare artifacts under the planet's surface, but the project was halted due to Zeffo's conditions and wildlife. In answer to your question, they weren't interested in Zeffo at the start - at least, not until Cal ventured into the tomb and they reactivated Project Auger to capture him/discover what he was searching for (the holocron). It could be theorized that there was a _particular_ artifact the Emperor was after - akin to the World Between Worlds portal on Lothal - but this is all we know so far.

Humans actually end in “Battlestar Galactica”. When they come to Earth, Hera is the beginning on the new race. Cylon and man end in time and modern humanity are the descendants of Hera. The hybrid says the two enemies will join, he even says Kara Thrace will lead the human race to its end. She actually does, she leads mankind to its ultimate end to pave the way for a new beginning for the new life.

[@austinsnow7430]

If there’s a sequel when will it be

[@FrostbiteCinematics]

Probably not for some time. Respawn are actually hiring right now for level designers, narrative gameplay designers and writers to work on a Star Wars project in Unreal Engine 4 (the same engine used for SWJ:FO). They have already confirmed this themselves, so it's very likely that the game that they are working on is a sequel to SWJ:FO. But since they're still hiring writers, game designers and level designers, it's safe to say that the game is still only at the beginning of development, so we're likely waiting a couple of years for it to be complete.

[@thenumeratorofficial]

This has no relation to "zeff", digit 14 in Argam. The name derives from "twice seff", an abstraction of "twice seven", for 14. It is shaped like a backwards 3.

Have just finished the Thrawn/Ascendency/Treason books and have been thinking... how influential on Palpatine was Thrawn? I keep going back to his argument against the Death Star, that sinking your funds and energy into one massive offense was not as important as bolstering the numbers (as with his Tie Defender program). Then years later we have Palpatine doing just that by creating the final order fleet making all the star destroyers planet killers. For you SWE hosts... Any thoughts on the subject?
