- "The Mystics aren't Sith or Jedi, though—for them, the Force is a conduit of healing and sometimes, visions. Rituals that manipulate the Force are rare and often forbidden."
- ―Darth Zash
The Voss Mystics were the prophetic rulers of the Voss species. They were talented healers and seers native to the planet of the same name, which was highly attuned to the Force. However, the Mystics possessed no formal knowledge of the Force and were uninterested in outsiders' opinions, and were considered to be Gray. The visions and talents of these mystics allowed the Voss to survive the attacks of another native species, a tech-savvy pre-flight species named the Gormak.
History[]
- "The Mystics are prophets who shape the direction of Voss society. The Emperor wants to wipe out all life in the galaxy. Hardly the same thing."
- ―Scourge makes a comparison between the goals of the Mystics and the Sith Emperor.
When the planet Voss was rediscovered by the larger galaxy just after the Treaty of Coruscant, the Sith Empire schemed to conquer Voss while the Galactic Republic sought to defend it. The Voss Mystics foresaw both plots. Following the invasion attempt, an occupation fleet had disappeared and both galactic powers were forced to approach the Voss in peace to curry favor.[1]

Sana-Rae was a rare Voss Mystic to leave her homeworld and join the Eternal Alliance.
Many Mystics inhabited Voss-Ka, a fortified mountain city, and the Shrine of Healing, where they employed commandos to defend themselves, guided by the Voss Mystics. The Voss had no formal knowledge of the Force and were uninterested in training from outsiders.[1] They held an entirely different view of the Force and believed themselves to be its chosen people. They were considered to be Gray by the Jedi and Sith.[3] The visions had by the Mystics were never wrong.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The Voss Mystics were first introduced in a Holonet article for the Star Wars: The Old Republic video game.[1] The Voss Mystics were confirmed as totalitarian rulers of the Voss in a developer blog about BioWare's world design process.[3]
