Meditation teams were established by the Jedi Order after the discovery of the affliction known as the blight in the Jedi Temple on[2] the Core Worlds[3] planet Coruscant[2] in 228 BBY.[1] The teams were made of formidable mystics and were specially trained for extended in-depth meditation that kept the blight at bay. When Jedi Knight Reath Silas and his team traveled to[2] the Mid Rim[3] planet Kashyyyk after the blight was discovered there, a meditation team including Jedi Master Belka Poiryn traveled ahead of them, knowing the importance of combatting the blight as soon as possible.[2]
