The secrets of forming Bilar-type claqa group-minds was a publication that promised to teach its reader how to form a claqa, or group mind, like the members of the Bilar species were able to do. The book was for sale by the Galactic Archives, a small shop in Trader's Plaza, Talos spaceport, on the planet Atzerri,[2] between 16 ABY and 17 ABY.[1] The Galactic Archives advertised the volume in their courtesy cabs, which took customers to their central distribution hub. Jedi Master Luke Skywalker viewed an advertisement for the book in such a cab during a search for information about[2] his mother,[3] Padmé Amidala. It was advertised alongside the H'kig book of laws, Principles of Power, and the Sith book of offerings and rituals, with a discount for the purchase of three or more volumes. The Jedi dismissed the advertised volumes as likely frauds.[2]

Behind the scenes

The book was mentioned in Shield of Lies, the second novel of The Black Fleet Crisis trilogy. The novel was written by Michael P. Kube-McDowell and published in 1996.[2]
