During the Galactic Civil War, the Galactic Empire mined Churruma's metals and captured the shaman Chrech Estha, a respected leader of the planet's native culture. During his imprisonment, Estha had in his possession a carved stick that, unbeknownst to the Empire, served as a powerful political and religious symbol on his homeworld.

Churruma served the Empire as a major source of raw materials. When the shaman Chrech Estha, a respected leader of the planet's natives, urged his people to fight against the Empire's presence on the planet, he was captured and transported to the prison planet Kessel. Although the Empire confiscated the imprisoned leader's carved stick, the Imperials did not suspect the artifact's significance to Churruma's natives as a powerful political and religious symbol.[2]
