The intent of those who supported the project—such as Jedi Master Kol Skywalker, a leading member of the Jedi Council—was to see if Vong terraforming techniques, such as those that had once transformed Coruscant into the species's temporary homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar (27-29 ABY), could restore the world that had been left barren and devastated. The experiment appeared to work perfectly, returning Ossus to vibrant life again. When the Jedi showed the results to the outside galaxy, the response was tremendous as other worlds gained their chance to restore planets devastated by the Yuuzhan Vong War.
