The Dim-U were a sect of bantha-worshiping monks. Their beliefs were based on the unexplained presence of banthas on planets throughout the galaxy. They believed this to be a message from a higher power, and that once this message was unraveled, an "Age of Bounty" would come. Since they considered banthas holy, they would not eat bantha meat or wear bantha hides. Dim-U monks preached their religion on hundreds of worlds. The Dim-U monks of Tatooine once contracted spacers to eliminate poachers who sold the meat and the hide of the bantha.
