Editing The Force (section)

===The Ones===
The closest thing to Force Gods the setting has, these beings simply known as the Ones are nigh-immortal, nigh-powerful beings of uncertain origins. They are known as the Daughter, who is strong in the Light Side, the Son, who is strong in the Dark Side, and the Father, who represents the Will of the Force, and keeps the balance between the two. The Ones primarily appear to be responsible for protecting the galaxy from galactic-scale threats; they created the barrier that separates the galaxy from the outer universe to protect it from dangers like the Yuuzhan Vong, and likely created the same barrier in the Unknown Regions that guards against superpredators native to that region of space. They also created the Maw as a gigantic prison; more on that below. That being said, one of the greatest threats to the galaxy was themselves, and they were forced to withdraw in isolation.

During the Clone Wars, they lived on the Force Nexus known as Mortis, and the Father attempted to recruit Anakin as the Chosen One to replace him and maintain the balance between his two children. Ultimately he failed, and all three were killed during the family infighting. The Ones are obviously meant to personify the different aspects of the Force, but fans tend to disagree on the exact nature of their relationship. The Daughter, though at times overzealous in fighting her brother, is ultimately loyal to the Father and completely selfless. The Son, despite being tied to the Dark Side, isn't initially evil, merely a part of the destructive side of nature and the more selfish inclinations of people. It is only after Anakin's arrival that he lets his ambition and desire for power to fully corrupt him, thus causing the imbalance on Mortis and the Ones' ultimate destruction. And the Father, though mistaken in his understanding of Anakin's place as the Chosen One, understands the need to end the conflict between his children and restore the balance, or else risk the complete destruction of the galaxy. 

Whether the Ones were actually destroyed on Mortis or not is unclear.  Morai, a form or familiar of the Daughter, continued to manifest occasionally to Ahsoka Tano well after the events on Mortis, suggesting the entire incident  may have simply been a vision or manifestation.  

The Ones do have a Mother in the Legends continuity, though she was originally a mortal, and was afraid that her death would end the balance between the children. In the process of becoming immortal, she transformed into the eldritch abomination known as Abeloth and became imprisoned deep within a super-dense cluster of black holes, known as the Maw, escaping every few thousand years to wreak havoc on the galaxy.
