Frequently asked questions
- What was the Ga-Suva?
- The Ga-Suva was Gali's Suva in Ga-Koro, the water-village shrine that held her Kanohi and, after the Toa Nuva transformation, her Nuva Symbol. It was one of the six village Suva on Mata Nui, one for each of the Toa Mata.
- What did the Ga-Suva do during the Battle of Ga-Koro?
- When Pahrak had overrun Ga-Koro and cornered the defenders in the main plaza, the Ga-Suva began to glow and discharged beams of intense light that struck the Pahrak and neutralised them on the spot. This was the only recorded instance in which any of the six Suva produced a directly destructive emission.
- What did the glow of the Ga-Suva signal?
- The glow was the Ga-Suva's signal that the Toa Mata had succeeded in imprisoning the Bahrag far below the island. With the queens sealed underground, the directive driving the Bohrok lapsed and the individual Pahrak fell where they stood.
- How was the Nuva Symbol connected to the Toa Nuva's powers?
- Removing a Nuva Symbol from its Suva cut the linked Toa Nuva's connection to her element entirely. This flaw was the design pretext for the Bohrok-Kal campaign, in which the elite Bohrok crossed the island Suva by Suva to lift the Symbols and de-power the Toa Nuva.
- What happened to the Ga-Suva?
- The dedicated Ga-Suva entry records its destruction by the Bohrok swarms shortly before the reawakening of the Great Spirit, while the consolidated Suva entry records it as having been moved to Metru Nui. The two readings are not reconcilable from surviving records and represent a genuine inconsistency in the source canon, though both agree the physical Ga-Suva did not outlast the surface of Mata Nui.
