The massive basalt pillars that gave the Basalt Forest its distinctive geography, referred to by scholars as 'stone sentinels,' were formed by seismic activity deep within Koboh's crust. The seismic activity would uproot the pillars, causing them to erupt from the surface fully formed. The porous surface of the stone spires provided ideal scaffolding for rudimentary organic life to take root.
The Basalt Forest was revealed in a review of the video game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, published by IGN.
