The Dej-Wah was a telepathic rite of faith performed by Delvians to link a group of individuals together as a psychic weapon against their enemies.

Zotoh Zhaan once tried to harness the Dej-Wah to kill her lover Bitaal after he betrayed his people to the Peacekeepers. However the attempt did kill Bitaal but without assistance of other Delvians, the experience left her mind shattered and only recovered after many cycles.

Scorpius learned of the Dej-Wah in his research of Delvians in his relentless pursuit to capture John Crichton. At the time of the War for the Uncharted Territories, Scorpius believed it to be a potential weapon against the Kkore. Scorpius and Rygel XVI journeyed to Delvia to gain the aid of the Delvians in a resistance against the KKore. Though the Delvians knew of the threat of their distant kinsmen, the Dej-Wah was believed to be a false hope as it could not be deployed as Bitaal's purges left the Delvians bereft of many of their most faithful Pa'us. However Crichton believed that the Dej=Wah could still be used and strengthen by using the faith of other species. Furthermore it could be harnessed and focused through the Eidelons who could project harmony and positive emotions with Stark acting as a conduit between them and the remaining Delvians of the Delvian Seek.

Though the plan was a long shot, the allied resistance gathered as many remaining spiritual leaders they could in Falaman System. The effect of the Dej-Wah caused the forces of the resistance to be fully empowered and confounded the sensors of the KKore. Additionally the effect of the Dej-Wah not only affected the Falaman System, but also spread throughout the galaxy, emboldening the enslaved masses the Kkore subjugated to rise and fight back.

John Crichton referred to it as a "Dishwasher." ("Talkin' Kkore Blues")
