KotOR Item Heart of the Guardian.png Heart of the Guardian
Though its origins have been lost, the legendary artifact known as the Heart of the Guardian was rumored to have been instrumental in the founding of the guardian order of Jedi. Nothing further is mentioned in any Jedi archive, but both Sith and Jedi whisper their own legends. According to the Jedi, the Heart will appear in a time of greatest turmoil and deliver the galaxy into salvation. The Sith, however, believe it to be an object of their heritage, which will bring the galaxy under their dominion. The Heart of the Guardian appears to be a magnificently shaped lightsaber crystal of unknown composition. Analysis by Suvam Tan has yielded inconclusive results, not being able to identify what mineral it's made of. Suvam has even begun to wonder if it is a normal crystal at all, for at times it almost seems as if it were alive.

All known lightsaber crystals seem to have a strange resonance with the Heart of the Guardian, their properties being altered or enhanced when in close proximity to it. Additionally, energy focused through the Heart results in a beam of unique clarity and color.

KotOR Item Mantle of the Force.png Mantle of the Force
The Mantle of the Force is an item assembled by Suvam Tan from pieces found in the ruins of Exar Kun's temples on the fourth moon orbiting Yavin. It appears to be the remains of an even older artifact of unknown origin. It is not known if it was used by Exar Kun, or just uncovered when his temples were destroyed. Nor is it known what the original properties of the item were, but given the current abilities, in its original state it must have been fearsome indeed.

The Mantle is a crystalline lattice, resembling a lightsaber crystal in many ways, but having the additional property of being able to radically alter the flow of energy that passes through it. When combined with other crystals, the Mantle warps their properties, often enhancing them to incredible levels.

Additionally, the Mantle seems to almost act as a focusing tool for Force-sensitive individuals, leading to the idea that the original artifact may once have been a powerful tool of the Sith, or perhaps something they took with them when the dark Jedi originally split from the Order.

Power crystals
Lightsabers can be upgraded with have two power crystals of different types.

KotOR Item Crystal, Bondar.png Crystal, Bondar
This crystal was mined on a far-orbit asteroid circling the Alderaan system. It produces a volatile lightsaber beam that pulses on impact, discharging part of its energy into an opponent.

This crystal can be found in Crystal Cave on Dantooine.

KotOR Item Crystal, Damind.png Crystal, Damind
Found on the desert world of Daminia, this crystal can be used in lightsaber construction to produce a clearly defined beam of subtly wider width and length.

KotOR Item Crystal, Eralam.png Crystal, Eralam
Once mined on the third moon of Erai, ancient Sith bombardment shattered much that remained. If they can be found, these crystals produce a clear, superior lightsaber beam.

KotOR Item Crystal, Firkrann.png Crystal, Firkrann
This heavy crystal is collected by the natives of Rafa V. If used in lightsaber construction it produces an electrically charged beam that is much easier to manipulate than standard beams.

KotOR Item Crystal, Jenruax.png Crystal, Jenruax
The refined form of Opila, this crystal has been cleansed of all impurities. When used in lightsaber construction it produces a blade of unerring quickness.

KotOR Item Crystal, Luxum.png Crystal, Luxum
Ambria was a world in the grip of the dark side. Through years of mental battle, strange Jedi Master Thon contained the evil to Lake Natth. Long meditation can form this powerful crystal from the tainted water.

KotOR Item Crystal, Nextor.png Crystal, Nextor
This crystal is mined in the mountains of planet M'haeli, and when used in lightsaber construction it produces a volatile blade that can cause surprising amounts of damage.

KotOR Item Crystal, Opila.png Crystal, Opila
Found in the asteroid fields of the Fyrth system, this crystal can be used in lightsaber construction to produce an intense beam that seems extraordinarily quick to the cut.

KotOR Item Crystal, Phond.png Crystal, Phond
The strange byproduct of rare impurities bonding during the making of certain alloys and some random external condition, this crystal produces a fiercely burning lightsaber beam.

KotOR Item Crystal, Rubat.png Crystal, Rubat
Used in lightsaber construction, rubat crystal is mined on Phemis. It produces a clearly defined blade that a Jedi can easily focus on.

KotOR Item Crystal, Sapith.png Crystal, Sapith
This crystallized material was excreted once every 11 years by the ancient Volice worm of Lwhekk, now extinct. It produces a more intense lightsaber beam, granting better control.

KotOR Item Crystal, Sigil.png Crystal, Sigil
Mined in the Sigil System, this crystal is a costly but valued addition to a lightsaber. It produces a fiercely bright beam that sears on contact, inflicting great damage.

KotOR Item Crystal, Solari.png Crystal, Solari
There are many famous lightsaber crystals spoken of in the history of the Jedi Order, though few are as powerful as the legendary Solari Crystal. An artifact of true light side power, only those Jedi who are pure in spirit can wield a lightsaber equipped with this gleaming white gem.

When the great Jedi Master Ood Bnar initiated his life-cycle change after a thousand years of serving the Order, he bequeathed the Solari Crystal to his most promising student, a young female Jedi named Shaela Nuur. When Shaela disappeared shortly after the time of the Great Hunt, the Solari Crystal vanished with her.

KotOR Item Crystal, Upari.png Crystal, Upari
Strangely, this crystal is usually encountered scattered in the orbit of primarily forest worlds. It is brittle but versatile, and a Master Jedi can get it to produce many effects.

Krayt Dragon Pearl
Taken from the gullet of a krayt dragon, this crystalline "pearl" appears to have refractory qualities that might allow it to function as a lightsaber crystal once properly adapted.
