Legend

this odd, triangular ingot of metal was discovered by Imperial research team MS-133 four years after the Battle of Endor. It had been hidden within the confines of the Place of Kastays, on the planet Aaris III, for many centuries, after it was recovered by an ancient Aaris military force. It had been turned over the Kastays, whose team tried in vain to prevent it from tearing apart their civilization. The Plaque itself was not native to Aaris III, but had been transported to the planet millennia before the rise of the Aaris civilization. It fed off the life energies of organic beings, and tried to kill any living thing it encountered. It did not actually try to kill them itself, but amplified the suspicious nature of the beings which touched it, in an attempt to have them destroy themselves. While the Plaque's effect was strongest when in physical contact with a being, proximity to the artifact also strengthened a being's fear of its companions. After the Plaque had been discovered by Lancer Brunou and team MS-133, the crew of the FarStar was forced to jettison the Plaque into space in order to defeat its evil influence.
