Legend

this was one of the few missions dispatched to explore the interior of the planet Tilnes. Launched by the Restimar Mining Corporation during the height of the Clone Wars, Operation Cracked Crystal was officially designated as survey team 1044, although no official record of its mission was ever discovered. A holographic recording from the planet Tilnes eventually revealed that the team was trying to acquire certain crystals from beneath the planet's surface, but was intercepted by the rogue "tour guide" droid C4KO. Before the operation could even near completion, the droid injured or killed most the survey team, and only a deluge of rocks and debris finally stopped the droid's rampage. Before the survey team could reach Restimar and request further assistance, however, their equipment failed, and contact was lost. Their fate remained a mystery, as Restimar denied ever sending such an operation to Tilnes, despite the recorded evidence.
