Legend

part of a fantastic ruse concocted by Darth Vader to lure Leia Organa into his clutches, this wondrous stone, created by the Jerni millennia before the rise of the New Order, was rumored to allow the user to travel through time. Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa tried to recover the crystal to aid the Alliance, but were captured on Jerne by Ryko Vant. They had hoped to use the stone to return to the Old Republic and prevent the rise of Emperor Palpatine and the destruction of Alderaan, much as Vader had predicted. His forced were attacked by Meeka Reen's guerillas, who took Luke and Leia as their own prisoners. They learned that the crystal was housed on Adony Station, and raced to recover it before Darth Vader could beat them to it. Unfortunately, Vader had rigged the vault to explode when opened, in an effort to kill Luke and Leia. The vault exploded, catching all three of them. They managed to escape, but the crystal and much of Adony Station were destroyed.
