Adegan crystal/Legends



Adegan crystals were commonly used by Jedi as a main component of a lightsaber. Also known as "Ilum crystals" they were primarily found in Adega system and on the planet Ilum.

Ilum was one of very few locations in the galaxy where this kind of rare Force-reactive stone could be found. The vast majority of lightsaber crystals from Ilum were green or blue in color, but all of them had the special properties that made them ideal for a Jedi's weapon. When induced by resonant frequencies, the crystals emitted powerful bursts of light, and further components of a lightsaber harnessed this power into a rod-like beam.

Adegan crystals had a special connection to the Force, and it is through their use that Jedi created a bond between themselves, the Force, and their weapon.

Types of Adegan crystal

 * Kathracite was the most common form of Adegan crystal, followed by relacite and danite. These crystals didn't focus energy as well as their rarer cousins, and thus were usually reserved for use in training sabers.
 * Mephite was a typical Adegan crystal used by the Jedi.
 * Pontite was the rarest and most powerful type of Adegan crystal, and was nearly impossible to find, radiating a powerful aura that cooled both skin and tempers.
