Jyn's kyber pendant[2] was a kyber crystal necklace given to Jyn Erso by her mother Lyra Erso, whilst on the run from death troopers.[1] The necklace was given to Lyra by a Ryn jeweler who appeared to be tailing her.[4] It had the words "TRUST IN THE[2][5] FORCE"[1][6] written on it in Aurebesh—the very same words that Lyra told her daughter when she gave her the necklace as a parting gift.[1]
As the guards were unable to recognize it as a kyber crystal,[3] Jyn still had the necklace several years later while imprisoned in a Imperial detention center on Wobani.[1]
