OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
* Intent: To develop a stronger and more stable crystal material to be the centerpiece of new technologies
* Image Source: Source here
* Restricted Missions: N/A
* Primary Source: N/A
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
* Name: Krypto Crystal
* Manufacturer: The Pureblood Consortium
* Homeworld (optional): Dromund Kaas
* Production: Minor-produced
* Affiliation: Sith Empire Only
* Modularity: No modularity
* Material: Kyber crystals subjected to upgraded Krypto process
PHYSICAL SPECIFICATIONS
* Classification: Gemstone, Energy Source
* Weight: Varies between the size of crystals used (small crystals typically are 200 grams while larger crystals can range into 30 kilograms)
* Quality: N/A (not meant to be used as armor material)
* Color: Dark Green
SPECIAL FEATURES
* When a focusing laser is passed through it, a Krypto crystal can produce an immense amount of energy that can be harnessed for a variety of uses and is virtually limitless as long as the focusing laser continues to pass through it.
DETAILED SPECIAL FEATURES AND THIER USES
* As a focusing laser is passed through the Krypto crystal, it creates an energy output that is five times the amount emitted by standard energy sources. This energy can then be harnessed for use for a variety of purposes, such as reactors, power cells for weapons and droids, etc.
Strengths:
* Generates an immense amount of relatively clean energy that can be harnessed for use in a variety of applications (where as Kyber was three times standard, a Krypto crystal is 5 times standard)
* Far more stable than baseline Kyber, meaning stray blaster bolts won't cause a chain reaction or cause the crystal to explode
Weaknesses :
* If a crystal does break, anything within a given radius will be reduced down to individual atoms a.k.a be disintegrated (smallest crystals - 15 meters radius and ranging up to largest crystals - 350 meters)
* Because of the amount of energy being produced, equipment has to be specially designed to accept the crystals and the energy they produce. Otherwise, the equipment will be fried and rendered useless from an energy overload
* Easier to break due to the process used on them
* Kinetic attacks, such as a slughtrower or sword strike, will shatter the crystal
DESCRIPTION
Developed in complete secrecy at the Consortium Labs on Dromund Kaas, the Krypto Crystals are designed to be the next evolution of lightsaber and Laser technology and will form the heart of many new pieces of technology from the Consortium. Taking inspiration from the phrase "the brightest stars have hearts of kyber," Destus and his engineers began experimenting with kyber crystals to create a stronger and stabler version of the crystals, with the hopes of combining the legends of kyber crystal energy production and the real world applications of Alchemy, plasma and Kaiburr technology.
Experimenting on kyber crystals harvested from Mygeeto and other worlds in secret, the researchers followed along paths long ago blazed by Galen Erso in the use of harnessing kyber crystals. To begin with, the crystals are faceted to align along what Erso called the "night side" of the crystals, rendering them more docile. The crystal is then subjected to an improved version of the alchemy process, warping the organic parts of the kyber crystal into viable plasma material that is fused with the inorganic parts of the crystal in a perfect blend. Note that the size of the crystal does not affect power output, so larger crystals do not mean even more power, just they are better for use in things like reactors.
The resulting crystals were deemed to produce roughly five times the energy output as the standard on the galactic market, To utilize a crystal as an energy source, a focusing laser is required to be passed through it (once the reaction starts, the energy cell or reactor is designed to siphon a small amount of power back into the reaction to keep the laser going). In theory, this results in almost limitless energy that could be tapped for a variety of purposes for the company. The Krypto crystals are also far more stable than baseline Kyber Crystals, so no stray blasters will set off any chain reactions that might cause it to explode. However, if a crystal does break for whatever reason, anything within a given radius will be disintegrated to individual atoms. The crystals can also only be used in equipment and technology designed to accommodate them and their increased energy yield, otherwise they will burn out anything else from an overload of energy.
With the force, the crystals color could be changed to be used in lightsabers.
