Kaiburr Crystal


Kaiburr crystals were Force-attuned crystals that grew rarely but throughout the Galaxy, with some areas having a greater abundance than others. The crystals concentrated energy in a unique manner through the Force, resonating with it.

Internally, kaiburr crystals were composed of both organic and inorganic matter. They were stable at temperatures and pressures found in the cores of stars and gas giants, and were thus resistant to heat and physical stresses. The crystals grew in an organized way, adding to their prismatic structure one piece at a time, and thus could be found from sizes as small as a fingernail to gigantic proportions. All kaiburr crystals were attuned to the Force regardless of their size.

Kaiburr crystals were most notably found in the Adega system, though a fair amount of these crystals could also be found on the planets Ilum, Dantooine, Halm, and Mygeeto. They were a critical component in the construction of most lightsabers, generating the energy which formed the weapon's distinct laser blade. Force adepts travelled to crystal deposits to harvest their own crystals, which they then used to build their lightsabers. Crystals lacked colour before they were chosen by Force adepts. Once chosen, the crystals were meditated upon with the Force, upon which they attained hues influenced by the adepts' psyches or preferences.

The crystals were noted for their unmatched ability to channel energy and generate enormous returns. To this end, numerous individuals attempted to make synthetic kaiburr crystals, though synthesis was difficult and the resultant crystals were often highly unstable and explosive. If a crystal was subjected to forceful attempts to harness its innate power, it would "flee" such attempts, hindering those that sought to use it against its will. Only Force adepts could easily harness the power of the kaiburr crystal. This was done either by the adept forming a rapport with the crystal or by using the Force to dominate the crystal, bending it to their will.

The ancient Sith made prodigious use of kaiburr crystals. Sith warblades, amulets, and holocrons usually utilized natural kaiburr crystals, whilst most other Sith technology utilized synthetic crystals. During the Great Hyperspace War, superweapons were developed by the Dark Lord Naga Sadow that were powered by giant kaiburr crystals. These superweapons were capable of destroying whole stars by reaching into their depths and wrenching out their cores, destabilizing them, causing them to go supernova. The modern lightsaber was also an innovation of the Sith. While the lightsaber was invented by the Jedi after the Great Schism, leaving the Exiles who became the Sith ignorant of the technology, a number of laser swords came into the Sith's possession during the Great Hyperspace War. They were quick to modify the weapons to replace the cumbersome external power packs and restrictive power cords with internally set kaiburr crystals, considerably improving lightsaber ergonomics. The Jedi adapted the use of kaiburr crystals in the creation of their own lightsabers and holocrons following the war.

After the Proclamation of the New Order and the Great Jedi Purge, Emperor Palpatine and his Empire began construction of the Death Stars, twin battle stations capable of destroying entire planets. Kaiburr crystals were used as part of the Death Stars' superlasers, looted from lightsabers, holy sites, and worlds where they could be found.

Forms of Kryptonite

Kryptonite is a crystalline compound formed from the radioactive elements which constituted the core of Kal-El's native planet, Krypton. Existing in many forms with many colours, kryptonite has varied effects on Kryptonian and Terran lifeforms alike.

GREEN KRYPTONITE


EFFECTS ON KRYPTONIANS

Causes debilitating pain, weakness, reduction of powers, and eventually death.

EFFECTS ON HUMANS

Prolonged exposure causes cellular damage.

EFFECTS ON BIZARRO-KRYPTONIANS

Permanently amplifies/augments powers and temporarily immunizes them to most other forms of kryptonite.

ABUNDANCE

The only known form of naturally occurring kryptonite, the molten remains of Krypton and the debris field surrounding it are believed to be wholly composed of green K. Only one (formerly three) fragments of appreciable size are present on Earth — formerly in the possession of Luthor Incorporated, now in the hands of parties unknown.

RED KRYPTONITE


EFFECTS ON KRYPTONIANS

Suppresses powers for 48-72 hours.

EFFECTS ON HUMANS

Prolonged/intense exposure in combination with various external catalysts causes mutations resulting in superhuman abilities.

EFFECTS ON BIZARRO-KRYPTONIANS

Fatally overloads them with power.

ABUNDANCE

The end product of Lex Luthor's failed attempt at synthesizing green K, almost a hundred bricks of red K were produced during the 1930s & '40s, making it the most common form of the compound on Earth.

BLUE KRYPTONITE


EFFECTS ON BIZARRO-KRYPTONIANS

Causes debilitating pain, weakness, reduction of powers, and eventually death.

EFFECTS ON KRYPTONIANS

Permanently amplifies/augments powers and temporarily immunizes them to most other forms of kryptonite.

EFFECTS ON HUMANS

Prolonged exposure heals cellular damage.

ABUNDANCE

Naturally occurring in Universe 29, the only example of blue K found in Universe 1 was a large synthetic crystal Superman had kept in his Fortress of Solitude before having it destroyed.

BLACK KRYPTONITE


EFFECTS ON KRYPTONIANS

Splits them into two separate beings, one "good" and one "evil".

EFFECTS ON HUMANS

None known.

EFFECTS ON BIZARRO-KRYPTONIANS

None known.

ABUNDANCE

The only fragment of black K was created by Lex Luthor and used to fuel the Lexdroid, an android simulacrum Luthor built to physically combat Superman. The chunk was destroyed after Luthor remotely triggered the Lexdroid's self-destruct, bathing the Man of Tomorrow in concentrated black K radiation.

Kryptonians


Due to convergent evolution, Kryptonians were near-exact genetic duplicates of Terran humans. Owing to the greater age of their race, Kryptonians were further along the evolutionary path; they lacked the body hair and toenails of their Terran cousins, and their physiques were more robust, with a powerful immune system and healing factor enabling an average lifespan exceeding 200 years. They also possessed charcoal skin tones, an adaptation enabling them to withstand the ultraviolet radiation of their red dwarf sun.

Kryptonian society was completely egalitarian. With rare exception, sons were born into the houses of their fathers, daughters into the houses of their mothers. Though a sexual race, Kryptonians relied on artificial "birthing matrices" to reproduce; natural gestation/birth was considered an inefficient primitive practice and was almost unheard of by the time of their demise.

Genetically bound to their planet, the population of Krypton could not relocate en masse to Earth in the face of their world's destruction. Instead, they created 144,000 genetically modified embryoes, tailored to enhance their resemblance to Terrans and grant them abilities which would make them living gods on Earth. Of these 144,000 "new" Kryptonians, only a handful survived to make it to their new colony and grow to maturity. Among them was Kal-El, biological son of Jor-El, scientist, and Lara-Van, librarian.
