<< 1. The Kiber Crystal.
The Kiber Crystal was long ago entrusted by the Force to the patriarch
of the Skywalker line due to his complete devotion to the Light Side of the
Force. In another time, long before the Empire, and before the Republic had
been formed, a holy man called the Skywalker became aware of a powerful
energy field which he believed influenced the destiny of all living
creatures - the Force. After much study, he was able to know the Force, and
it communicated with him. He came to see things in a new way. His "aura"
and powers grew very strong. The Skywalker brought a new life to the people
of his system, and became one of the founders of the Republic Galactica which
later became the Galactic Republic.
The Force actually was able to talk to the Skywalker, and he was able
to come to know the good half - the Light Side. He was strong enough to
resist the seductive influences of the Dark Side. Even so long ago, the
Skywalker realized that if he taught others the way of the Force, some, with
less strength, might come to know the Dark Side and bring unthinkable
suffering to the galaxy. Early on, the Skywalker entrusted the secret of the
Force only to his twelve children, and they in turn passed it on to their
children. In the early days of the Republic Galactica, these families became
known as the Jedi Bendu. However, throughout time, the family line of the
Jedi was diluted and the knowledge was passed on to those outside of the
family line. Of the original twelve families, only one survives into the
present. The family is marked by holding the Kiber Crystal - an artifact of
immense power.
The Kiber Crystal was kept by the Starkiller, the reigning Jedi Bendu
of the Skywalker line. However, even with all of the knowledge gained about
the Force, the full power of the Kiber crystal was never unlocked by the
Skywalkers or by the Starkiller. It was used as a hammer, when in reality it
is a scalpal. The Skywalker Jedi Bendu simply used the crystal to intensify
their Force powers a hundred-fold. In reality, the Kiber Crystal has no such
limits. It has the power to reshape reality. Shortly after the Battle of
Yavin, the Kiber Crystal found its way to Gyndine where it became a part of a
temple to Pomojema, a minor god. Rumors began circulating about the "Kaiburr
Crystal," which came to the attention of both Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.
After the crystal almost fell into the hands of Darth Vader, Dark Lord of
the Sith, it was thought destroyed. Unbeknownst to everyone, the Kiber
Crystal was not destroyed. It was reclaimed by Puodomo, an evil
excommunicated High Priest of Pomojema who has not yet unlocked its full
power. Darth Thanos has recently appropriated it from Puodomo.

The Kiber Crystal
The Kiber Crystal has been rumored to be a lot of things. It has been
rumored to be a great healing power, as well as the last hope for the entire
galaxy. However, no one excpet Darth Thanos has been able to unlock the full
potential of the Kiber Crystal. The Kiber Crystal is able to bend and
reshape the very nature of the Force itself - it can remake reality. Because
of this, it has tended to act in the manner of its users' perceptions of
reality. The Skywalker line perceived that the Kiber Crystal could save them
in their darkest hour, and therefore it behaved that way. The High Priests
of Pomojema perceived that the Kiber Crystal could heal people, and reality
behaved that way. However, the Kiber Crystal, like all of the Crystals of
Force, are only limited by the imagination of the user.
Control Difficulty:
Moderate to use the Kiber Crystal
Heroic to unlock the full potential
Sense Difficulty:
Moderate to use the Kiber Crystal
Heroic to unlock the full potential
Alter Difficulty: Very Easy for "Very Easy" reality alterations
Easy for "Easy" reality alterations
Moderate for "Moderate" reality alterations
Difficult for "Difficult" reality alterations
Very Difficult for "Very Difficult" alterations
Heroic for permanent, massive, all-encompassing, Zero-Hour, Crises on
Infinite Earths reality
alterations
The power may be kept "up" as long as the reality alteration requires it.
This power is affected by proximity and relationship.
Effect:
Using the Kiber Crystal - Using the Crystal acts as a free Force Point
for the duration of its use.
Unlocking the full potential of the Kiber Crystal - Unlocking the full
potential allows for the user to "alter the reality of the universe" and
other miraculous feats.

Converting the excellent Marvel series into a SWRPG campaign.
Enjoy.
