  • Working in exposure to Kyber for long periods of time normally can cause headaches and loss of sleep. The Heart of Palpatine's corrupted nature disrupts sleep with terrible nightmares and can cause splitting headaches to those not attuned to the Dark Side of the Force
  • Deep mediation on the crystal can cause hallucinations of carrying degrees. As the crystal is inhabited by the souls of those sacrificed for its creation as well as the memories of those that died centuries ago when Byss was originally destroyed it was possible to have experiences from the fear of being kidnapped, the fear of slowly feeling your life drain away, the intense pain of an explosion, to the heart stopping cold that are the last vestiges of Palpatine himself.
  • Purified Hearts lose the corrupting nature and headaches and hallucinations but lack any of the benefits gained through using the corrupted Hearts of Palpatine.
DESCRIPTION
Corrupted by the Dark Side and created out of a misguided wish for immortality, the Heart of Palpatine was a dangerous and volatile variation of Kyber Crystal that was discovered on Byss by Jedi scouts after the Battle of Byss. The result of a dangerous ritual that used the lives of many captured souls, the Heart of Palpatine was to be Darth Xul's ticket to immortality. Instead, the ritual was disrupted and in her hanger the Sith Lord fractured the massive kyber crystal that was to be used, splintering it into various sized chunks. The ritual was restarted and nearly completed before a strike team of Jedi defeated the Sith lord and captured the citadel where the ritual was being held. The disruption of the ritual and the shattering of the crystal caused the crystal, filled with the angry souls of Byss to drain absorb the very Sith that sought to use the power of the crystal for themselves, leaving nothing but robes of the Sith of the Frozen Hand. The only survivor was Darth Xul, who was left in a maddened comatose state. The few lives that had been taken in the ritual partially succeeded in coaxing much of the Dark energies that surround the Byss system into the crystals through a form of mass bleeding. The bleeding left the crystals blackened by the ancient Sith Lord Darth Sidious's remnants along with the pain of all that perished all those centuries ago at Byss when the planet was destroyed and the surrounding fleets were eradicated.

The Heart of Palpatine was a dangerous Sith construct. Within it held the souls of countless beings alongside the hundreds of Sith of the Frozen Hand. Named for the great Sith Lord that once called Byss his home it was believed that a part of his soul was scattered throughout the crystals as well. A lightsaber made with this crystal was shown to have cutting power exceeding that of a normal lightsaber and it also seemed to siphon the vitality of those it cut. While a Jedi could not meditate on the crystal for long without intense headaches or vivid and violent visions, acolytes of the Dark Side could glimpse into the mind of a Dark Lord and the shattered mind of the crystal itself. Ravenous in its hunger to complete itself again the crystal drains the life of its user, opening an avenue for a practitioner of the Dark Side to learn the coveted and rare ability of Force Drain.

The few shards of kyber that had been affected were then taken to be studied by the Jedi Order and various Republic Intelligence groups resulting in the crystal spreading in virtually every direction of the Galaxy. While the largest chunk of the corrupted Kyber was taken to the floating Jedi Peace Station, various Jedi either in their hubris or wish to keep the crystal safe from others took small shards for themselves. There was at least one person rumored to have the crystal shards lodged in his body. ( Jerec Asyr Jerec Asyr )
