PRODUCTION INFORMATION

• Manufacturer: Braze
• Affiliation: Refuge, Respite, authorized refugees, relief workers, sanctuary personnel, and individuals personally entrusted with a Token by Braze.
• Market Status: Closed-Market
• Model: Token of Recall: Refuge
• Modularity: Yes. The Token's imbued core can be removed and placed within different compatible casings, allowing it to take the form of various small charms, trinkets, or pieces of jewelry. Changing the exterior casing does not alter the Token's function, activation requirements, or attunement to Refuge.
• Production: Semi-Unique
• Material: Blackened durasteel, matte ceramic, leather, precious metal, crystal focusing lattice, cut gemstone, Alkahest-prepared materials, and Arcanist inscriptions. Exact materials vary according to the Token's form and intended bearer.

---

PHYSICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Classification: Wearable Force-imbued recall trinket
• Size: Very Small
• Weight: Very Light
• Typical Dimensions: Approximately 1.5 to 5 cm along the Token's longest dimension
• Available Forms: Ring, pendant, bead, wristband setting, choker ornament, identification tag, coin, brooch, clothing fastener, or another similarly small personal object
• Appearance: Every Token is made to resemble ordinary jewelry, a keepsake, or an inconspicuous personal possession. Its design is carefully selected for the intended bearer rather than copied from a standard casing.

---

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Personally Handcrafted: Every Token is personally designed, prepared, imbued, attuned, and completed by Braze. They are not assembled through conventional mass-production methods.
• Carefully Tailored: Each Token's casing is selected or crafted for a particular bearer. Its size, ornamentation, method of wear, and means of concealing the core's activation mechanism may be tailored to that individual's needs and circumstances.
• Imbued Item: Each Token is permanently imbued using Imbue Item. The completed Token may benefit a non-Force-sensitive bearer.
• Hyperspace Tunneling: When correctly activated, the Token uses Hyperspace Tunneling to create a temporary hyper tunnel through which its bearer and accompanying individuals may travel.
• Refuge Attunement: Arcanistry permanently confines the Token's imbued ability to a prepared arrival point within the Respite Jedi Temple on Refuge. It cannot select or travel to another destination.
• Concealed Activation: Every Token possesses a subtle activation method incorporated into its imbued core. Compatible casings are designed to conceal and provide access to this mechanism without altering how the Token functions. This may involve turning a ring setting, pressing concealed contact points, rotating a gemstone, aligning engraved markings, or performing another deliberate physical sequence known to its bearer.
• Inconspicuous Design: The Token's function is concealed behind the appearance of ordinary jewelry, a keepsake, identification marker, or small personal ornament.

---

STRENGTHS

• A Road to Refuge: The Token creates a temporary hyper tunnel capable of transporting its bearer and accompanying individuals across great distances to its prepared arrival point within the Respite Jedi Temple on Refuge.

---

WEAKNESSES

• One Road Home: Every Token of Recall: Refuge is permanently connected to its prepared arrival point within the Respite Jedi Temple. It cannot select another destination, provide general transportation, or create a return passage to the location from which it was activated.
• Dependent upon the Force: Force-nullification prevents the Token from creating or sustaining its hyper tunnel.
• Hidden Function: A bearer must understand the Token's concealed activation method and consciously perform the correct physical sequence. The Token cannot be activated accidentally, through uninformed handling, or by someone who does not know how that particular Token functions.

DESCRIPTION

The Token of Recall: Refuge is a collection of small humanitarian artifacts personally handcrafted by Braze. They are entrusted to people at risk of displacement, captivity, isolation, or separation from established relief networks. Every Token is permanently connected to a prepared arrival point within the Respite Jedi Temple on Refuge, preserving one concealed road back to sanctuary.

Tokens are not produced from a standard mold or assembled along a conventional production line. Braze carefully selects or designs each casing for its intended bearer. A Token may take the form of a ring engraved with a storm lantern, a tiny bead hidden among clothing or hair, a round setting fixed to a leather wristband, a choker ornament, a small identification tag, or a pendant shaped after an object of personal importance. Their forms differ, but each is deliberately kept small, light, and inconspicuous.

Creating even one Token requires extensive work. Its materials must be selected, shaped, prepared through Alkahest craft, inscribed through Arcanistry, permanently imbued, and attuned to the prepared arrival point within the Respite Jedi Temple. The core's activation method must then be concealed within its chosen casing and taught to its intended bearer. Their Semi-Unique production reflects the time, precision, effort, and personal attention required to complete each individual piece.

Each Token is prepared through the methods recorded within The Study of the Hidden Arts. Alkahest craft prepares the physical vessel to bear an enduring Force effect. Imbue Item permanently places Hyperspace Tunneling within the object. Arcanistry confines that ability to the prepared destination on Refuge.

The Token does not create a new form of teleportation. Its transportation function remains limited to Hyperspace Tunneling. When correctly activated, it creates a temporary hyper tunnel capable of transporting its bearer and accompanying individuals across great distances to the Respite Jedi Temple.

The Token cannot detect danger, activate automatically, compel someone to travel, seize an unwilling target, or select another destination. Force-nullifying effects prevent its operation. Its unobtrusive design also means that possession alone is insufficient; someone must know how that particular Token was constructed to activate it successfully.

As always I enjoy your level of attention to detail!

Available Forms: Ring, pendant, bead, wristband setting, choker ornament, identification tag, coin, brooch, clothing fastener, or another similarly small personal object

In the factory we no longer allow for multiple variants within a single submission. Unfortunately, if you wish to have multiple forms, you’ll have to submit for each form individually.

Secondly, Arcanistry seems to be a critical component and Force power used in the construction of this submission. Can you please provide a link to a Canon or Legends source for Arcanistry?

Please tag me when this is ready.

I have updated the Modularity field for clarity. There are no functional variants of the Token; only its aesthetic casing changes. The same imbued core may be housed within different compatible charms, trinkets, or pieces of jewelry without altering its abilities, activation requirements, or attunement. Marking it as modular should make the distinction between the artifact's functional core and its interchangeable exterior more apparent.

I would also like to clarify that Arcanistry is simply my in-character colloquialism for practices with existing Canon and Legends precedent. This terminology is detailed in The Study of the Hidden Arts. The relevant sources—Hyperspace Tunneling, Imbue Item, and the Jal Shey—were already included in the original submission.

I'll be taking over this submission.

Could you please clarify a few things for me.

1) You've said that unless someone knows the specific activation sequence someone is unable to use a token, however if someone spends enough time trying to figure out these sequences that can be figured out? As it currently is written it feels very absolute.

2) Can you please clarify what you mean by clarifying individuals. Do they have to be touching the person activating the artifact for example?

Thank you for taking over the review!

1. Yes, someone could figure out the activation sequence through study or trial and error. The intent is simply that its function and activation method are concealed. I can revise the weakness to read:

“Hidden Function: Activation requires a concealed physical sequence. Someone unfamiliar with the Token may discover this sequence through examination, experimentation, or instruction.”

2. By “accompanying individuals,” I mean others who physically enter the temporary tunnel while it is open. They do not need to touch the bearer; each person must pass through the opening to travel to the destination. I can revise the feature to read:

“Hyperspace Tunneling: When activated, the Token creates a temporary hyper tunnel leading to its prepared arrival point. The bearer and other individuals may travel by physically entering the tunnel while it remains open. Physical contact with the bearer is not required.”

 

[John Locke]

Braze

For point one that seems to be a good change, if you could please make it yes.

As for point 2, how long does the portal you're discussing remain open? Since it's something that can be used by NFUs that would seem to indicate that it runs on a timer.

 

[Braze]

In Star Wars Rebels, Season 4, Episode 7, “Kindred,” the sequence surrounding the Loth-wolves’ passage runs from approximately 16:08 to 17:21, covering 73 seconds of screen time. This includes preparation, travel, and arrival, so it offers an approximate reference rather than an exact duration for the passage itself. The scene does not establish a fixed timer or explain what causes the effect to end.

For this artifact, I would suggest a deliberate deactivation sequence. The imbuement sustains the passage after activation, allowing a non-Force-sensitive bearer to operate it without personally maintaining the effect through the Force. The bearer would close the passage once the accompanying individuals have finished crossing.

I can clarify this in the submission as follows:

“Once activated, the passage is sustained by the Token’s imbuement until the bearer performs its physical deactivation sequence. Neither activation nor deactivation requires the bearer to be Force-sensitive. Force-nullification prevents the Token from creating or sustaining the passage.”

 

[John Locke]

Braze

Transport between worlds requires a lot of energy, we can see the toll it took on Luke to just project an image between worlds.

I'm not comfortable with an open-ended deactivation sequence, the token only have so much power after all so I would prefer a maximum opening time, so that they're not being left open for long periods of time.

Would the updates in pink below suffice?

They are meant to cover the points you raised:

• Hidden function: Sequence can still be learned by examination, experimentation, or instruction.
• Accompanying individuals physically step through the mouth. They do not have to touch the bearer. Mouth is five meters by eight meters. Bearer plus eight.
• Timer for NFU use: the Token itself holds the passage for ninety seconds, then spends itself. A non-Force-sensitive cannot extend that.
• No open-ended close: ninety seconds is the stored cap. Reverse the sequence to close early, or Respite cuts it from the Temple end. At the cap it collapses even if people are still coming.
• Energy: time past ninety seconds is not more charge in the object. A Force-sensitive who can reach the Token may feed it at personal cost. If they stop, the passage dies. Hard stop at three minutes from initial aperture. After it closes the Token is dark and will not reopen on more Force.

If ninety seconds or the three-minute ceiling still reads long for a wearable, I can tighten either number.

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Personally Handcrafted: Every Token is personally designed, prepared, imbued, attuned, and completed by Braze. They are not assembled through conventional mass-production methods.
• Carefully Tailored: Each Token's casing is selected or crafted for a particular bearer. Its size, ornamentation, method of wear, and means of concealing the core's activation mechanism may be tailored to that individual's needs and circumstances.
• Imbued Item: Each Token is permanently imbued using Imbue Item. The completed Token may benefit a non-Force-sensitive bearer.
• Hyperspace Tunneling: When the Token's concealed physical sequence is completed, it uses Hyperspace Tunneling to create a temporary hyper tunnel to its prepared arrival point. The mouth is approximately five (5) meters high and eight (8) meters across. The bearer and other individuals travel by physically entering that mouth while it remains open. Physical contact with the bearer is not required. The passage does not remain open beyond its maximum window.
• Refuge Attunement: Arcanistry permanently confines the Token's imbued ability to a prepared arrival point within the Respite Jedi Temple on Refuge. It cannot select or travel to another destination.
• Dormant by Default: Each Token remains inert. No path exists, and nothing on the far side can simply connect and arrive. A tunnel is not present until the bearer completes that Token's concealed physical sequence.
• Concealed Activation: Every Token has a subtle physical sequence built into its imbued core and casing. Compatible casings conceal that motion without changing how the Token functions. This may be turning a ring setting, pressing concealed contact points, rotating a gemstone, aligning engraved markings, or another finite motion particular to that piece. An accidental bump does nothing. An incomplete or incorrect motion does nothing.
• Stored Window: The Token's own imbuement will hold the passage for a maximum of ninety (90) seconds from the instant the aperture appears. A non-Force-sensitive bearer cannot extend that window.
• Force Sustain: A Force-sensitive who can physically reach the Token may supply it with their own energy through the Force and hold the mouth after the stored charge is spent. This is a live feed, not additional stored power. The feeder must keep that connection for as long as the extra time is wanted.
• Hard Ceiling: Even with a live feed, the passage cannot remain open for more than three (3) minutes from the instant the aperture appears. At three minutes the Token cuts the link. No amount of additional Force energy will hold it past that mark.
• Very Small Window: Completing the sequence leaves only a very small window to pass. The Token holds the mouth by itself for ninety (90) seconds. A Force-sensitive may then feed it to a hard maximum of three (3) minutes from aperture. At the end of whichever limit applies, the Token cuts the charge and the passage collapses, whether or not anyone is still approaching it.
• Controlled Disconnect: The bearer may collapse the tunnel early by reversing the same physical sequence. The prepared arrival threshold at the Respite Jedi Temple may also cut the link. Either action drops the connection at once, including an unauthorized opening.
• Inconspicuous Design: The Token's function is concealed behind the appearance of ordinary jewelry, a keepsake, identification marker, or small personal ornament.

---

STRENGTHS

• A Road to Refuge: The Token creates a temporary hyper tunnel capable of transporting its bearer and up to eight accompanying individuals across great distances to its prepared arrival point within the Respite Jedi Temple on Refuge. The mouth is five meters by eight meters. Travelers must physically enter that mouth while the window remains open.
• Early Close: Reversing the Token's physical sequence, or a cut from the Temple end, collapses the path at once.
• Force Sustain: A Force-sensitive who can reach the Token may spend their own energy to hold the five-by-eight-meter mouth after the stored ninety seconds, up to three minutes from aperture.

---

WEAKNESSES

• One Road Home: Every Token of Recall: Refuge is permanently connected to its prepared arrival point within the Respite Jedi Temple. It cannot select another destination, provide general transportation, or create a return passage to the location from which it was activated.
• Dependent upon the Force: Force-nullification prevents the Token from creating or sustaining its hyper tunnel and collapses a passage already open.
• Hidden Function: Activation requires a concealed physical sequence. Someone unfamiliar with the Token may discover this sequence through examination, experimentation, or instruction.
• Inert Until Used: Until the sequence is completed, there is no tunnel. A bearer who cannot perform that motion gets nothing.
• Very Small Window: Ninety (90) seconds on the Token's own charge. Three (3) minutes absolute, even if a Force-sensitive is feeding it. After that the hole is gone.
• Live Feed Has a Toll: Holding the passage past the stored window costs the feeder the same way a long-range Force projection costs. The feeder must keep the connection. They cannot treat that effort as free. If they stop, lose consciousness, are interrupted, or are forced off the Token, the passage collapses.
• Fixed Profile: Five meters by eight meters. Anything that does not fit that rectangle stays behind.
• Occupancy Cap: Bearer plus eight. A ninth person does not get a second window.
• No Defense While Open: While the tunnel is up the Token does one job. It does not shield, cloak, or strike. The aperture is visible, audible, and Force-bright.
• Spent Charge: After the passage closes, the Token is dark. It cannot be brought online again until its imbued charge recovers over several hours, or is restored at Respite. A Force-sensitive cannot immediately reopen it by throwing more energy at a spent Token.
