Gambler Mentality

Attacking Christophsis was by no means a simple matter.

Christophsis had a diameter of 9,465 kilometers and was entirely covered in bluish-green crystalline formations.

It was one of the most economically developed planets in the Outer Rim Territories. Located near the Corellian Trade Route and close to Hutt Space, it neighbored Tatooine, a key transportation hub on the edge of Hutt Space. At the same time, it was also very close to the Rodian planet.

As a planet with seemingly inexhaustible crystal resources, Christophsis had received enormous attention from the very beginning.

The planet had long suffered asteroid impacts. Six hundred years ago, nobles from Tepasi, a commercial center in the Core Worlds, paid an enormous sum to artificially create a moon beside Christophsis. The moon's gravity, along with the defensive systems installed on it, was used to prevent asteroid strikes.

Its vast resource reserves brought astronomical profits. The huge demand for labor drew in a never-ending stream of immigrants, while mining companies and trading companies sprang up like mushrooms after rain. Although the planet was still some distance from the Corellian Trade Route and transportation could not be called developed, Tatooine was nearby after all, so smuggling was also extremely thriving on this planet.

Countless smugglers traveled back and forth between Christophsis and Tatooine, selling illegally mined crystals through every possible channel on the black market before shipping them into every dark corner of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Many gangs and illegal organizations recruited Force-sensitive individuals with a trace of Force talent but not enough to catch the Jedi Order's eye. They bought low-purity Kyber Crystals on the black market and made them into crude weapons such as inferior Lightsabers to put on a show. Many of those Kyber Crystals came from Christophsis.

Incidentally, those Lightsabers really were just
