As the Exile searched for Force-infused crystals to harvest for eventual placement in a lightsaber, she came upon the glowing crystal formation in which she found the crystal that bound itself to her, a rare phenomenon, according to Kreia. After the Exile defeated the kinrath matriarch and her hatchlings, Kreia, one of her companions and informal Jedi master, informed her that the cavern was a Force-sensitive location in which crystals absorbed and reflected Force energy.

The Exile and two of her companions arrived at the crystal cave, and the group fought their way through the kinrath hive in the tunnels to the last cavern, the location of the nest. The Jedi offered to eliminate the kinrath hive that Zherron believed to be located in a cave in the nearby Khoonda plains.

During her visit to Khoonda for information-the seat of the Dantooine government-she was informed by Zherron, the captain of the Khoonda Militia, of a problem concerning attacks from the insectoid kinrath on local settlers. In the year 3,951 BBY, in the wake of the Jedi Civil War, the Jedi Exile-exiled from the Jedi Order for defying the Council's wishes during the Mandalorian Wars-and her companions arrived on the Outer Rim world of Dantooine in search of Jedi Master Vrook Lamar. The use of the crystal as a lightsaber focus enhanced the potency of the other components and subsidiary crystals used in the lightsaber's construction, as well as ensuring that the weapon could only be used by the Exile. The crystal was light-to-white in color and, as the Exile matured in the Force, the depth of the crystal's power manifested itself by turning the glow of the crystal from translucent to a near-blinding, radiating light. In turn, the crystal was capable of augmenting the Exile's own powers and physical finesse. Upon discovery by the Jedi Exile, the crystal formed a bond with her, and as such, acquired its character and strength from the Exile's own relationship with the Force. The naturally-formed crystal absorbed excess energy from beings who were attuned to the Force.
