Krath has gathered artefacts from around the galaxy to be stored in security. These are relics of a bygone era, long lost to civilisation but discovered once again, and on display for sentients around the galaxy. Below is a list of artefacts that have been recovered along with their discoverers. Those that are owned by others but shown here for display are listed as ‘On Display’.
Bacca’s Ceremonial Blade
Discoverer: Cirxis Cronossk
Planet: Kashyyyk
Although little is known about the sword, it is said to have been upgradable and in so, becoming a far stronger weapon. Designed as a slashing weapon, with a curved point, it was also a very strong melee sword. An interesting note, is that all parties were permitted to use the sword, as long as he or she had the prowess to wield it. As stated, the sword was forged from debris from a ship, but what components of ore went into the making of it, is not known.
Black Sphere
Discoverer: Ellias Aubec
Planet: Shesharile III
The Black Sphere is a ball of naturally occurring carbonite that has specks of white impurities within its surface, giving the impression that it contained stars and galaxies. It was found within a stash of crates that were brought with the Krath when they left Empress Teta, where the Black Sphere was originally found during carbonite mining and smelting operations.
Ceremonial Chair
Discoverer: Cirxis Cronossk
Planet: Kashyyyk
A wooden structure, with a round base and seat. Sides of the chair are constructed out of irregular wood, probably crafted from the forks of tree branches. Cut to size. The arm rests are curved flat wood manipulated and joined at the top in a peek. The inlay of the back of the chair is treated leather from an unknown creature. Decorated with a circular pattern and held in place by dark tanned leather strapping. This strapping is also formed in an ornate lattice work area at the top. Hanging from the peek is a decoration with an open circular centrepiece, topped with Avian feathers.
Ceremonial Table
Discoverer: Cirxis Cronossk
Planet: Kashyyyk
The table rests on three rounded solid block legs made of wood. The table top is of irregular shape wider at one end and tapering inward at the other. The surface of the table has two circular concave indentations. The circles are connected by a simple broad rectangular inlay, which is crafted from a different species of wood to the rest of the table. The purpose of the circle indentations is not known.

Mandalore’s Mask
Discoverer: Kai Oryk
Planet: Kuar

The Mask of Mandalore – “Te buy’ce be Mand’alor” in Mando’a – could be considered an item of legend, were it not for its ability to unite the clans of the Mandalorians throughout their turbulent times in history.
An iconic war mask, worn only by Mandalore – the leader of the Mandalorian clans – carries with it the great battles that were faced by Mandalorian warriors, as well as featuring the famous T-visor known to be one of the main images related to Mandalorians.
The history of the mask is as unknown to outsiders as the Mandalorians themselves. It is said to have originated around the time of Mandalore the First, becoming a mark of leadership, with only those warriors who had proven themselves worthy in the eyes of their Mandalorian brethren receiving it upon the passing of the Mandalore before them.
Despite the ritualistic passing of the mask to the next successor, the mask (and its former wearer) became lost and for many years, the Mandalorians were without the leader their culture called upon to lead them, leaving the clans to scatter without a leader and the culture to fall from its former glory. It wasn’t until a Mandalorian came across clues from a roonstone that contained familiar markings, that a journey was undertaken to find mask and its former wearer.
Following the hints provided from former battles, a small group led by the Mandalorian who had found the roonstone clue, were able to find a ruined building deep within the forests of Kuar, which was littered with the long dead bodies of Mandalorians, still wearing their armour. Upon further inspection, deep within the ruins, the long sought after answer to the question of where the last true Mandalore and the mask had disappeared was found.
Signs within the ruin point to a great battle having taken place between the Mandalorians and another group of warriors, with no clear sign of a victor but many having fallen. Upon finding the mask, the Mandalorian staked claim to the legendary title of Mandalore, having already moved to unite the clans.
Mystical Centerpiece
Discoverer: Cirxis Cronossk
Planet: Kashyyyk
Resting on a mable like stone is the main pedistal. A crude design of sculpted stone extruded inwardly to form a fluted ring. Atop this is a disk like structure, decorated with circular patterns faded with the march of time. Situated in the center, a tall display, made from native wood and decorated at the top with feathers from local avian creatures. The center of this display, rests a blue sphere of unknown properties. The Centerpiece.
Plaque of Victory
Discoverer: Ellias Aubec
Planet: Aaris III
The Plaque of Victory is a semi-sentient object that feeds off of emotions and the life-force of those around it, causing paranoia and homicidal intentions of those around them. It was discovered on Aaris III around 2,000 years ago, and caused the downfall of the Aaris civilisation as they tore themselves to pieces.
Sith Amulet
Discoverer: Ellias Aubec
Planet: Empress Teta
This is the amulet gifted to Satal Keto by King Ommin of Onderon so he could read the Sith spellbook he had recovered from Coruscant. It was given when Satal and Aleema Keto braved a Republic blockade of Onderon roughly 4,000 years ago, and they found their way to the King. After being given the amulet, they recovered their spellbook and escaped the Republic invasion and managed to return to their homeworld.
Sith Spellbook

This ancient spellbook was recovered by Satal and Aleema Keto from the Museum of Dark Side Antiquities on Coruscant around 4,000 years ago.
