- Miner health impacted due to foreseen workload circumstances.
Padawan Security Clearance
Information available to Padawans+
- The miners seemed to have been getting attacked by wildlife, and experienced severe headaches when exiting the mines themselves. One rancor attacked the outpost within the Veyra Mining Consortium.
- Upon investigating the source of the headaches, the miners were accumulating force-imbued crystals.
Information available to Knights+
- The mining operation ran by the Veyra Mining Consortium are selling large quantities of Force-imbued crystals.
- Upon field study, the people within had no changes to their physiology, and no illness was evidenced by scans and cursory observation.
- The mines within raised the potential of already Force-sensitive individuals, as if the location itself felt like a Force Nexus. It was an overpowering sensation due to it's potency.
- But once the individual is removed from within, the prolonged exposure causes them to receive headaches due to them being withdrawn from the location.
- A sample of the crystal was recovered by Jedi Knight Rizka.
Jedi Council Clearance

Summary and Actions
Upon reaching the destination, the first contact we had was with a miner who was on his break. Posing a few questions to get more information, we did manage to get a scan from him which came out clean. There was nothing interfering within his biological state. The individual did however complain about migraines, and informed us that everyone was affected. We were then pointed to the direction of the foreman.
The foreman was elusive at the start, and we posed as investigators for the J.D.D. to uncover more information. He led us to the mining sites, to which both Knight Rizka and myself felt the surge of the Force. On our way to the entrance of the cave, we were waylaid by a Rancor who caused a couple of casualties. My personal opinion would be that what was being mined also caused the fauna to be more hostile and powerful due to the influence of the Force.
Once the Rancor was dispatched, the hesitant foreman led us inside the mines where we've located the crystal-rich tunnels. Our mere presence caused nausea that we had to grow accustomed to. We've witnessed an argument with one of the miners, where one used telekinesis on the other.
While Knight Rizka remained to question the foreman about our discovery of them selling Force-imbued crystals, I have ran an experiment on the miner to confirm that he was indeed Force sensitive, and the sheer richness of the Force raised his capacity to at least a younger padawan levels of aptitude. Though upon leaving said mines with him, his potential remained, yet lessened due to the lack of influence. And this is where the headaches began to set in.
Providing him with some medicine, I returned back to the mines in the aims of finding out more. I managed to distract the foreman enough for Knight Rizka to take a few samples before we were asked to leave the premises.
My recommendations are as follows...
- Shutting down the Veyra mining operation. Who knows who would be using these crystals and for what kind of purpose.
- Any individuals that are marked as Force sensitive, have them enroll into one of the Praxeums for their own safety if possible.
- Analyze the samples to determine what nature of crystal has been already shipped to the galaxy at large, for preventive measures.
