The Jewel of Yavin was slated from the beginning to be a thrilling, action-packed jewel heist, a sort of "Ocean's 11 meets Star Wars". What better place to set the stage for a high-stakes caper than the Cloud City on Bespin?
During the adventure, the Player Characters are hired by a local Pantoran crime boss to steal the "unstealable" Jewel of Yavin, a brilliant corusca gem—not once, but twice. Corusca gems are mined deep in the gas layers of Yavin Prime and are used throughout the galaxy in decorations and heavy industry. Legends say they can also serve as the focusing crystal in lightsabers. Either way, they are worth more than enough to help a down-on-their-luck crew pay down some Obligation or purchase a brand new starship.
