DESCRIPTION
The universe has always been an object of infinite, unfathomable complexity. But now, thanks to a unique combination of exotic and highly volatile materials, anyone with access to a significant amount of electricity can poke the cosmic bear. Connected to higher dimensions by a means not entirely understood by mortal men, some entrepreneuring scientist in some secluded corner of the galaxy chose to tinker with Hypergems by wrapping them in a double layered sphere of Isotope 5 and Ultrachrome. Ultrachrome, for its part, is fairly straight forward. Superconductive and possessing an extraordinary thermal dissipating property, Ultrachrome is the perfect material for channeling raw energy into the exotic, volatile, and highly explosive exotic element known as Isotope 5. Isotope 5, far more than the highly radioactive fuel source most of the galaxy has reduced it to, is capable of producing powerful, yet highly predictable distortions on existing electromagnetic and gravitational fields. Effecting neither one or the other, Isotope 5 always effects both gravity and electromagnetism to the best of its ability.
With this alone, any entrepreneur could produce a wide range of exotic results in their scientific pursuits. However, nestled at the center of these spheres of near suicidal intent, rests a solitary Hypergem. Forged in the heart of neutron stars and made of some of the strangest materials in the known universe, Hypergems possess a "crystalline planar network that extends into higher dimensions" (-Wookieepedia). For the few individuals who knew of such object, they were aware that mortal minds, "accustomed to only three spatial dimensions and one temporal dimension" (-wookieepedia), could easily go insane attempting to fully grasp the "multidimensional lattice" of these crystals. Whichever scientist originally conceived of these spheres, did so knowing that attempting to understand the nature of Hypergems through base observation was fruitless and courted self destruction.
So, in the manner of all good scientists, the inventor of these spheres skipped straight into experimental applications and chose to instead study the properties of Hypergems through manipulation and application.
While no living soul knows the fate of that surely mad scientist, a handful of these spheres have been found scattered about the galaxy. And for those rare few who find themselves in possession of such an artifact, they are soon to find themselves with the power of the cosmos in the palm of their hand.
Now if only they knew what they were doing...
