The Vor'Na'Tu was an ancient Jedi artifact. What powers the item held are unknown.
Echuu Shen-Jon held the Vor'Na'Tu in secret during his self-imposed exile on Krant. It is unclear if he acquired the crystal before going into exile or after. For over twenty years the Jedi Master hid the powerful crystal until a Bothan spy informed Leia Organa that an Imperial landing force managed to recover the artifact.
With the assistance of a group of Rebel Alliance and Wookiee warriors whom he met on Krant, Shen-Jon led an assault on the moon Geddes where the Imperial forces had hid the Vor'Na'Tu. After destroying the Sith Temple guarding the crystal, Shen-Jon attempted to flee, but was cut down by Darth Vader, who was sent to retrieve the artifact for his master, Emperor Palpatine. Shen-Jon, fearing the results of the Vor'Na'Tu falling into the Emperor's hands, shattered the item into four pieces, rendering it useless to Vader.
Years later, as Geddes was terraformed and colonized as Hanoon, the colonists found the shards and held them as valuable relics in their cities. A New Republic task force led by Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo returned to the asteroid to retrieve the shards.
Skywalker succeeded in securing the shards from the settlements, and the artifact was ground to dust and scattered to the solar winds.
