Translation Talisman, according to the quasi-historical Qel-Droma Epics, was a Sith talisman that was worn around the neck, and featured a fist-sized golden scarab with a Sith glyph on its carapace. Its wearer could instantly understand the Force-imbued writings of Sith scrolls and spellbooks. Krath leader Satal Keto found one on Onderon and reproduced it to train his fellow Krath. It was considered one of the most prized relics sought by Qel-Droma Epics scholars.[1]
