Unidentified Jedi scout

A Jedi scout, whose name was lost to history, used Force-assisted hyperspace navigation to discover the remote planet Ilum thousands of years before the Battle of Yavin. The scout reported Ilum as a great resonance, but did not find any sentient life or ruins on the planet. However, unbeknownst to the scout, Ilum was rich with kyber crystals, used to construct Jedi lightsabers.
