Leviathan Gem

The Leviathan Gem was a green-colored gemstone that was a royal jewel of the Nautolan species of the planet Glee Anselm. Along with the sacred firestone of King Skrawll, the royal jewel of the planet's Anselmi species, it was crafted into a valuable statue called the Hope of Glee Anselm that eventually came to rest in the Republic Museum. When the Galactic Republic attempted to broker a peace treaty around 33 BBY to end a war between the Anselmi and the Nautolans, the Republic's Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum authorized the release of the statue to the people of Glee Anselm.

The handing-off of the artifact was planned to take place at the Regional Republic Headquarters on Jaloria, but the Hope of Glee Anselm was secretly replaced with a forgery by the Nautolan Ambassador Fiarok, who had been indirectly recruited by Count Dooku. While the real statue was kept at the ambassador's guest quarters, the counterfeit version was stolen from the presentation ceremony by a crew of thieves. The sole surviving thief, Nakano Lash, took the fake statue with her when she was transported off Jaloria, and eventually the bounty hunters Aurra Sing and Jango Fett tracked her down on the planet Roxuli, where she shattered the brittle forgery to reveal that it was a fake. Afterward, Fett revealed Fiarok's theft to the Republic governor Tok and the delegates, and the real Hope of Glee Anselm was recovered, although Sing had stolen both of the royal jewels.
