| Kaiburr was once the homeworld of House Dinaari when the Dark Brotherhood was still attached to the Emperor's Hammer. Since the mass exodus the planet is now uninhabited, though much of it's Kaiburr crystals stores were mined and transported with the rest of the House's goods.

| The planet Kaiburr got its name from its one and only export, the Kaiburr Crystals. Until recently, Lightsaber technology relied on the use of the very rare Adega Crystals or technologically produced artificial substitutes. The Kaiburr Crystal, although not as efficient as the Adegan Crystal and requiring replacement every 1-2 months due to natural crystal degradation, they are far more efficient than the artificial crystals commonly in use following the Battle of Endor. In addition, their power output and ease of focusing emulate the desirable natural Adegan Crystals.

| Over 3,000 years ago Karanan legend tells of a jedi master being drawn to this planet due to the crystals and formed a secret order of dark jedi called the "Obelisk". He and his followers carved a great Citadel planetside decorated with thousands of shards of Kaiburr Crystal. It is unknown what ultimately happened to this order.
| | The early Karanans knew nothing of Kaiburr per se, though their mythos provided that objects more distant from their homeworld were higher in the supernatural order. The gods had to live somewhere. When a small group of [[StarWars:Dark Jedi/Legends|Dark Jedi]] arrived in the system sometime around [[StarWars:3400 BBY/Legends|3400 BBY]] they exploited this belief in order to rule the primitives from afar. Their full reasoning may never be known, but it is likely they chose to settle Kaiburr to bask in the dark energies of its ancient cataclysm, for easy access to the local crystal supply, and to extend the range of their sensors out of the system. Their philosophy was apparently similar to the modern [[StarWars:Obelisk (order)|Obelisk]], though it should be noted that there is no evidence of a connection to the students of Alaiedon. |
