Pre-New Tython History
The Sunrider Ring began its life decades before being given to its first, and most well-known, owner, Nomi Sunrder. The ring is in fact a natural occurring, Force-sensitive, crystal formation otherwise known as a Shard. The precise circumstances of its “birth” are a mystery, as is its uncommon appearance as a small ring-shaped crystal. Raised on the planet of Orax in the Outer Rim Territories, it was part of a larger group of Shard. Nestling itself close to its larger brothers as it slowly grew into its current form inside one of the planets many hot springs, it lead a quiet and peaceful life while being submerged in the currents of The Force. Eons passed by as the Shard population grew and clusters between individuals formed; as its brothers grew and sprouted offspring, this lone Shard had somehow stopped growing when it reached the size of a common finger ring. This also caused it to be unable to sprout offspring and contribute to the Shard population.
It would remain on Orax until 4,019 BBY, when Andur Sunrider stumbled upon the planet during a mission to investigate a disturbance in the Force, sensed by his master Chamma. The young Shard, who was at that time, one of the few Force-sensitive members of its species, sensed Andur and the Force imprint that his wife Nomi left upon him. The Shard beckoned out to Andur, who’s Force sense allowed him to pick up on the Shard’s location. What he found was a small, teal, crystalline ring, unbeknownst to him a living, sentient creature. Thinking it to be a perfect gift for his wife, he brought it with him back to H’rathh.
And so it came to be, that the young, nameless Shard found its way to Nomi Sunrider. From the very first time that Nomi touched the Shard, a powerful Force Bond was formed between the two of them. Its true nature still unknown to all sentients through-out the Galaxy, the Shard was able to join Nomi on her countless journeys and battles, and learn. Nomi’s own devotion to the Light Side of the Force had its effect on the Shard, slowly engulfing it in the Light of the Force. This in turn had its effects on Nomi, who, through the Shard’s own stalwart connection to the Light side, became known as one of the most respected Jedi of her time.
Somewhere in her life, Nomi would stumble upon an undiscovered world inhabited by a primitive, tribal species. It is widely believed that some time before this, the Shard had developed the ability to telepathically converse with Nomi. Due to as of yet unknown circumstances, the Shard seemingly chose to remain on this unknown world. Nomi, who met the Shard thanks to her late husband, was suspected to be saddened by its choice but respected it none the less. Though they separated ways after that, the Force bond between them had never vanished, not until Nomi’s eventual death. The Shard however continued to live on, into a new age on Harakoa.

- The ring was written out as a Shard in order to bridge the gap between: a wearable artifact, and a holocron/tome/scroll.
