Zamaraan Crystals are a major component in medical scanners.

The crystals are formed after tons of mineral compounds are washed up on the shores of chemically toxic seas of Mudupas (Dagudashaag 2817). The compounds, on reacting with elements in the corrosive atmosphere, take five days to crystallize into the crystals. The currents and atmospheric conditions occur only once every 217 day, the length of the local year.

Each year, after the crystals have been collected, various traders come to Mudupas to buy the crystals at auction. Among the buyers are Imperial and corporate officials, traders and the occasional sightseer. Mudupas has contracts with various organizations that between them have automatic purchase rights to eighty per cent of all crystals on offer.
