Ashes of Malachor, rumored to be concocted by smugglers who stumbled upon the legendary planet of Malachor, was a substance that could be ingested. This substance was allegedly created by grinding up the skeletal remains of Jedi and Sith warriors who had fought on the planet many years in the past. The resulting ashes contained a trapped, malevolent essence; consuming them was said to amplify the consumer's strength and skill with the dark side, but at the expense of their ethical compass.
