Composer

The Composer, also known as The Crucible or the Star Forge, is a really overpowered piece of technology. It basically looks like a small gyroscope with a ruby-like crystal in the centre. It can do anything, from changing the chemical makeup of anything, to destroying anything at the molecular level. It was created by an unknown species that dates back billions of years, even before the Precursors. Its first recorded use was by the Precursors as an experiment to create life, and it ended up creating Cybertron and all its inhabitants as well as their power source, the Allspark. The Precursors then lost the Composer and for thousands of years it drifted though space until it was found by the Forerunners and used to destroy the Flood, but, as is the case with everthing the Forerunners do, it failed miserably. It then went missing for millions of years (Again).

It was rediscovered by Darth Malak and his boss Revan (Who is in no way related to Rarth Devan). These two used it to make loads of big warships and attacked the Republic with them. However, thanks to the efforts of Trask Ulgo and his buddy Devan, the Star Forge was accidently destroyed above Rakata Prime during a circus performance a mere 5 years after being discovered. However it recomposed itself somehow and was used millions of years later.

The plans for the new Composer were found by the Protheans during the Reaper Invasion and they started to rebuild it, believing it to be a superweapon which could be used to wipe out the Reapers. However, they failed because they all died before they could finish building it. The Composer and the plans went missing once again. However, the plans were found on Mars in 2186 by the crew of the Normandy. The rebuilding efforts began again.

Around the same time, another Composer was being constructed by the Didact on Requiem. Whilst dormant, the Didact had instructed his Prometheans to build a Composer using plans stored in the Forerunner Domain from centuries earlier. However, by a stroke of luck, the Didact recovered the actual Composer, and stored the duplicate on Installation 03.

Meanwhile, the Prothean Composer was the saving grace for the forces of the Galaxy during the Reaper War, during which it was used as a weapon against the Reapers. The Humans, during the Thirty-Eight-Hundreth Battle of Earth, fired out a big blue energy pulse from the Composer (Known as The Crucible at the time) which shut down all Reapers in the Galaxy as it travelled through the Mass Relays. When the Reapers reacitvated, they were suddenly friendly to everyone and offered to help rebuild. However, the inferior design of the Crucible meant that it was blasted into oblivion in the process - or so everybody thought. It was in fact taken into the Medusa Cascade, a time-altering nebula, and was used by the Daleks to house their crappy Reality Bomb.

Meanwhile, back on Requiem, the Didact was attacked by Jorgey who bullied the Didact into giving up the real, original Composer, which Jorgey then used to reconstruct New Reach and build his race of Reachites. This meant that the Didact had to slog his way to Installation 03 to recover the crappier Composer that didn't work properly at this point. However, he didn't seem to care, all he wanted to do was disintergrate Humans. It was then destroyed by Johnny using a HAVOK nuke. Meanwhile, the Doctor destroyed the Crucible and killed all the Daleks on board, eliminating the last of the copy Composers, leaving Jorgey's the last one in existence.

The remaining Composer is currently still under the protection of League Lord Protector Jorgey, who only authorises the use of the device to terraform the many barren planets in the Galaxy.
