On the PTS a new vendor has appeared that sells new colored crystals for millions of credits. SWTOR community member Eortotai has summed up all the crystals and their costs for us on the SWTOR forums. Check out what we should expect to see.

About the vendor: This vendor showed up in the updated patch notes for patch 1.1.5. It was stated that this vendor would be on the Imperial and Republic Fleets until Game Update 1.2, when they will be bringing about a major overhaul for most, if not all, crew skills.
