Lobi Crystals (or LCs) are an account-bound currency used to buy specialty items from the Lobi Crystal Consortium on Drozana Station. They are obtainable by opening various lockboxes and by completing feature episode-missions during re-runs (15 
per mission, per day, and user account).
Lobi Crystals are bound to account, and are tradeable between characters via the account bank but not through the Exchange or messages. Some items that can be purchased using Lobi Crystals can themselves be traded.
Item Information
Lobi crystals are the semiprecious stone used in the production of inexpensive jewelry and ornaments. They are generally perceived as low in value due to their lack of uniform crystalline structure. However, an eccentric Ferengi collector has recently begun buying them up in bulk for use in a bizarre economic experiment.

Timeline Change Imminent! This article contains information that no longer applies to the current version of Star Trek Online. It is provided only for historical purposes. |
This is part of the rerun of the Featured Series event started on May 3, 2012 and of the Featured Series event started on December 6, 2012. Most hidden Lobi Locations can be found by scanning the area and following the beam. Each lobi crystal is hidden in an object. Inspect that object to obtain a Lobi Crystal. This only works if you are close enough and no other scannable object is near.
