Cale Darksun Plus it would be horribly out of date at this time. Finding parts and equipment for it would prove to be a difficult task and I'm not certain she can even keep up with Legacy era fighters. Hrm, how about this, then? They find it all broken down in Skull Base, and attempt to rebuild it. It doesn't quite succeed, but Rusty manages to figure out it's schematics and such after jacking into it. Then, a quest ensues, in addition to whatever community business Freya's on, to build a modern version of it. Hrm ... you sure Link doesn't want any o' this stuff? ^^;;

What Schematics?
You plan on reverse engineering a 132 year old fighter design?
The design, despite its obvious nod to jet fighter craft, is the brainchild of a Duros Genius (Who was eliminated when it was clear that the project wasnt going to pay off.)
The only people who know that fighter are Cale and Cambot. One's Dead. The other's now a historical advisor at the Corellian Space Museum and a guest lecturer at the Coronat Univeristy. And with such a cushy job, Cambot would be hardpressed to find a reason to clue you in to how the Phoenix worked.
As for Link.......
Why does everyone and their mother think that all jedi are fighter aces?
Link doesnt' know how to fly a fighter. He's not even that good of a pilot.
And theres no way a Jedi can afford to continually pay for repair and maintenance on an outdated High-performance StarFighter.
He barely has enough cash to pay for food.

Theres a reason why Cale kept the Phoenix in a storage shed for a good chunk of his career.
Until he became a Pirate King, he couldn't always afford to have it running right.
A Starfighter needs an hour of maintenance for every 30 minute flight.
Or something like that.

Is it possible to find a real bigass crystal on Ilium? Like the size of the crystals found on mygeeto as a power source?
I need something about the size of a man, preferably larger.

It's certainly possible, though a volcanic world like Sullust would have a better chance of producing a huge crystal.

Yes, but Sullust is too obvious. Plus, It doesn't need to be gigantic, its only a focusing point of the power core. And besides, crystals from Sullust don't channel the power of the Force into a blast from Project Coldspear.

See, I don't really know.
I'm not so in tune on how big the crystals used in the Death Star were, so I cannot really say.

A lightsaber crystal is hand held. This crystal is man sized.
I need to begin excavating it if I am to succeed for episode II to have a superweapon.

No, I mean what you should do is take the average size of a lightsaber crystal, factor in that it takes three of them for a blade, then calculate how big a crystal it would take to create a beam that could blow up a planet.
Theres no telling what the range of a lightsaber beam is, since its a perpetually looping and cycling energy beam.

Its basically the Death Star's beam, but not designed to destroy a planet outright.

*shrug*
well, I tried.
Can't really help you though. I just recomended a method for determining the size of the rock based on what I thought was somewhat similar: a focusing crystal.

Its more of an excuse for Ferno to fight off Hiko than to find one, but the crystals of Ilium would probably be very powerful for being focusing crystals.
Mygeeto just happened to be convienient for Palps. I have no convienence for Ferno.

Do you need one?
Everyone knows that Illum exists.
Its just most Jedi have forgoten that they can get Crystals there.
Most prefer to make their own crystals.
However, Ferno's historical Studies are bound to uncover something of Illum and its Crystal wealth.
