While Tedronai was out of his ship collecting plant samples, someone entered his ship and made off with the only removable part:
The Repulsor-Lift Focal Core.
The RLFC is the device that focuses the random quark particles emitted from the fusion/fission reactor housing (FroZen, feel free to draw a picture of it and add all the necessary details ).
The Repulsor-Lift is the main anti-gravity drive that nullifies gravity by warping space and riding the energy waves produced by it (kinda like the effect caused when squeezing your hand on a wet bar of soap). This causes it to fly the same in a vacuum and an atmosphere.
Anyhooo... His ship is protected with a Chameleon Cloaking device that allows it to appear to be something that blends into its landing zone. Normally people see it as a rock, or a mound of dirt, or some such thing.
But this band of local hoodlums happened to have a blind member that couldn't see the misleading cloaking shield and, while feeling his way along, he accidentally wandered into the ship.
His companions saw him shimmer into the hill and followed him in. After wandering around for a short time, they came across the RLFC suspended in its anti-radiation gravity field. To their primitive eyes it looked like a cantaloupe-sized diamond egg floating in the air. Course they took it (little pricks) and hid it in their hangout.
They are a gang, they are kids, they have a hideout.
