Well, the easiest thing to do there is make the phylactery take damage as if it were a human, so you have to hide it somewhere with an atmosphere in a comfortable temperature range. That'd prevent someone from flying off to one of the asteroids and just tucking it away there without a lot of effort.

This kit contains everything you need to turn yourself into an undying[1] monstrosity and no one will be any the wiser[2]. All you have to do is take the Automatic Phylacterizer, scan the item you wish it to become, and then press it against your chest to rip your heart and soul out to complete the process. Be sure to hide your unassuming[3] phyalctery somewhere safe! As a lich death will be more like a quick nap[4] so when a staff assistant comes along and toolboxes you all you have to do is wait a moment for the dread necromantic energies to reinvigorate your body so you can peel your battered corpse off the ground and get your revenge! Loose an arm or a leg? Just slap that sucker back on and it'll be good as new[5]! Just make sure you don't get thrown in the gibber[6]!

[1] If your phylactery is destroyed so are you.
[2] Medical crew may notice the lack of heart if you are scanned.
[3] The phylacteries are known to produce strange noises, such as the sound of a beating heart, farting, or the screams of the damned.
[4] Length of time spent unconscious after being killed before being revived grows longer with each revival. Death by fire and being drained by changelings have been known to exacerbate this problem.
[5] Clinical trials have shown that once killed, the body will decay as normal despite the necromantic energies animating it. A diet of embalming fluid is recommended to maintain a life-like appearance.
[6] While the enzymatic reclaimer, gibber, and crusher will not truly kill you so long as your phylactery is intact they will reduce you to a pile of animated undead gore rendering you largely harmless.

Syndicate Bible
This edition of the Bible is loaded with a pneumatically driven blade in its spine. The blade is made from materials infused with powerful anesthesia so the victim won't feel a thing when it pierces their flesh. The internal air tank has enough for two uses but may be refilled using canisters found around the station.

considering how common gibbing is as a method for dealing with traitors and how easy it is to do and the fact that presumably this is gonna be a 10 crystal deal, you wouldn't want this to be so easy to counter. I'd say add to this that when you are gibbed, reclaimed, crushed, or otherwise reduced to a red smear on the ground you will eventually reform from whatever the largest chunk left of you was, wherever it may be.

For example, if you were left as a pile of meat on the ground from a trip through the gibber, you will reform from a chunk of that meat after a given(quite long, several minutes at least) period of time. If the meat is just sitting there you'll pop back into existence from it, if somebody ate it you'll explode out of their stomach, if you were run through the reclaimer you'll either pop out of the reclaimer or out of someone who was cloned afterwards, etc.

The Satanic bible
Spoiler!

A reskinned bible with a reversed cross (cross facing down) In a fiery red binding. This evil book lets you praise your evil lord by smacking people in the face and setting them on fire instantly on contact. It Also has a small chance to blow off a random limb of the person its used on. If a human limb is put into the book has chance of summoning a demonic creature (That may or may not attack the holder of the book) Grant a protection aura against random damage (Not 100% immunity but it helps a lot during a rampage)(Blue aura means you can breath when there is no oxygen for a short period of time. Green means you're resistant to toxin damage, etc) Also farting on it gibs the person and makes a demonic monster spawn from the remains. Possibly comes with a special cool looking robe that may or may not be needed to use the book

I don't really get a "kill everyone in a buffed up unstoppable berserker rampage and eat their hearts" kind of feel from chaplain; he seems more of the type to work divine miracles like transforming water into (incredibly potent) wine.
