Question
I told my minion Khem Val to synth me some pants, and three minutes later, I am notified that he has been "extremely successful", and has synth'd me a pair of "exceptional" pants.
The item now has an "augment" slot, and it looks to be modifiable in the same way that orange items are... but I don't see anything about augments when browsing the mods vendors - only hilts, barrels, enhancements, etc. No Augments.
So what is an augment? Where can I get them?
Answer
Augments are gained from Slicing. They can't be bought from vendors, but you should find plenty of them on the GTN thanks to Slicings popularity.
As to what they are? Well, as you've noticed, they're an item modification slot that's only found on crafted items. They're added when a companion 'crits' on their Crafting task, and are the key means by which crafted items differentiate themselves as superior to drops or the stuff you might get from a vendor or a quest reward.
