Corellian epoxy

Corellian epoxy was a type of adhesive with strong bonding power, such that the Spindragon, a YT-1200 medium freighter, was held together with a combination of the epoxy and welds of various soldering mixtures. Around 22 BBY, the clone Advanced Recon Commando A-98 known as "Nate" encountered the Spindragon on the planet Ord Cestus whilst deployed on a mission. He noticed the melded nature of the vessel and its joins, the use of Corellian epoxy, and their apparent ability to weather high-gravity turns, giving his approval. The strength of the joins was later put to the test when the ship's pilot, Sheeka Tull, performed evasive maneuvers to escape the planet's security forces including sharp turns, flips, and rolls. Corellian epoxy shared its name with the Corellian culture, which originated on the planet Corellia.
