Canon Linked from 32 articles
Kalkite was a mineral useful in coating reactor lenses. It could be found on the planet Ghorman in deep substrate foliated deposits. By 4 BBY, the Galactic Empire enacted efforts to declare martial law on the planet in order to extract the kalkite and use it in the construction of the Death Star superweapon. These efforts resulted in the Ghorman Massacre of 2 BBY in order to declare martial law and strip mine Ghorman.
