Karlini silk
Canon Linked from 12 articles
Karlini silk was a type of silk that was one of the principal exports of the planet Karlinus. It was imported on Naboo, Karlinus' neighbor in the Chommell sector. Useful for its ability to resist blaster bolts when woven into cloth, Karlini silk was used in clothing made for the Queen of Naboo.
During her time as queen, Padmé Amidala owned several garments made of Karlini silk, including a black traveling gown and an under-robe worn with a set of flame-colored robes. The pieces served both as protection and as camouflage while she hid among her handmaidens to escape the Trade Federation's invasion of Naboo.
