Koboh Matter

Koboh Matter, also known as Koboh dust, was a highly volatile substance believed to have originated from deep within the Koboh Abyss. There was an abundance of this substance on Koboh's moon, which led to the construction of the Republic Research Laboratory there to study the unique anomalous material. The gaseous substance sometimes combined into thick, solid strands that retained their highly magnetized properties. All forms of standard manipulation, including lightsaber strikes, were ineffective against its structure when in solid form. As a dust, the substance was rapidly fatal upon inhalation by humans. Koboh Matter was able to be repelled by energized orbs created during the High Republic Era. Republic scientists researching the mysterious Koboh Matter, noticed that Rawkas seemed to have a natural immunity to the substance, leading them to hypothesize that their feathers may be somewhat magnetized. It was poorly understood by 9 BBY.
