Priorite

Priorite was a valuable mineral found across the Outer Rim planet Koboh. Prior to 9 BBY, the mineral became the target of a community of prospectors and a currency accepted by Doma Dendra at her shop in the Rambler's Reach Outpost. Some priorite shards could also be found on the planet Coruscant. Indeed, the search for priorite was a driving force for the Koboh economy, drawing in many hopeful prospectors to mine the planet for it. Some groups employed mining droids to search for priorite. Others modified the natural landscape to find more lodes of the mineral, including the establishments of several dams in Dredger Gorge, directing the flow of tar away. Many prospectors lost their lives in the pursuit of priorite, killed by either the dangerous fauna of Koboh lurking in the cave systems, cave-ins, or by the Bedlam Raiders, who laid claim to much of the territory near Rambler's Reach Outpost. Fool's Priorite was a substance that could be passed off as the real thing.
