Cyphrite

Cyphrite was a type of ore that could be found on the moon Okala Five. It could be used to created a powerful toxin when it was mixed with tolium gas. The Galactic Republic banned the use of cyphrite during the Clone Wars, which resulted in the destruction of star maps leading to the ore's deposits, except for the one on Okala Five. It was said that the moon contained 2.8 trillion tons of pure cyphrite ore. In 3 ABY, a Kessel Sabacc tournament was held aboard the casino cruiser Morenia with the grand prize being Okala Five's coordinates. Imperial Governor Thorden plotted to acquire the coordinates in order to use the toxin as weapon to maintain his own empire.
