Desh

Desh was a very flexible, but less sturdy, naturally occurring metallic element used to protect droids during the centuries surrounding the Great Sith War and the War of the Star Forge.

When combined with another type of alloy, desh armor plating became a very cost-effective means of shielding droids from external damage; maranium was often one such recombinant that cut the weight and expense, but at the cost to the overall durability.

When combined with terenthium, it produced a super-light alloy which was used by OmoTact Corporation to manufacture skyships like the Roahks 7m Skyship.
