Duranium

Legends Canon version → Linked from 29 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Duranium was a metallic alloy with high tensile strength. It was much stronger than either transparisteel or bronzium. It was extremely durable, light, and was capable of withstanding a glancing blow from a lightsaber. It also had a very high melting point, making it difficult to shape.

It was often used to make prison cells and cages.
