Electrum

Legends Canon version → Linked from 17 articles

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

Electrum was a rare metal once used in lightsaber construction as a sign of Force mastery. This lightsaber modification was called an Electrum Detail or Electrum Detailing. A purely cosmetic accessory, this feature was only allowed to high-ranking Jedi, an honor bestowed on Masters at their promotions, after having demonstrated their skill. It was a rarity among Force-users, both Jedi and Sith.

During the Cold War, between Galactic Republic and Sith Empire, electrum was used to build heavy armor, including Mandalorian armor.

Mace Windu was known to have used an Electrum hilt for his lightsaber, as was Darth Sidious. This Electrum detail gives the lightsaber hilt a distinctive gold color. Electrum was also used to make jewelry. Electrum was mined on several planets, including Abregado-rae and Duros.
