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

Quadanium steel or Quadanium alloy was an extremely durable metallic substance. The surface of the first and second Death Stars were made of Quadanium steel. The planet Despayre was a source of Quadanium for the construction of the first Death Star. In addition, during the construction of the first Death Star, there were proposals for a completely encased Quadanium-steel-laden hull or a partial construction of Quadanium steel for the hull of the battlestation. The TIE/LN starfighter and all of its descendants were also made of Quadanium steel.

Quadanium was a registered trademark within the Empire.
