Tass root

Tass root, also known simply as tass, was a kind of plant native to the planet Ruusan. When powdered, mixed with the flowers from the scintil vine, and dampened with water, it formed a highly corrosive paste that could eat through rock and metal. In 990 BBY, Darovit, a hermit living on Ruusan, used the paste to sabotage the construction of a monument being built in the Valley of the Jedi to honor the Jedi of the Army of Light who sacrificed their lives to destroy the Brotherhood of Darkness.
