Catalyst reactant cradle

A catalyst reactant cradle, also simply known as a reactant cradle, is a piece of technology that was often found at salvage yards such as Niima Outpost on the desert planet Jakku, where it could be cleaned and sold by scavengers. The cradle's sheath could be made of quadanium steel, a metal used in the construction of ships. However, in the event of a wrecked starship, reactant cradles were not easily salvageable, with many scavengers opting to attempt to restore more useful scrap pieces.
