Radiation/Legends

Radiation was a deadly byproduct of many natural and artificial substances.

It was categorized into 5 phases, with Phase 5 being the deadliest.

The Galactic Empire created the elite Radiation Zone Assault Trooper, or Radtrooper, to work in environments saturated in radioactivity.

Natural radiation of all kinds was emitted from stars, as well as certain materials and elements, and even volcanic rocks on various planets such as Qat Chrystac.

Radiation would also be emitted as propulsion from certain types of spacecraft as ion particles in twin ion engines, and from certain atmospheric speeders.
