Desh/Legends

Desh is a very flexible, but less-sturdy, metal used to protect droids during the centuries surrounding the Great Sith War and the War of the Star Forge.

When combined with another type of alloy, desh armor plating became a very cost-effective means of shielding droids from external damage; maranium was often one such recombinant that cut the weight and expense, but at the cost to the overall durability.
