Diatium

Diatium is strange mineral used since the beggining of the Republic. It is one of the main components of a lightsaber. The element in its natural form has an unstable structure, which tends to stabilisation using a fision reaction. This could be dangerous to the user but, the new element has powerfull magnetic properties, wich makes certainly impossible for the radiation to scape, dealing damage to the user. The axis of the magnetic field focuses the produced energy during the fision, to the lightsaber´s main cristal. The new element is itself unstable too, tending to its stabilisation by a fusion reaction. As a result, a higher amount of energy is created closing the circle, making diatrium an inexhaustible power source.
