Fulstar plate

Fulstar plates were magnetized metal components critical to hyperdrive use.

Fulstar plates with round sides only worked in T-65 X-wing starfighters, and Rebel quartermasters kept a supply of round fulstar plates on hand. Zilnor was a known supplier of triangular and pentagonal fulstar plates. The Millennium Falcon required a square red fulstar plate for safe hyperspace travel.

At some point during the Galactic Civil War, C-3PO and R2-D2 attempted to assist Han Solo and Chewbacca with critical repairs to the Falcon by locating a fulstar plate that Captain Solo needed. A supply room aboard the Falcon held a number of square plates, but C-3PO's photoreceptors were damaged and unable to identify the correct plate. After a process of trial and error, he was able to bring the correct plate to Solo.
