Carbon/Legends

Carbon was a nonmetallic element with an atomic number of 6. It was the primary element in most of the sentient life of the Galaxy, including Humans and most humanoid races. Carbon was used in the manufacture of such substances as duraplast and durasteel. It could found in naturally occurring crystal form as diamonds. It was also found in tibanna gas and carbonite.

In order to manufacture building-grade duraplast, carbon had to be extracted, mostly from trees, such as oak trees, and other local resources. This could be accomplished by logging and extracting carbon from timber, or by mining coal or carbon-heavy rocks.

Most lifeforms in the galaxy were carbon-based, with a few notable exceptions, such as the crystalline Tsil of Nam Chorios and the silica-based mynocks.
