Ostrine

Ostrine was a mineral found on Hargeeva. It had the property of absorbing great amounts of heat, lending to its use in armor plating for stormtroopers and other Imperial soldiers. Its properties were multiplied by ten-fold when Ketrian Altronel discovered that crystalline manipulation and plas-bonding of certain trace elements modified it.

Defecting to the Rebel Alliance, Altronel would help increase the firepower of T-65 X-wing starfighters by adding the formula to the housings of its laser cannons.
