Hypermatter

"You see? That indicates a hypermatter particle leak. The damage is at a microscopic level, likely localized to one of the several hundred radiation refractors in the Thunderstrike. It's not enough to impact efficiency—but it could leave a trail for Darth Vader to follow."

- M2-M5, engineering droid of the Sixty-First Mobile Infantry

Hypermatter was a fuel for use in hyperdrives. The main materials of hypermatter could be formed when solar radiation came into contact with the core of a planet, as is the case in the Redhurne system. On Redhurne, hypermatter was collected by droids for use by the Galactic Empire. A hypermatter leak in a starship's radiation refractors could leave a trail of particles that could be found and followed.
