Phrik/Legends

Phrik alloy was a rare metallic compound that was one of only a few lightsaber-resistant substances known. It was used in the construction of extremely light and durable battle armor as well as melee weapons.

One major source of phrik was the phrikite mines of Gromas 16 as well as sources of tydirium which would be combined to make this compound. Phrik was very expensive, and as a result it saw limited use in warfare.'

This subtance is also used to make Bail Organa's data holocron in Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron that the player must recover form the remains of Alderaan.

History
The Arkanian Camper devised it on his own before the Mandalorian Wars, and may in fact have been its inventor. Millennia before the Galactic Civil War, the extinct Fenelar used phrik in the creation of their armor. It was later used in the polearms of IG-100 MagnaGuards' electrostaffs and Palpatine's lightsaber, as well as the armor of dark troopers

The Galactic Empire recognized the strategic value of phrik and nationalized all phrik mining operations as it became aware of them. However many small-scale mining facilities remained unknown to the Empire and continued to process the ore for other clients, including local governments, rebel organizations and crime syndicates.

Incase the Rebel Base on Yavin IV should ever be discovered, Bail Organa created a holocron containing information on a list of other possible replacement planets. This holocron was left on Alderaan at the time of its destruction. However, the phrik container was so very durable that it was able to withstand the Death Star's attack, and was later picked up by Han Solo's Renegade Squadron in order to find a new base.
