Detonite

C-25 fragmentation grenades, containing detonite

Detonite was an explosive material used in bombs.

The C-25 fragmentation grenade consisted of a sphere of baradium-impregnated detonite encased in a conductive shell.

During the Galactic Civil War, some members of the Empire's Stormtrooper Corps lost limbs when their armor was pierced by shrapnel from Alliance to Restore the Republic bombs, made of detonite.

In 3 ABY, the Empire had a supply of compact detonite at their outpost in the Northern Jundland Wastes region of the desert planet Tatooine.
