Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]

The metal aurodium, which first appears in Rogue Planet, was presented as the Star Wars version of gold; however, gold has been identified simply as "gold" in other sources. It is uncertain whether gold is identical to aurodium. In the real world, "Au" is the chemical symbol for gold in the periodic table and a common prefix for gold-related words.

In Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, the strategic resource of gold was replaced with nova crystals.
