Quadanium steel,[1] or simply quadanium, was a metallic substance. It was used in the construction of ships and battle stations.[2]
The hull of the Death Star was made of rectangular plates of quadanium.[2] Some catalyst reactant cradles had a quadanium sheath.[3] The First Order flagship Supremacy had quadanium armor plating.[4] The solar arrays of TIE fighter wings were framed by rigid quadanium steel foil as well.[5]
