Quadanium steel or Quadanium alloy was an extremely durable metallic substance. The surface of the first and second Death Stars were made of quadanium steel. The planet Despayre was a source of quadanium for the construction of the first Death Star. In addition, during the construction of the first Death Star, there were also proposals for a completely encased Quadanium steel-laden hull or a partial construction of Quadanium steel for the hull of the battlestation. Quadanium was a registered trademark within the Empire. The TIE/LN starfighter and all of its descedents were also made out of Quadanium steel.
