Zersium
this element was used in the formation of dura-armor and durasteel. During the years following the Great Sith War, zersium was used to create blaster rifles. During the era of the new Order, Strephan I'att and Daye Azur-Jamin discovered that zersium flecks, imbedded in the black body glove worn by stormtroopers, helped amplify the energy dissipation field they created for I'att Armaments. It also provided additional insulation and helped reduce thermal discomfort when the field absorbed a blaster bolt.
