The Cartusion whale was a species of whale whose bones were used to inlay lightsaber hilts. During the Clone Wars, a series of conflicts fought between the Galactic Republic and the breakaway Confederacy of Independent Systems, the architect droid Huyang told a group of Jedi younglings aboard the Crucible that a Cartusion whalebone-infused hilt was an option as they began the process of building their lightsabers.
The Cartusion whale was first mentioned in "A Test of Strength," the seventh episode of the canon animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars fifth season, which originally aired on November 10, 2012.
