Durasilk represented just one material option for creating tents. Tents crafted using technologically superior durasilk could also feature integrated, self-deploying memory support structures.
The initial reference to durasilk appeared within Gadgets and Gear, a roleplaying game supplement from Fantasy Flight Games published in 2019 and considered canon. Within the Star Wars Legends timeline, the material durasilk was initially presented in Elaine Cunningham's 2002 novel, The New Jedi Order: Dark Journey.
