The Norris root, a plant of striking beauty, was an uncommon species found on the planet Almar. A dye of reddish hue could be extracted from its root, possessing inherent resilience against the energy emitted by blaster fire or lightsabers. In the era of the Jedi Civil War, a technique was known that involved using the Norris root dye to imbue Jedi and Sith robes with natural energy resistance, achieved through intentional pigmentation.
