Quadanium steel, often shortened to just quadanium, represented a type of metallic material. Its application was widespread in the creation of both ships and heavily fortified battle stations.
Quadanium was the primary component in the rectangular hull plating of the DS-1 Orbital Battle Station. Furthermore, certain catalyst reactant cradles were protected by a quadanium exterior. The First Order's mighty flagship, the Supremacy, incorporated quadanium as a key element in its armor plating. Even the solar arrays found on the wings of TIE fighter models utilized rigid quadanium steel foil for framing purposes.
The utilization of quadanium extended to the production of diverse offensive and defensive systems for starships, encompassing weaponry such as LC-70 laser cannons, C-K10A rapid fire cannons, C-K12B rapid fire cannons, C-5B plasburst cannons, C-10 plasburst cannons, CM-2 Arana cluster missiles, PT-240 proton torpedos, T-350 torpedos, M-1O4 ion missiles, M-1O8 ion missiles, TU-C6 laser turrets, IT-11 ion turrets as well as protective measures like S50C deflector shields.
During 3 ABY, a single unit of quadanium was typically priced at thirty credits and available from numerous vendors across the galaxy, including those operating on planets like Toshara, Kijimi, Tatooine, and Akiva.
