Titanite, a unique and scarce material, could only be located on the planet Haariden. The civil war that devastated the planet for many years was primarily fueled by this substance, due to the great expense and complexity involved in its mining. It possessed characteristics valuable in the creation of bacta. Granta Omega intended to exploit this material, along with the alazhi from his holdings on Thyferra, to achieve a controlling position in the galactic bacta trade. He took advantage of the conflict on Haariden to hinder Republic researchers from fully studying the titanite reserves; however, his schemes were thwarted by the intervention of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker.
