Transparisteel, a resilient and see-through alloy, found its main use in the construction of windows and various components of starfighters, notably cockpit canopies. Lommite ore served as a key ingredient in transparisteel's creation. It was possible to manufacture transparisteel windows with resistance to blaster fire, exemplified by their use in the Galactic Empire's TIE/ln space superiority starfighter; however, they remained vulnerable to lightsaber attacks.
Transparisteel was the material used to form the eye sockets within Darth Vader's iconic helmet.
In the year 3 ABY, transparisteel was available for purchase across the galaxy at a price of seventy credits per unit, including on such planets as Akiva, Kijimi, and Tatooine, as well as the moon of Toshara.
