Beskar,[1] also known as Mandalorian iron,[2] was an alloy used in Mandalorian armor, notable for its high tolerance to extreme forms of damage. The metal was durable enough to withstand a direct blaster shot,[3] and could potentially withstand the slash[4] or glancing blow[5] of a lightsaber, though could be penetrated with a direct stab.[6] A superweapon created by the Mandalorian Sabine Wren and used by the Galactic Empire, called the Arc Pulse Generator, was capable of superheating the metal to the point that it would burn to a crisp everything it was protecting, as in the case of Mandalorian warriors covered behind their beskar armor.[1]
