- "It's what the smelter used that day."
- ―Emperor Palpatine to Bevel Lemelisk, after he wondered why molten copper was used for his execution
Copper was an element that could be mined throughout the galaxy. Chalcopyrite and malachite were both copper-based ores.[2]
It was a byproduct of the seas of Sriluur with the cities of the Copper Coast often covered with a coppery fog composed of sea spray and chemicals that could harm the skin of sensitive species.
One of Bevel Lemelisk's many executions was being dipped in molten copper, largely because it was what the smelter was using that day.
Copper Phthalocyanine Blue, a type of copper variant, was mixed with 4-Dimethylaminobenzene to produce the spice variant Booster Blue.
Ruusan was said to have significant deposits of copper.[3]
Around the time of the Battle of Yavin, the Aii`tkian Anthropologists and the O.S.S. D-502 Junk Guild discovered a new strain of copper in the Dantooine system's Area D-502. Aii`tkian scientists then investigated whether it could be used by local starshipwrights, such as Tenna Ghii'anna, to manufacture starship parts.[4]
