Neutronium was a heavy metallic element used in the production of durasteel as well as dura-armor. It was also once used to make strong blades for melee weapons during the Great Sith War. The hull cladding of Acclamator-class assault ships was impregnated with neutronium, as its ultra-dispersive characteristics allowed for high protection.
Behind the scenes
In popular scientific literature and science fiction, though rarely in formal scientific literature, the term "neutronium" is often used for the extremely dense matter at the cores of neutron stars.
According to Cracken's Threat Dossier, neutronium is a naturally occurring metal that can be found in mineral veins on moons.
