Transparisteel was a hard and completely transparent metal alloy. This made it a commonly used material for starship viewports, and the windows of strongholds, and other buildings where security was a must. In starship viewports, transparisteel could be made photosensitive to become more opaque near bright explosions, while traveling through hyperspace, and such. A major component in the make-up of transparisteel was lommite.

Transparisteel was much weaker than its opaque counterpart durasteel.

Darth Krayt encased Kol Skywalker's lightsaber in transparisteel to honor him.^[1]

Transparisteel was used in the windows of Skimmersubs.^[2]

Padmé Amidala had a transparisteel amulet made by her parents when she became the Queen of Naboo.^[3][4]
