[edit] Characteristics

Trihexalon was infamous in the Karthakk system as a deadly and highly dangerous weapon; so much so that the Galactic Republic banned trihexalon because of its deadly potential.[4] It was known to cause complete biomass conversion in a target,[3] and could be refined to target individual beings[1] or for use as a planetary bombardment weapon.[4] In weapon form, trihexalon was a dust-like substance that gave off a toxic, green glow. Small doses were commonly held in vials, and would react upon release, causing a chemical explosion capable of disintegrating Humanoids. A single, palm-sized vial could potentially kill three hundred Wookiees.[1]

[edit] History

Captain Cavik Toth of Sabaoth Squadron first tested it by launching missiles and sending bombers to destroy Point Modie on Maramere, which would have killed approximately one thousand civilians had Jedi Master Adi Gallia not intervened and destroyed the missiles launched before impact, with the help of the Lok Revenants. She decided the threat should be eliminated, teaming up with the space pirate Nym and his crew.[4] They broke through the orbital defenses at Nod Kartha, the planet churning out Hex weapons.[3] With precision flying and teamwork, they were able to stop the further production of such weapons.[5]

During the Battle of Geonosis, Toth brought a fleet of Hex Deployers and Bombers to help the Confederacy of Independent Systems triumph over the Republic. Jedi Master Adi Gallia, her Padawan, Siri Tachi, Nym, and his Revenants plus a squadron of other Jedi, foiled Toth's evil ambitions by destroying his fleet of Hex weapons. Toth himself was killed in the battle.[6]
