Uranium was a heavy radioactive metal used in the creation of nuclear weapons and power facilities. The decay of uranium, when occurring within a planet, heated the rock of the planet's crust. Uranium was composed of tiny particles, some of which were quarks.

Ruusan was said to have significant deposits of uranium.^[1]

Hoersch-Kessel ion engines, the most popular ion drive in the Empire, ran best on uranium or other heavy metal.^[2]
