'''Plasma''' was one of the five fundamental states of matter, the other four being solid, liquid, gas and supercritical fluid. Made of a loose mixture of positive and negative charged particles, plasma was the most abundant form of matter in [[The galaxy/Legends|the galaxy]]. It was naturally produced in [[Star/Legends|stars]], and a rarefied form of it filled the intergalactic regions. It was created when a gas got ionized at high temperature, energized or subjected to a strong electromagnetic field.

Plasma was one of the five fundamental states of matter, the other four being solid, liquid, gas and supercritical fluid. Made of a loose mixture of positive and negative charged particles, plasma was the most abundant form of matter in the galaxy. It was naturally produced in stars, and a rarefied form of it filled the intergalactic regions. It was created when a gas got ionized at high temperature, energized or subjected to a strong electromagnetic field.

BlasTech DC-model blasters from the Clone Wars fired blue, plasma-based rounds, using the ionic charge of plasma very efficiently against droids.

Blasters and Disruptors shoot magnetically contained plasma.

In the mines on Oovo IV a tool called the Gasifier turned rock into plasma.

Plasma fires could burn for years. After a mining accident at the Mesa 291 lidium mine on Bothawui, plasma fires raged for at least two generations below the surface.[1]
