Phrik was a rare metallic compound that was one of only a few lightsaber-resistant substances known. It was used in the construction of extremely light and durable battle armor[1] as well as melee weapons.
One major source of phrik was the phrikite mines of Gromas 16 which would be combined with tydirium[2] to make this compound. Phrik was extremely durable and light, but it was also very expensive and as a result it saw limited use in warfare.
History
The armor of the dark troopers,[3] were made of phrik. Phrik, while in its smelting stage, was highly malleable, and could be combined with a number of other ores, alloys, and compounds to imbue the phrik's properties with others.[source?]
The Galactic Empire recognized the strategic value of phrik and nationalized all phrik mining operations as it became aware of them. However, many small-scale mining facilities remained unknown to the Empire and continued to process the ore for other clients, including local governments, Rebel organizations, and crime syndicates, most notably Rendili.[1]
