Quadanium steel/Legends

Quadanium steel or Quadanium alloy was an extremely durable metallic substance. The surface of the first and second Death Stars were made of Quadanium steel. The planet Despayre was a source of Quadanium for the construction of the first Death Star. In addition, during the construction of the first Death Star, there were proposals for a completely encased Quadanium-steel-laden hull or a partial construction of Quadanium steel for the hull of the battlestation. The TIE/LN starfighter and all of its descendants were also made of Quadanium steel.
Quadanium was a registered trademark within the Empire.
