Color: Unlike normal duranium ore, this ore has a white tone with a faint glow to it, as though all color had been removed from the ore.
SPECIAL FEATURES
Duranium ore, known most for its high melting point among other steels, was known as a potential prize for the Confederacy, when they freed Holyin's southern hemisphere from the all corrupting influence of the Nothing. With the people's permission, provided they only used clean methods to mine, they began to search for potential deposits, sending surveyors to hunt the recovering land. At first all they found were corpses, or the hungry and scared inhabitants unable to return home, until they made a strange discovery. Strange white ore, which had to it the faintest of glows.
Several groups converged to study the material, until a Force User was brought in to investigate. Immediately they made the discovery that the ore, which had been confirmed as Duranium, had become infused with the lightside of the Force. The working hypothesis became that when planet was cleansed with Light, it seeped into every nook and cranny it could. It was known that the darkside had tainted the very earth, so that same Light must have become a part of the land, trapping itself in the ore they had discovered.
Other deposits were soon found, showing that this ore deposit was not the sole source, and that perhaps the underused deposits had become near repositories for the strange metal. The Viceroy @Aya Clarke formally named the metal Fod'an Xaxi'a, Hoylin Steel in Ryl, and began to control the use of the metal as it was experimented on. With some effort it was determined that the metal's new lightside nature made it resistant to the darkside itself, though it was determined to be nowhere near foolproof. And, should the metal be put in a field produced by an Ysalmari or voidstone, its additional effects and resistant capabilities were lost until the field was removed.
The metal was also quite heavy, likely a result of the Force seeping into it.

Color: Unlike normal duranium ore, this ore has a white tone with a faint glow to it, as though all color had been removed from the ore.
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Infusion of Light
- Conducts Electricity
- High melting point
- Infused: Due to the natural infusion of the Force, Hoylin Duranium is actually capable of standing up to a lightsaber, much as an infused blade or armor.
- Force Light: The infusion of pure lightside energy has left Hoylin Duranium as moderately infused with Light itself. In practical terms this means the material is resistant to darkside influences. For instance a helmet made of the material would be somewhat protected against darkside-based mental attacks. A blade or other weapon would also likely have some negative effect against, say, a sithspawn subjected to impacts from said weapon.
- Conducts Electricity: Much like infused materials, outside of a null field the material conducts, stores, and discharges lightning.
- Fire resistant: Duranium has a high melting point, meaning the material even without the force is unlikely to melt without serious effort.
- Nullification: As with most metals infused by the Force, a force nullification field negates the innate features of the ore.
- Only one Infusion: The ore, being infused already, cannot be further infused even by a master of the Force.
- Limited Production: The melting point of the ore makes it difficult to fashion into other items, and limited supply causes a severe restriction of the scale of production. (Unique Subs Only)
- Very Heavy: Items made from this material are going to be quite weighty and slow.
- Radiation: The material, when subjected to radiation, is less resistant than steels of similar grades to radiation.
