Gravitum is one of the oddest known metals in the galaxy. Scienists have found Gravitum on planets with gravitational anomalies; from gravity fluxes on the surface to planets were lunar obrits are too close for comfort. It is believed these odd factors give gravitum its unique properties. When left alone, gravitum is pretty unremarkable. It just looks like a dull, hardly lusterious metal at all that is so light it practically floats.
However, the uniqueness of Gravitium occurs when beings come close to them. Anyone who comes directly next to Gravitum will notice that they feel lighter, as well as anything they are holding or touching, or that they pick up. Gravitum uniquely warps the gravity around it, reducing it and making an anti-gravity field. This is enough to reduce standard gravity by half. When a charge is run through the Gravitum, this reduction gets even higher, reaching total weightlessness. The edges of this field gradually gets bigger once zero gravity has been reached around the Gravitum. The edges of the anti-gravity field are weaker than the center. The more Gravitum is present, the less energy is needed to expand this field. This makes Gravitum a valuable tool to explore planets with crushing gravity, or in helping move otherwise all but unmovable cargo in shipping containers. While Gravitum could be used in armor to make it lighter--it would also make the armor incredibly prone to melting, and thus highly susceptible to blaster and lightsaber damage.
All in all, its just a material used to alter gravity.

PRODUCTION INFORMATION
- Name: Gravitum
- Manufacturer: Naturally occurring
- Homeworld (optional): Any planet with gravitational anomalies
- Production: Limited
- Affiliation: Open Market
- Modularity: Not really
- Material: Gravitum
- Classification: Metal
- Weight: Light
- Resistances
- - Blasters low
- Kinetic: high
- Lightsabers: low
- Ion (Positive and negative charges): High - Color: Usually a silver-ish metallic clolor. It oxidizes easily in its natural state so it can be an orange-ish color when it does that.
- Gravity Warping: As part of the enviroments that Gravitum forms in, it has the strange ability to manipulate gravity by producing an anti-gravity field around it. If a charge is run through it, Gravitum's anti-gravity field is increased in both distance and intensity. Uncharged, the anti-gravity field around the Gravitum just makes objects adjacent to it rather light, reducing gravity by about half in standard gravity. When a charge is run through the Gravitum, this field gets wider. The outer perimeters are weaker than closer to the Gravitum itself.
- Light weight: Gravitum is a rather light weight metal, it hardly weighs anything at all because of its antigravity nature. It makes carrying it very easy, it weighs less than nickle or aluminum, two very light weight metals.
- Gravity warping: Gravitum is able to change the gravity around it. Sometimes this is just enough to slightly alter the gravity around the gravitum, other times, its enough to totally alter the local gravity around the metal. Whether it totally overcomes it or not, depends on the level of the charge put through the gravitum and how strong the local gravity is.
- Easy to work with: Working with gravium is pretty easy. Its low melting point means smelting with gravium is hardly a challenge at all to refine or smelt into a shape.
- Low melting point: The low melting point of gravitum makes it really suseptable to blasters and lightsaber damage.

I've made an initial hack at it, I'll tag you again when I get the remainder done.
