- Affiliation: The Sith Order
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: N/A
- Modularity: No
- Production: Semi-Unique
- Material: Iron found on strongly dark-side attuned worlds refined through various metallurgic processes to increase its resonance with the force.
- Classification: Metal
- Weight: Heavy
- Color: Jet-black with star-like shimmering patterns on the surface
- Resistances:
- Energy (And other Blaster type weapons): Low
- Kinetic: Very Low
- Lightsabers: Low
- If used in conjunction with force-focusing architectural techniques and other such methods, it produces a potent magnifying effect.
- This magnifying effect comes as a part of the construction technique and the metal working together to assist and support rituals. This is not a way of producing a force nexus or providing additional power to a ritual. An oversimplistic way of putting it would be that it generally reduces the amount of power required for a given ritual.
- Used in the production of force-focusing structures.
- Conducts and magnifies the force.
- Can be used in the production of vessels similar to meditation spheres.
- Generally fragile and semi-soft.
- Cannot be used as the primary material for equipment.
- Must be sourced from worlds that are attuned to the dark side.
- Cannot be used in the creation of mobile force nexi.
- Vehicles created with this material may only provide benefits as per Sith Meditation Spheres in canon.
Nexus-Infused Star-Iron was initially developed on the planet Korriban through rigiorous testing of metals to find an easily produced material for starship and constructions components with the intention of building structures capable of focusing the force. Many theoretical starting points towards the development of the material were found in the Gates of Graush a dark side Nexus. In particular, the Hall of Shadows contained numerous depictions of sith meditation spheres. Darth Nwul would transcribe many of these concepts and append them with architectural inspirations from the design and structure of Sith Temples.
Nwul and his fellow sith arrived at a theory that it was possible to use metals that were naturally attuned to the force as a form of conduit and use temple focusing principles to amplify force powers at a large scale. They began experimenting on Iron from the surface of the Dark-Side attuned Korriban. Through much work they created various versions of what would eventually become Nexus-Infused Star-Iron. Some of them were significantly tougher and sturdier than others, but the highest conductivity came in the softed variation of the material, a gold-like metal that shone black with shimmering stars across it.
The metal would be woven into wire or applied as decorative coating or even used in specific components rather than as the main building material. Only a small amount of the material needed to be present in order to mimic the amplifying behaviors of dark side structures such as temples and tombs.
This metal would become the backbone of a newly conceptualized sith fleet, and the dawn of the era of force resonant equipment and weaponry.
