cortosis fibersGizmodo
•55% Informative
The Acolyte ’s mysterious dark Stranger struck a lightsaber-resistant material from the Expanded Universe.
The material, cortosis, was first introduced in 1998 novel I, Jedi by Michael Stackpole .
Cortosis fibers had high energy absorption and conduction properties, making the directed energy of a blaster bolt that struck the material dissipate across the fibers with minimal damage.
In the EU and the current canon cortosis is an extremely rare material.
It's difficult to develop into a lightsaber-resistant material at scale.
Cortosis required careful refining as it was also extremely brittle.
Small blades, helmets and gauntlets were the preferred deployment of cortosis.
