- "They're mining the asteroids for dedlanite. Two hundred million kilos of the stuff. What's dedlanite?"
"That's what they use to make blasters."
"That's a lot of blasters." - ―Kazuda Xiono and Poe Dameron uncover a First Order operation
Dedlanite was a mineral used in the manufacture of blasters. It could also power them. It could be found in the Andelm beetle caverns on the planet Andelm IV. During the Galactic Civil War, the crime lord Jaum forced miners to collect dedlanite, which he sold to the Galactic Empire.[2] Years later,[3] the First Order used delanite to make blasters and mined for it in asteroids at Station Theta Black.[1]
