Bistate gel

Bistate gel, also known as thermal gel, was a protective gel like substance. Bistate gel was used in the shells of cocoon pods to secure a Mountain Terrain Armored Transport during re-entry. Deployed from dispensors inside the cocoon pod, the bistate gel hardened and absorbed the kinetic energy upon the impact of landing.The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels When deployed, the MT-AT would emerge from the cocoon pod covered in the bistate gel.
