Cadmium

Cadmium was a type of metal.Dark Empire Sourcebook At some point between 0 ABY and 4 ABY,Dark Empire Sourcebook dates Umak Leth's presentation of the molecular furnace design concept to between the Battle of Yavin and the Battle of Endor, which corresponds to between 0 ABY and 4 ABY per The New Essential Chronology. Umak Leth, Chief Engineer to Emperor Palpatine of the Galactic Empire, perfected a design concept of a molecular furnace. The design incorporated intrinsic force negators that would separate matter into its constituent elements, after which those materials would be stored in force bubbles of metals such as cadmium. Palpatine was pleased with the presentation of the concept and ordered Leth to begin work on a weapons platform to be built around the molecular furnace—a project that would ultimately evolve into the World Devastator superweapons.
