Tibanna gas

A rare gas extracted from the atmospheres of some gas giants, tibanna gas sells for a high price. Tibanna gas is processed and spin sealed in carbonite for transport. When cohesive light passes through tibanna gas, its energy output is multiplied four-fold. In this way, blasters and other energy weapons produce greater energy yields (and therefore greater amounts of damage) when tibanna gas is used as a conducting agent. Personal weapons cannot withstand this extra yield, but ship mounted blasters benefit greatly from the use of tibanna gas.
