The star trek and dune ones are questionable, but it stands to reason they would be

MDC... I guarantee at least two of the star wars ones are

MDC Alloys and Metals


Baakonite (star trek) - Baakonite - A strong, reinforced metal used for traditional
Klingon weaponry such as the bat'leth.

Beskar (star wars) - Beskar is also known as Mandalorian iron. It is a very rare metal
that only the Mandalorian armoursmiths know how to shape. It is fairly useless when
mined, but when it is shaped by the secrets of the Mandalorians, it becomes a very hard
metal, capable of absorbing many hits from blasters and even lightsabers. The
Mandalorians make their armour and swords out of it, and in the recent "Legacy of the
Force" series, have made fighters and gunships out of the rare metal.

Bronzium (star wars) - Bronzium is a durable bronze-colored metal used in the Star
Wars universe. It’s most notable use has been in the Trade Federation droideka battle
droids, whose tough layers of bronzium armor supplemented by optional reflective
deflector shielding and twin dual blasters make them formidable enemies. It also appears
as an armor type in KotOR II. Bronzium also is mentioned in the Alec Baldwin 1994
movie, The Shadow, as a metal so rare it is considered mythical -- yet, in that film, a
chemist was able to identify it in his basement lab and knew a considerable amount about
its molecular structure. It is supposedly so unstable that it could be used to make an
atomic bomb.

Duralloy (gamma world)

Duranium (star trek) - As the name suggests, this metal alloy is highly durable and is
used in hull construction.

Durasteel (star wars) - Durasteel is one of the most used alloys in the Star Wars galaxy.
It is a brown, heavy substance, yet very flexible and can resist heat, cold and monumental
physical stress. Because of its properties, it was an important material for the
manufacturing of spacecraft hulls. It was seen in Knights of the Old Republic and
mentioned in the Jedi Apprentice book series as well as casual references throughout
almost all of the books.

Phrik (star wars) - Phrik is a very dense alloy in Star Wars. It is able to resist
lightsabers. General Grievous traveled with his droid bodyguards, a set of IG-100 series
MagnaGuards, who wielded electrified staffs made of phrik. Darth Sidious' lightsaber had
a phrik alloy covering. The dark troopers also had body armor made of the alloy. Phrik is
mined, as portrayed in Star Wars Droidworks. The alloy was also featured as a
component in Dark Trooper manufacture in the game Dark Forces.

Plasteel (dune) - Extremely tough form of steel, "stabilized with stravidium fibers grown
into its crystal structure."
Plasteel (gamma world) - almost as hard as duralloy, but with greater flexibility

Plasteel (w40k)

Pransparisteel (star wars) - Transparisteel is a transparent metal alloy used in Star


Wars. It is used to make windows and viewports on all manner of ground, air and
spacecraft.

MDC Ceramics
Ceramite (w40k)

MDC Concrete
Rockrete (w40k)

Permacrete (star wars) - Permacrete is a substance used to pave roads and walkways. It
is also often used in the construction of buildings. It was developed at least 4000 years
previous to the Battle of Yavin. Like Durasteel, permacrete is implied to be stronger than
its real world equivalent. In KotOR I, the permacrete detonator is an extremely powerful
bomb which the player can use to help a Twi'lek escape a bounty placed on his head by
blowing up his entire apartment to make it look like he was killed.

MDC Glass
Plaz (dune) - Plaz (or windowplaz) – Synthetic glass, used for windows (especially in
aircraft and spaceships) due to its superior strength.

MDC Plastic
Plasteel (star wars) - Plasteel is a durasteel-reinforced plastic substance in Star Wars. It
is mentioned often in Star Wars books and in the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
video game series, in which many items can be found stored in "plasteel cylinders". The
Imperial Stormtroopers' well-known white armor was made of plasteel pressed thin
enough to be worn comfortably, yet still able to provide total protection from melee and
slug weapons. Unfortunately, such thin plasteel cannot completely deflect blaster bolts.
