- "Egarian silk. They just did a refit on all these Longbeams, swapped it in instead of the duralloy line."
"That's good. Egarian's got a higher tensile strength, and it's got the variable elasticity. More electricity you run through it, the more rigid it gets." - ―Joss and Pikka Adren
Egarian silk was a type of silk that became harder the more electricity was run through it. It had high durability and fluctuating elasticity, higher than duralloy, and could stretch to mononuclear level.[1] It originated[2] from the Egaria system in the Outer Rim Territories.[3]

(backup link) (screenshot) Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas and a number of maps in the current Star Wars canon (see a list here), stated his intention to create homeworlds for numerous species based on context implied from their names. Given this principle, this article makes a similar basic assumption for Egarian silk in relation to Egaria system.
