- "All personnel are required to support Imperial resource teams engaged in hyperbaride mining operations. Never forget that their work is why we're on this mudball."
- ―A 224th Imperial Armored Division situation report
Hyperbarides were a type of mineral found on the Circarpous sector planet of Mimban, making it a target of interest to the Galactic Empire due to mining interests. Hyperbarides were mined there through dangerous energy mining techniques,[1] and such operations were supported militarily by the 224th Imperial Armored Division.[2] Highly valuable, hyperbarides were among the substances recommended as profitable cargoes to fellow smugglers by Platt Okeefe in the pirate Maz Kanata's Smuggler's Guide, along with meleenium and durelium.[3]
Behind the scenes
Hyperbarides were first mentioned in the 2018 canon reference book Solo: A Star Wars Story The Official Guide, written by Pablo Hidalgo.[1]
