"A collection of base elements, predominantly carbon, is combined within an autofoundry. Alter the recipe, alter the results, but it's all Hexaplast."
- Globex Manufacturing Guidelines, Section 3-B "Standard Materials"
- Intent: Provide the Open Market with an extraordinarily versatile material while furthering the glory of the hexagon.

- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Source: Plastic (Wookie) | Tridurium | Carbon-Durasteel
- Manufacturer: The Globex Corporation
- Affiliation: Freely Available Design*
- Assuming the fees are paid.
- Market Status: Open-Market
- Model: Hexaplast / Hexalloy
- Modularity: Extraordinary.
- Can be light enough to be incorporated into clothing or heavy enough for effective armour, can be opaque or transparent, can hold firm or be bendable, can be impressively resilient (by civilian standards) or be used in easily tearable packaging, can be produced so as to be biodegradable in several different ways that take varying amounts of time, etc. The only thing it can't do is be extraordinary.
- Production: Mass-Produced
- Material: Carbon and various synthetic compounds, exact makeup varies from type to type.
- Hexalloy incorporates Lommite and has a denser structure with more carbon nanotubes.
- Classification: Multipurpose Synthetic Compound
- Weight: Very Light (Hexaplast) | Average (Hexalloy)
- Colour: Variable, variant-dependent, highly customisable.
- Resistances: Variable; the below describes high-resilience variants.
- Energy Weapons: Average (Hexaplast) | High (Hexalloy)
- Kinetic Weapons: Average (Hexaplast) | High (Hexalloy)
- Environmental: Very High
- Lightsabers: Very Low
- EMP/Ion: High
- Exotic: None
- Hexaplast/Hexalloy is a fantastically versatile material composed primarily of hexagonal carbon structures comparable to graphite (Wookie) and a selection of synthetic compounds depending on the intended properties of the material. Hexalloy's higher density and the inclusion of lommite leads to a notably higher average weight. With the right machinery, hexaplast/hexalloy can be produced for everything from food packaging to the hulls of starfighters; some variants are modified for transparency, high conductivity, and much much more.
- The following is a non-exhaustive list of potential uses: Housing, clothing, pipes, solar panels, weapons, armour, cybernetics, screens and panels (touch or otherwise), electronics, toys, gadgets, furniture, windows, and even deep-sea habitats (hexalloy recommended).
- Hexagons are the Bestagons: Lightweight, reasonably resilient, and exceedingly versatile, hexaplast/hexalloy can be used in everything from prefabricated emergency shelters to armour, droids, and even starfighters. It can be made transparent and is easily recoloured.
- (Almost) Cheaper Than Dirt: Most variants of hexaplast/hexalloy are impressively cheap. Quantity has a quality all of its own.
- Technological Resilience: Hexaplast offers a high degree of protection from effects that might threaten sensitive electronics.
- Jack-of-All-Trades: While versatile, hexalloy makes worse armour than duranium, hexaplast worse clothing than gildenweave, etc.
- Exotic Weapons: Even military-grade variants should not be expected to withstand lightsabers, disruptors, space magic, etc.
Named after the complex hexagonal panels and lattices in which it is typically arranged when the goal is maximised tensile strength, hexaplast was developed as an alternative to tridurium and conventional plastics alike, its numerous variants filling countless niches within Globex's manufacturing and supply chains, from everyday gadgets and tools for consumers to resilient military hardware and even starships/structures.
While it can be made quite resilient, hexaplast is extraordinary only in its versatility - for that reason, it is usually alloyed with other, rarer materials to create heavy-duty composites suited for combat. Globex often uses Titanium-Hexalloy for starfighters and Doonium-Hexalloy for capital ships.
