Black Market Beskar
===================

Acquiring new beskar from a questionable source

Date: February 14, 2026


Found a dealer on Tatooine selling &quot;authentic Mandalorian scrap.&quot; Usually
means painted durasteel and lies.

But this... this was real.

Small ingot, maybe two kilos. Pre-Imperial stamp. He wanted ten thousand
credits. I offered five and a threat.

Paid six. Fair price for both of us.

The &lt;a href=&quot;/beskar-grades/&quot; class=&quot;wikilink&quot; data-title=&quot;Beskar Grades&quot; data-description=&quot;Comparing beskar alloys from different eras&quot; data-date=&quot;2026-02-08&quot;&gt;grade&lt;/a&gt; is good. Not perfect, but workable. Can patch the
damaged sections on my left greaves and have enough left for emergency
repairs.

Question is: where did he get it? Real beskar doesn&#39;t just appear. Someone
died for this metal. Someone&#39;s armor was stripped.

I didn&#39;t ask. Sometimes the answers are heavier than the questions.

Will take it to a forge when I find one. Make it part of me. Honor the metal.
Honor the fallen.
