Quantum-crystalline armor is unique armor equipped to the Sun Crusher. It made the Sun Crusher nearly indestructible. Examples of how strong it is include that the Sun Crusher once rammed right through the bridge of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer without taking any damage, and it also managed to survive for extended periods inside both the gas giant Yavin and even the supernova caused by the explosion of the planet Carida's sun.
