Yavian putty factory

Yavian putty factories (also Putty Squishers in Yavian slang) were structures built on the planet Yavia by Yavian warlords. Their purpose was to produce Yavian putty from silicates and metal oxides (which were obtained from the ground). Some putty factories penetrated the ground near rivers and swamps and extracted the raw materials from the ever shifting sands. Others had to have the raw materials delivered to them.

Putty factories worked by mixing the ingredients together under intense electrical current, heat and pressure (the origin of the slang putty squisher).

The result was refined putty that could be used to mold DNA, to create weapons and explosives and to perform putty rage.

Putty factories were occasionally to be found on other worlds, but the most common use of putty outside of Yavia, the putty rage, was illegal on most worlds.
