Lithium Magna was a synthetic compound sold illegally; when mixed with the chemical catalyst Lucogen, it created a two-part explosive. In 19 ABY, at a feast held in the penthouse of the Hutt crime lord Popara Anjiliac on Nar Shaddaa, Popara's offspring, Mika, plotted to assassinate his parent. To achieve this, Mika ensured Popara consumed wine subtly infused with Lithium Magna. Following this, Popara consumed several worms treated with Lucogen. The combination of Lithium Magna and Lucogen resulted in Popara's explosive demise.
