Gold was a strategic metal valued by sentient beings. Its value averaged ten to fifteen credits per gram. It was used to form the Hutt currency Peggats used in the Outer Rim Territories. The bodies of the Maelibi seemed to be formed from molten gold. Smokers on Muunilinst contained gold. "Gold" was also the name of the color based on the metal. A Gold Squadron flew in the Battles of Yavin and Endor.
