Which means the Republic is far more scientifically advanced in this case.
Ultimately though, I haven't seen anything that puts Rakatan tech anywhere near as having as much fire power or defensive capabilities as the Empire's. And that is what should matter when talking about "unbreakable" metals.
And once again, just because a vault is supposedly impenetrable does not mean that the Vault's gate is made of an "indestructible" metal.
