SPECIAL FEATURES:

• Offering terrific protection against extreme heat, radiation, and electromagnetic pulse and ion damage, the Dante Plating is the ideal external plating for starships, able to withstand incredible elemental and ion punishment with ease making it absolutely critical for those vessels which dare to travel where angels fear to tread.
• Laminanium present in the alloy allows the material to repair small fissures, cracks, and other stresses and breaks to extend and improve its durability.

STRENGTHS:

• Offers protection against extreme heat, radiation, and EMP/Ion threats, able to withstand even the most punishing conditions, at least for a while.
• Self-healing, Dante can afford terrific durability pushing far beyond the limitations of other materials when exposed to such extreme punishment.

WEAKNESSES:

• Providing zero protection against lightsaber-type weapons, sonic weaponry, or Force-based attacks, Dante is a poor choice for combat armors or plating for combat-type starships.
• Despite its awesome protective qualities regarding elemental and radiation-type damage, it is not invulnerable and prolonged exposure to extreme threats of this type will eventually overwhelm the Dante’s ability to continue protection.

DESCRIPTION:

Able to descend into an infernal environment of heat, radiation, electromagnetic pulses and ion damage, and rise once more preserved, Dante is an ideal choice for external hull plating on those ships which are time and again subjected to the rigors of atmospheric entry, close-range exploration of stars and other spatial and astronomical anomalies, ion storms, and similar threats. While it won’t allow a ship to fly into a burning sun, it will let it pass closely and even settle into low-orbit survey for a time. Dante provides terrific protection, but only to a degree, pardon the pun. That threshold is found when exposure times and intensity begins to overwhelm it, causing ships to need to pull back to allow it to ‘heal’ itself, and failure to do so will place the ship – and its crew and contents – at grave risk of being overwhelmed and falling victim to the dangers outside.
