SPECIAL FEATURES

• Making use of a combination of denantium and laminanium for its structure, Ethermatter is incredibly adaptable and can shift easily between a liquid-like state to a solid state for use in various applications such as:
  • Can be programmed to morph into different shapes, structures, and other utility applications for construction and production means
  • Can be programmed for weapon applications such as kinetic weaponry, adaptable universal hardpoints, and weapon frames
  • Can be programmed for various starship applications, such as reinforcing hull plating or forming parts of a starship's frame
  • Can be utilized for armor components such as underlays, glove pads, and coatings for armor plates
  • Can be programmed for and utilized to create droids, although it requires other complex components that the nanites can't form on their own
• The use of colium and girondium within the nanites essentially turns each into a nano-scale solar collector, allowing each nanite to power itself. The use of diatium within the nanites also allows them to store the energy they collect for usage in powering itself or other applications they might be called on to do, such as forming a mono-molecular energy chord on a melee weapon or energy field around a shield.

STRENGTHS

• Ethermatter is highly customizable and adaptable, being able to be utilized for a variety of commercial and military applications. The only limitation for the nanites are what Aurora Industries engineers can program the nanites to do, and the inability to form into more complex components.
• The introduction of colium, girondium, and diatium within the nanites allows them to passively collect solar energy for their power supply and to store that energy for any use they, or their user, might require them to do. Ethermatter also makes use of nano-scale circuitry so the nanites can act as bridge between platforms when acting as a hardpoint.
• The combination of denantium and laminanium in their construction allows the nanites to form into the various shapes and simple applications they are used for while still retaining incredible durability from most sources of damage. This combination also allows the nanites to shift from liquid to solid form when a current is passed through them or vice versa.

WEAKNESSES

• While Ethermatter is highly customizable and adaptable, it can't be used to create complex machinery or components on its own. It could only potentially be used as a component for the creation of such a component, such as a casing, but not the component itself.
• Corrosive materials such as acids are extremely potent against Ethermatter, heavily damaging it if not outright destroying it rapidly.
• Because Ethermatter makes use of nanites, it can be influenced by a mechu-deru Force user to lose its cohesion or to even outright disassemble to create issues for its user's such as disconnecting hardpoints, weakening armor integrity, turning a weapon into a liquid state, and etc.

DESCRIPTION

Developed by Aurora Industries within its Alara Nanotechnology Program, Ethermatter is utilized by the company for its various products, both current and future, that require a nanotech component. The origin of the nanite material is within an older Aurora material program that created Chimera Alloy and Mimetic Hydrargyrium, both materials that were used for Aurora infiltration droids, although both materials had been retired by the company for some time. Their replacement, though, had long been in development at the company's facilities in the Styx system and Jen'asha Station as the company progressed in its understanding of nanotechnology.

The nanites are composed initially of a blend of denantium and laminanium to give them ability to shift between a liquid-like state and a solid-like state while also retaining durability in either form. The researchers and engineers at Aurora had also introduced, in nano-scale layers within each individual nanite, a combination of colium and girondium to act as a solar collector for the nanite's energy supply, along with a diatium core to store the collected energy for the nanite's, and subsequently, the user's use. Nanocircuitry within the nanite would allow it to receive programmed commands and stimuli from its user to shift shape into various forms for the multitude of applications the company and the user might require.
