- Due to the use of Graphite in the compound, the material retains some surprising characteristics not usually found among most common metals. The material does not exude a magnetic field unless exposed to a magnetic field. In which it will generate and align it's newly generated magnetic field with the introduced magnetic presence.
+ Face Hardened + Fresh off of the mill, the material is face hardened and is difficult to damage using physical force.
+ Conductive + While the material is conductive due to the alum and graphite present inside. It is resilient to foreign ionic and emp signatures after being tied into a framework with proper grounding and forms a rudimentary faraday cage when properly applied.
+ Mildly Radiation Resistant + Another boon of the graphite present in the blend. While not as reliably resistant as dedicated shielding or materials, it is capable of withstanding quick ventures through mildly radioactive systems or areas without lingering issues.
+ Energy/Plasmatic + Using graphite in the compound alongside reliable grounding procedures during construction gives the material better chances against standard energy based weapons to dissipate the energies along the dense cellular structures. The floating electron within the graphite structure inside the compound allows the foreign energy to be drawn across the surface of the material rather than concentrating it's destructive power to a focal point.
- Thicc - The dense blend of materials offer above average protections at the cost of being quite cumbersome. Not advised for anyone hoping for a nimble mode of transportation in atmosphere as the power required to push any substantial mass of this material would be outside the range of a speed based starfighter.
- Brittle - The face hardening of the material during casting or application is a boon against kinetic and other physical attacks until the material is damaged. While the core of the material might be flexible, the shrapnel that permeates the hull or diffuses across the front is a life threatening caveat.
- Improperly Caged - If the material is not properly grounded to the framework of whatever is being plated or built upon, the first foreign ionic charge will fry everything in contact with the plating with devastating effect. The material is very conductive and improper or damaged grounding will result in more than electronics being scorched.
- Disrupted - While the material is dense and offers adequate protections against most commons forms of weapons, without any dedicated auxiliary systems the material offers little in the way of protection against the dangers of disruptor fire.
- Spicy Glowsticks - The process of making a highly dense material came with a surprising twist given the conductive nature of the material. While the density of the material will make the process of cutting through a chore, the material itself will readily take to a lightsaber and the more lightsabers heating up the material, the more readily it will give.
After finishing the facility on Queyta, the process of refining materials for future production began to circulate in Niki's mind. Her staple of using blended materials prompting her to throw potential new materials into the foundries to do list. Extensive testing of materials and by-products garnered a material she found to be rather suitable for the open market. While exhibiting above average resistances to most common weapons, the material she signed off on was of decent enough standard in her mind, and passed with enough positive marks to facilitate free trade of the material.
