OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Aramyne is a heat-resistant and flame retardant plastic-reinforced synthetic fiber developed and manufactured by the League of Sanctified Steel, its' development history started in the aftermath of the Gulag Plague's vicious spread in about 430 ABY after League salvage teams increasingly encountered hostile organisations and bandits wielding slugthrower weapons due to their relative ease of manufacture and upkeep when compared to the ubiquitous blaster. Aramyne was developed of a period of about eighteen years and was first used commercially and militarily by the League of Sanctified Steel in 448 ABY and proved to be extremely effective against the slugthrower weapons it had been designed to defeat. Additionally, Aramyne found use in industrial, commercial and high-performance sporting products among the League's members such was its' material and mechanical properties.
It has good insulation properties and cannot be considered a good candidate for electrical or thermal conductivity, additionally Aramyne features excellent abrasion, cut and slash resistance. Aramyne is extraordinarily resistant to the cold and maintains integrity, grain structure and flexbility even at sub-zero temperatures making it an excellent candidate as a material for use in cryogenic technologies, Among the secrets behind Aramyne's production and development is that the League of Sanctified Steel as they do with so much technology reverse-engineered and improved it from samples of an ancient synthetic fiber documented in a library saved by them during the Gulag Plague. One of Aramyne's many virtues is its' ability to be used to reinforce other composite materials and can be reinforced with carbon-based or glass-based fibers for a variety of applications, the resulting composite is referred to as a "Aramyne-based composite".
- Intent: Create a flexible plastic-reinforced Aramid-based synthetic fibre to be used in military applications such as in the techsuit/bodysuit of League armor ensembles.

- Density: Thanks to its' low density the Aramyne material is typically perceived as being very light when held or worn and it is quite flexible as a result, encouraging its' use in techsuits and lightweight products that can be worn in conjunction with clothing, or rather the material can be used as a clothing itself albeit noticeably heavier than typical fabrics and clothing materials.
- Strength-to-weight: Aramyne possesses an unusually strong ultimate tensile strength-to-weight ratio and by this metric is approximately five times stronger than steel, it can successfully withstand high energy kinetic impacts and deform safely without losing its' molecular integrity and return to its' shape readily. This property along with its lightweight as a Para-aramid synthetic fibre makes it an ideal candidate for protective equipment and even armor. 2-6mm of Aramyne can withstand approximately 1,600-2,078 joules of kinetic energy meaning it could be considered slugthrower resistant.
- Disintegration: The material doesn't undergo the kind of plastic deformation that results in melting, rather when the material receives a significant amount of thermal energy the bonds holding the fibers together unravels and they disintegrate, it's important that the fibers be kept cool and insulated from extreme thermal radiation such as the kind created by energy weapons and some environmental hazards created by geothermal activity lest fibers begins disintegrating.
- Thermal instability: While the material could be considered to resist elemental threats the resistance is not equal on both sides of the thermometer. Aramyne can maintain its' grain and molecular structure in addition to flexibility all the way down to sub-zero temperatures. The same cannot be said for thermal radiation, despite being broadly considered as flame-retardant and heat-resistant Aramyne when exposed to high temperatures of approximately 160 degrees celsius (320 degrees farenheit) it'll lose 10-20% of its' ultimate tensile strength over 500 hours while exposure to 260 degrees celsius (500 degrees celsius) for 70 hours reduces its' tensile strength by 50% as the bonds holding the fibers together unravel. When used as part of armor its' important to create a solution for cooling or else personnel wearing it could find the protective qualities compromised.
- Ionizing Radiation: Though it is sufficiently dense to block alpha and beta particles Aramyne doesn't even come close to the requisite density to shield from powerful gamma energy, meaning that on its' own when used in an armor application it isn't dense enough alone to protect its' wearer from radio-logical threats.
