SPECIAL FEATURES
- Durasteel-560B provides a ship with protection from Blasters but more importantly, Kinetic and Physical damage
- Solid as Solid can be: Often stacked layers upon layers of itself making it the sledgehammer of capital ship alloys
- Hard Nut to Crack: Durasteel 560B is resistant to all conventional forms of anti-capital damage, and is resistant to space hazards as well (micrometeors, asteroids, etc.)
- Minimum Size: The protective nature of Durasteel 560B makes it extremely heavy, and that means that it is not feasible to be used on small spacecraft such as light freighters, starfighters, or shuttles.
- Wearing Down: Although it is highly resistant, continuous damage of any sort will wear down its effectiveness.
Scarlett Zann needed an extra durable alloy for an ambitious ship design. The alloy needed to not only to take a hit from incoming blasters and missiles, but blunt physical and kinetic damage as well. Ion, emp, and lightsabers did not matter because by the time these were used against the ship she had in mind, it already be over kill. Basically, this alloy is the standard for her ramming ships.
