SPECIAL FEATURES
A stealth armor plating for a starship, sure, someone could slap Reflec or Nykkalt and call the job done. Fiolette Raaf is not that person, she developed the Hekate hull plating system from scratch. By first developing the Bykronium alloy, then turning it into Bykronasteel. This would then become the basis for the hull plating system.
This stealth armor, hull plating system is not the be all, end all of the stealth systems. Hardly, what it does do is simple, block sensors. Reflec and Bandorium were used to ensure that sensors would be blocked, some of the more advanced sensor arrays and scanners may still have to trouble it. Others may not, this was more of a could Fiolette create such a thing, a proof of concept.
It would all now be put to the test in the field. No more simulations, and no more number crunching, the Hekate would now see live combat. Using Bykronasteel as the base, Bandorium coated Agrinium, Crystadurium and Dallorian alloy would be next. This is done by simply stacking each metal on top of one another, and using Bandorium as a binding agent. Placed under harsh mechanical stress and pressure to create a thick metal plate.
Taking stacks of Trilamnium from Aurora Industries, the metal was heated until it reached a molten glow where neutronium was added. From there the renewed Trilamnium would be heat treated until it reached Aurora Industries’ standards of battle-ready metal. Next came the reinforced Duraplast which would be latticed with Crystaplast. The secondary hull would be made of Trimantium reinforced Alusteel, finally, two layers or the dual layer of Durasilk Thermafoam would be added as a liner before the hull plating system is installed on a starship, or used as an overlaid hull armor.
The process for creating this hull plating system is both a test of endurance and patience. How the system will do in an actual battle remains to be seen. The Hekate was ordered up for a very specific project from Primo Victorian.

SPECIAL FEATURES
Sensors passive or active will have a hard time getting through this hull plating system between the natural abilities of Bykronasteel and Reflect there is a secondary coating of Bandorium to ensure sensors are unable to penetrate the hull.
Adding to radiation and heat resistance is a layer of Agrinium-Dallorian Alloy with a core of crysadurium in between to give even more of resilience to high heat and pressures.
Neutronium impregnated Trilamnium give the plating system the ability to withstand fierce turbolaser fire. The ultra dispersive characteristics of Neutronium aid in allowing the Trilamnium to hold up to harder hits that can be delivered by some of the more modern turbolaser systems.
Insulating between the primary and secondary hull layers, reinforced duraplast and crystaplast latticed over one another. This is to ensure the system’s resistance against emp/ion damage.
Trimantium reinforced alusteel help give the hull its overall high tensile strength.
A dual layer of Durasilk Thermafoam is the last layer of protection and while they might be a bit jack of all trades. Durasilk Thermafoam is a master of none and may fall to opposing forces’ weapons.
Sensors: An added coating of reflec boosting the system’s ability to block sensors. This is on top of Bykronasteel’s innate ability to block even some of the more advanced sensors. This includes a minor ability to reflect hyperspace frequencies, however; this is not absolute and there may still be advanced enough sensors that can detect the resonant frequencies this does not reflect.
Robust: A multi-layered hull plating system that works in a grooved hexagonal pattern to help withstand the high stress and pressure, of the void, and modern naval warfare. Each layer boasts its own strength and weakness, the idea is that by working in tandem these individual layers can come together to provide a resilient hull plating system.
Corrosion: Like most metals, corrosion is something to be aware of but with the Hekate specifically. It is something to be more aware of especially due to the exposure it experiences in the void. The extreme cold temperatures do have an effect on the plating, even the smallest fissures are the reason for alarm.
Layered: While it boasts a robust system of plates and hull layers, the individual layers each have their own strengths and weaknesses. Together these weaknesses may cancel out, but as the Hekate endures battle there is the chance that these layers could be stripped away. Exposing each one to its own vulnerabilities.
