PRODUCTION INFORMATION

• 
  Name: NT-1
  
• 
  Manufacturer: Nadirhttp://starwarsrp.net/topic/109903-nadir/
  
• 
  Production: Mass-Produced
  
• 
  Affiliation: Nadir
  
• 
  Modularity: Color
  
• 
  Material: Auxetic graphene gyroid
  

PHYSICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• 
  Classification: Compound
  
• 
  Weight: Extremely lightweight
  
• 
  Quality: 8
  
• 
  Color: Medium-gray, but the color can be changed with ease.
  

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Extremely lightweight
• High fracture toughness
• High tensile strength
• Undetectable by metal detectors and other scanners operating on the same principle

Strengths:

• 
  Extra lite: This material is extremely light.
  
• 
  Stonk: NT-1 can withstand tremendous amounts of force with relative ease and negligible deformation.
  It is also very resistant to fracture, capable of distributing impact force much more efficiently than most materials. Its strength is several orders of magnitude higher compared to durasteel.
  
• 
  Unscannable: Objects made out of NT-1 sneak past metal detectors and similar scanners with ease.
  

Weaknesses:

• 
  Zap: Very conductive. You get hit with lightning holding this, you’re gonna have a very bad day. Sub-dermal burns, tissue necrosis, death… proper insulation isn’t optional.
  
• 
  Heat: While it has a very high melting point, the material is also very heat-conductive, and will thus heat up very quickly.
  This can result in up to third-degree burns for whomever is in contact with NT-1 at the time.
  

DESCRIPTION

As a major hub of illegal goods, it is of great interest to Nadir to devise a way to smuggle the aforementioned goods past customs, checkpoints, and other manner of intrusive, unwelcome scanners.

Enter NT-1, stage left.

Of course, the material still needed to be strong, elsewise it wouldn’t be of much use in the manufacture of things like weapons and armor. Through extensive recruitment of talent, research, and testing, NT-1 emerged as the final result. As with all things, it doesn’t come without its weaknesses – pretty unpleasant ones at that – but nothing is perfect.

Hi [member="Aver Brand"]!

Unscannable: Objects made out of NT-1 sneak past scanners with ease.

Please elaborate as to what type of scanners. I'm not comfortable with submissions including a catch-all resistance such as this that prevent all past and future submissions from countering technology.

Metal detectors and the like would be blind to anything made out of this.
Obviously any weapons made from NT-1 would still ping on a scanner that would look for weapon shapes, but that's not a problem a material can solve.

Basically, any scanners looking for weapon components wouldn't catch this.

Please add something to that degree to the description or someplace else suitable and you'll be good to go.
