SPECIAL FEATURES
STRENGTHS
- Top of the line resistance against ionizing radiation.
- Strengthens in durability with higher radiation levels.
- Absorbs radiation, dissipating extremely quickly (days/weeks.)

- Very little durability when liquid.
DESCRIPTION
Radiation Shielding
Though most of the known galaxy depends on ray shielding or lead based solutions for protecting against lethal ionizing radiation, Zori Kapshan opted for a more elegant response. Introducing a new liquid metal countermeasure that could be utilized to mold and defend against radiation on any variety of contraptions, including but not limited to hypermatter reactors on starships, Zori focused his efforts on a new and improved alloy that could be implemented in his plans for protecting against the ever harmful rays of the known Galaxy - specifically, gamma radiation. As the radiation is absorbed, to which a maximum amount of radiation was not detected during his trials, the metal was found to become more durable. Though mathematically proven to eventually have an upper limit and not matching the durability of that of the most extreme metals found in the Galaxy, Zori found that the protections provided by this metal were quite impressive given the upper echelon of radiation it could be provided in a single burst.
Liquidity
The alloy is naturally found in its liquid state at room temperature, and must be cared for and stored as such. Though not brittle, the liquid metal offers very little protection that other liquids - such as water - would not provided, though perhaps more viscous and dense together due to the trace amounts of neuranium involved in the mixture. Unlikely denantium, however, it cannot be molded once it has hardened. Once it has hardened, it retains it's shape until all radioactivity has left it's absorption and dissipated fully.
