DESCRIPTION
Polycene is an extremely dense and toxic amorphous hydrostatic gel material first developed by the ancient Unified Gwerin Ecumene for use in their advanced vacuum-sealed bodysuits and is still manufactured and employed in the defense, construction and food storage industries by Gwerin Doeth colonists within the Coruscant Galaxy. Its' usage in a military application is the most widespread where it serves as a protective, insulative and fit-assisting layer in pressurizable vacuum-resistant bodysuits. The material is amorphous capable of hardening and deforming in response to the level of pressure applied within the bodysuit. When the material is subjected to kinetic stresses the pressure increases forcing the layer to harden by remains extremely flexible increasing the time of deceleration and therefore the total force applied to the humanoid wearing a bodysuit equipped with a layer of the material is stretched over a greater time, this allows such a bodysuit and its' wearer to withstand and survive massive amounts of hydrostatic and kinetic force that would normally break bones, herniate organs and rupture circulatory system structures.
Accordingly, it is possible for a wearer wearing a Polycene-equipped bodysuit can survive extremely high falls exceeding several thousand meters without assistance although this would require over-pressurization of the bodysuit which can result in Nitrogen embolisms and extreme pain with the likelihood of a Nitrogen embolism at standard gravity being dependent on the wearer's physiological qualities which varies from species to species appropriately. Polycene is a good thermal conductor and an electrical insulator as such it is an ideal material to be used in the construction industry as thermal insulation of foodstuffs on cold icy worlds to keep the food warm, giving its' low electrical conductivity such structures can be made resistant to power surges through their electrical circuitry. The thermal conductivity can work against a bodysuit when Polycene is used in that application as most species across the galaxy wield plasma-based weapons which derive their effective from high temperatures and radiation, it is possible for a wearer in theory to be boiled alive inside their own Polycene layer-equipped bodysuit if there is no way for the Polycene to be vented from the bodysuit through an exhaust. However, venting the Polycene layer in such an attempt would rob the wearer of its' protective qualities.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

- Gel appearance
- Nano-laminated
- Paramagnetic
- Semi-liquid
- Conductive qualities: It is an excellent conductor of heat but a poor conductor of electricity and therefore is an excellent means of grounding sensitive equipment that needs to be earthed or shielded such as the intricate technologies that could go into a vacuum-sealed bodysuit as worn by an explorer, soldier, pilot or law enforcement officer.
- Density: The density of the Polycene is extraordinarily high running higher than the metallic material lead this makes it an excellent candidate as a radiation shield despite it being a semi-rigid semi-liquid material.
- Hydrostatic qualities: The Polycene exhibits very interesting properties under pressure and this allows it to assume certain mechanical qualities and behaviors such as being able to harden, and then plasticly deform under pressure providing significant cushioning from kinetic impacts commonly caused by slug weapons or high falls and other similar conditions. However the downside of the pressure increasing in proportion to applied kinetic forces is that it can be highly uncomfortable, even painful and reduce mobility. The Polycene can increase or decrease pressure dynamically in accordance with environmental conditions.
- Temperature regulation: When sandwiched into a bodysuit it serves well to conduct the user's body temperature into aforementioned bodysuit keeping them at a comfortable temperature for maximum performance and comfort. For this purpose the material finds itself used in many military applications including in foodstuff storage where the material's density serves as a chemical, biological and radiation shied.
WEAKNESSES:
- Combat trauma: When used in the application of a polycene-equipped bodysuit the material's properties can be compromised if the bodysuit in question has its' structural integrity is breached. For example, sustained or severe trauma to the skinsuit's structure will cause the polycene to leak from its' sealed sandwich layer and a massive pressure drop leaving the Gel unable to harden as the suit would be incapable of pressurizing robbing the Bodysuit of the beneficial properties that polycene would otherwise provide.
- Extreme toxicity: In the unlikely event that Polycene is boiled and evaporates into an aerosol solution it is extremely toxic to all carbon-based organic life, for example the effects from inhaling Polycene in an aerosol solution can include peripheral neuropathy, paresthesia and formication. In short this means inhalation typically causes a burning sensation present through all of the individual's nerve branches and/or the feeling of insects crawling under one's skin as noted in humanoid mammals. Tachycardia is also common and can lead to complications for at-risk individuals including cardiac arrest, increased salivation is also common as is hypertension. Acquired lung toxicity is a common side effect of aerosol inhalation and can be life threatening through Polycene-induced pneumonia. Fortunately its' melting point and boiling point is too high to be used as a chemical weapon. In its' semi-liquid semi-rigid form it is thankfully not as toxic and skin contact and ingestion of small amounts is not harmful in the long-term or life threatening. However ingesting large amounts is extremely toxic.
- Nitrogen embolisms: There is a significant risk of bodysuits equipped with a layer of this material to over-pressurize in response to low or no pressure environments such as the vacuum of space. In a vacuum such as space high pressure is necessary to maintain the molecular structure and integrity of organic wearers however the high pressure is extremely painful to endure and carries very significant risk of nitrogen bubbles forming in a humanoid's circulatory system. These bubbles if they reach the heart for example can result in death and other serious health ailments, the bodysuit's high pressure can also result in poor circulation and poor thoracic expansion reducing oxygen intake. Additionally within the vacuum of space there is a risk the Polycene will freeze and harden potentially leaving its' wearer vulnerable to the risk of developing Hypothermia.
- Thermal conductivity: One downside of the Polycene's thermal conductivity is that the likes of plasma-weapons can induce scorching temperatures to a user being protected by the Polycene hydrostatic gel most notably in the application of a bodysuit for example even on non-penetrating impacts. This also has the added detriment that the Polycene's temperature can continually increase in a protracted battle involving energy weapons to the point where the user could be cooked-alive inside their bodysuit.
- Weight: The molecular weight of Polycene is very high and as a result it is perceived under standard gravity rightly to be extremely heavy in comparison to other material. Bodysuits equipped with this material while protective are extremely heavy and can often weigh approximately 7-14 Kilograms (15-30 lbs.) depending on the size of the wearer which is dramatically greater than many other comparable systems.
