SPECIAL FEATURES

• Melted down and used as a spray, this material reflects many sensor waves.

STRENGTHS

• Renders the painted/armored object practically invisible to sensors using infrared, radio, microwaves, and UV.
• Missiles cannot lock on to the painted object if fully painted/covered.

WEAKNESSES

• The paint can easily be disintegrated in powerful heat.
• Atmosphere entries can rip the paint off the vehicle.
• If the painting isn't perfect and even a square inch of hull is revealed to sensors, the vehicle is no longer "invisible".
• If not melted down, Stealthesium is just a rock.

DESCRIPTION
Stealthesium is usually found on comets or in the cores of glaciers, especially on ice planets. This is found in its solid form, and is absolutely useless. Atop its purposelessness, it is also very fragile. For those who own mining operations and wish to obtain this rock, be very careful unless you want it to crumble into fine powder, which will be harder to collect. However, if Stealthesium is successfully mined, it can be melted down into oozing black goo, which can be painted on vehicles/ starships and render them practically invisible to wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum (except visible light, X-ray, and gamma rays).

Unfortunately, this spray does not guarantee complete invisibility. Subspace scanners and gravitational scanners can still track sprayed vessels, and pilots have no trouble seeing the painted vehicles. On top of this, Stealthesium's fragileness ensures that the spray is easily wiped off during atmospheric entries or powerful heat.
