[*]Color: Meridian usually treats it with proprietary methods that gives the hull a rust-like finish.
SPECIAL FEATURES
- N/A
- Durable: The material is very durable against a plethora of damage comparable to Alusteel.
- Versatile: Is mostly used in the construction of Meridian's ships, but can be utilized in other projects as well.
- Heavy: The alloy in its final form is heavier than an average alloy and heavier than Alusteel in particular. This makes it a challenge to use in construction and requires changes to the design process to level out efficiency.
- Exploits: It performs sub-par against handling sonic attacks. A large scale sonic attack has the potential of weakening key structures made with this metal. Acid eats through it relatively easily and a lightsaber cuts through it like a sharp axe through wood.
- Acid: Distinct weakness against acid-based weaponry, these have a high chance of eating through the hull during prolonged contact.
The Teno Alloy is a proprietary alloy created by Meridian Dynamics to be used in its ships and other construction efforts. It is forged and created through the processing of naturally occurring ores on Zygerria. The specific process is a tightly-kept secret only known to a handful individuals within Meridian Dynamics. Its quality allows the corporation to create very durable bulky ships.
Almost every Meridian-made ship is known for its jagged edges, rust-colored finish and ability to get through some of the most sticky situations. (Even if the people on-board meet a less amazing fate while doing the driving). From heavy energy blasts to kinetic impacts and ion attacks, Teno Alloy is very competent at handling them. On the flip-side the Teno Alloy isn't capable of tanking everything.
Meridian wished it was.
From structural damage through intense tremors, vibrations to acid that can eat through the metal if contact persists to lightsabers that can cut straight through it... there are a number of cases that make the alloy less effective than the company would have hoped for.
