- Lighter weight than standard beskar
- Better temperature resist than standard beskar, including a de-icing effect.
- Beskar: Effective way to stretch out beskar while making it slightly stronger and lighter.
- It's light weight can actually work against it, making is a poor metal to use in melee weapons compared to regular beskar or heavier variants. It also tends to give ranged weapons higher recoil due to the lighter weight.
Ve'vut Beskar is a high-carbon steel alloy that uses less beskar than traditional alloys yet still retains all the same strength of the original, but with a lighter weight and greater temperature resistance. The presence of titanium allows it to be lighter and keep it's strength and hardness, while the aurodium add to the strength of titanium and gives it a de-icing effect. The presence of traditional ciridium acts a good bonding metal for the beskar.
The alloy is an excellent metal to use in armors and ship parts in place of standard beskar or its alloys, though may be unsuitable for melee weapons, due to its light weight having less impact, though this may be less relevant for weapons such as daggers. The lighter weight also equals higher recoil in most ranged weapons, without something to compensate for the reduced weight.
Overall, this alloy is a good choice alloy, especially since it requires a lower percentage of beskar in the alloy, allowing more beskar to be used in other things.
