#126: Unbihexium, also known as Durasteel. 

Melting point: 3901 C Boiling point: 8412 C Density: 16.63 G/cm^3 Symbol: Du A metalloid with 3x the strength of steel, a slightly higher melting point then tungsten, and durable enough to be used in bladed weapons and armor. gray with a hint of blue

#127: Unbiseptinium, Also known as Aegisalt

Melting point: 1653 C Boiling point: 1930 C Density: 7.8 G/cm^3 Symbol: Ai A light green metal that forms giant cubic crystals. It has a very high electrical conductivity, which makes it great for energy weapons, tools, and machinery. It’s not very sturdy though, so it makes a poor armor without a reinforcement.

#128: Unbioctinium, also known as Violium

Melting point: 1830 C Boiling point: 2233 C Density: 4.214 G/cm^3 Symbol: Vo A purple metal, able to withstand extreme forces when honed down to a blade. it can get as sharp as obsidian, if not sharper. It’s an excellent metal for swords and armor, and has a high thermal conductivity. don’t wear it on a hot day.

#129: Unbiennium, also known as Ferozium

Melting point: 2874 C Boiling point: 10341 C Density: 13.632 G/cm^3 Symbol: Fz A bright blue crystalline metal. It’s very brittle, but has a low thermal conductivity. It’s been known that, imbued with another element, it conducts an extreme amount of electricity. otherwise, it’s a terrible conductor.

#130: Untrinilium, also known as Solarium

Melting point: 500 C Boiling point: 3012 C Density: 7.77 G/cm^3 Symbol: So A bright yellow mineral. it’s a radioactive metal when natural, but can alloy with other elements and Durasteel to make tough, almost supernatural alloys. It has a half-life of 2.75 billion years, and decays into Ferozium-366

Alloy 1: Rubium (Fz2So3Du)

Melting point: Unknown Boiling point: unknown Density: 1.3 g/cm^ A crimson red alloy of Ferozium, Solarium and Durasteel. Rubium has an extremely high thermal conductivity, acts as a superconductor, and is as strong as Violium. It is best used for high-end staff weapons. Because of it’s thermal conductivity, it is extremely hard to get a good temperature reading on it.

Alloy 2: Cerulium (AiSo2Du3)

Melting point: 4092 C Boiling point: Unknown, beyond 12500 C Density: 5.42 G/cm^3 A deep blue alloy of Aegisalt, Solarium, and Durasteel, Cerulium is unique in that it can store a lot of energy, and thus, used as a high-capacity capacitor. it’s a soft crystal otherwise.

Alloy 3: Impervium (Vo3So3Du2)

Melting point: 2501 C Boiling point: 4123 C Density: 35.52 G/cm^c

A dark grey alloy of Violium, Solarium, and Durasteel, Impervium is an extremely heavy alloy, and has an extreme resistance to damage. blades like this can cut through cells due to how sharp it can get. It’s rarely used as an armor due to how heavy it can get. Doesn’t absorb heat very well, and is an excellent insulator for electricity as well.

A Ferozium theory from a Tinkerer

This stuff is fascinating if nothing else...

Ferozium... the element of Frozen Stars.

I am confused and curious about the fabrication and logic behind this ore. It is so Kluex-given cold to the touch that it is nothing short of dangerous! The material doesn’t conduct a single vibration, or hold a single candle of light. Nothing. It seems to be completely reflective, but primarily of cold colors. The absorbed spectrum of warm colors are completely nonexistent!

It seems to be close, if not at, the 0 Kelvin heat level!

Closer examination is difficult, as it fogs up the air around it, and tends to gather ice along its surface if not examined in a moisture-low environment.

However, using it as armor has proven to provide more than a fair share of protection!

I don’t understand it at the moment, but its molecules seem to be more than capable of remaining closely-knit throughout the duration of use. When treated and refined, the icing effect from the ore seems to dissipate.

Though, the Hylotl seem to be able to refine and process this material into armor that is folded and layered to provide slim and durable protection.

The Avians I’ve seen have used it more for strategic effect and aesthetic use. 

Do I agree with using such a valuable material in such a wasteful sense? Not in the slightest. However, I haven’t yet seen how other cultures refine this armor, but SAIL has informed me of a few common blueprints regarding the offensive usage of this material in the form of a Wand and a Staff.

These seem to be a typical design, however, and I fear there may be much left to be desired in terms of effectiveness and efficiency.

A conversation with a friend of a friend has yielded interesting results though, since she claims the Staff has the usage of a Blade Barrage and a Force Cage, not seen prior in other SAIL-given blueprints. The wiring still leaves much to be desired, but my skill is in metals, not electric components.

The wand of course does not carry the same function as the Staff, but the Plasma Barrage carries my curiosity every bit as much as the Staff.

By filtering light and energy through the compacted crystals, there is a much greater output of raw energy that seems close to filtering sunlight through a magnifying glass. 

However, these projectiles are limited and cannot be guided much more than the initial sendoff. More information upon further study of the specifics of the usage. I guess I’ll have to get my hands on some more Ferozium... Maruma didn’t have much to begin with.
