A very common metal used in practically everything from structures to main battle tanks, it is a blueish silver metallic alloy consisting of a nano-manipulated and specially formulated alloys of steel. With decent performance against kinetic, thermal, and sheer stresses it is a favorite for various applications; these being structures, frame work, and as the hulls and internal supports of various large pieces of machinery and moving equipment. 

While not as hard or dense as [[materials:cerrosteel]] it is far more flexible and will bend before breaking compared to the high performance ceramic. However it is no polymer and with the appropriate amount of force will bend and break. It is widely manufactured throughout the Colonial Pact in both small and industrial scale amounts with the singular copyright on the material having expired centuries ago.
