A tough silver colored metallic material with a greenish hue, Ensteel like most Colonial Pact materials is a nano-manipulated and forged metal with very specific molecular compositions and arrangements. It is difficult to work after it has been cast into a solid form and the process of shaping it into useful items is time consuming and very expensive. However it is among the lightest of Pact materials and effectively the strongest in its class. Very resistant to thermal and kinetic stresses and even beyond its normal limitations it heavily resists deformation or shattering. Even when reaching the point of deformation rather then outright failure it tends to act like a plastic rather then fail completely.

With these characteristics it is often used in high areas of stress on structures and starships. 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.
