The lightest and most flexible of the various metals manufactured by the Colonial Pact; Valadyne is a synthetic metallic alloy with yellow tinted silver color. Its the least dense of the four metals in primary Pact use and is the easiest to work and shape. It has decent characteristics when it comes to resisting thermal forces but will deform under significant kinetic effects. However it tends to plasticize and crater rather then shatter under loads beyond what the metal alone can handle. It is also quite ductile, deforming and stretching rather then simply breaking. 

It is a favorite in civilian applications for everything from casings for various electronics to car and shuttle bodies. Often it is also used in military applications as part of a weight saving measure in composites. 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.
