Violium is a unique, semi-transparent material known for its extreme hardness and strength. Forged under stringent conditions in high-temperature foundries using custom-tooled equipment, Violium is subjected to the highest level of quality control to ensure its superior properties. Its most prevalent applications are in the construction of advanced armors and combat vessels, offering unparalleled protection against ballistics and lasers due to its capacity to reflect certain light wavelengths. However, it's worth noting that plasma can still penetrate through Violium with ease.
One of Violium's defining characteristics is its glass-like tendency to crack under stress. Repeated impacts weaken the material's structural integrity, eventually causing it to shatter and fragment. Due to its specialized forging process, Violium is only available in thick, pre-formed sheets that require custom tooling to fit specific contours and frames.
Given its glass-like qualities and considerable weight, it's challenging to shape Violium into complex forms. As a result, the most common use in personal armor involves the integration of simple Violium plates into a kevlar or fabric vest. Beyond armor, Violium has found applications in visor glass and other light-shielding uses. It has a melting point of approximately 2000 degrees Fahrenheit.
