Violium is a semi-transparent, heavy-duty material typically used with supreme hardness and strength in mind. It is forged in extremely high-temperature foundries with expensive custom-tooled equipment to ensure the highest level of quality control possible. It is most commonly used in advanced armors and combat vessels for superior ballistics and laser protection, due to its ability to reflect certain light wavelengths. Plasma, however, will still go straight through it. It has a glass-like property of cracking under stress. Through repeated impacts, the material’s strength is lost as its structural integrity is compromised in the form of cracks, until it shatters and fragments.
It only comes available in thick, pre-formed sheets that must be custom tooled to fit contours and frames. Due to its ballistic-glass like qualities, it is very heavy and cannot be easily shaped - thus making the most common personal armor utilization being simple violium plates in a kevlar/fabric vest. Other uses Violium has seen include visor glass, among many more light-shielding applications. Violium has a melting point of around 2000 degrees Fahrenheit
WEIGHT: 0.40 lbs per cubic inch.
