Armour

Armour is a vital component of any space vehicle, even a civilian one, armour in the Expanse comes in a variety of styles and materials, ranging from simple composite to the exotic, self repairing materials used in military vessels. Despite this, armour is still basically they same as it always has been, hard material you put between vital systems and hostile fire.

Advanced armour is usually used by combat vessels, and includes self repair abilities, a thermal super conductor grid, and the ability to move plates to reinforce areas who's structural integrity is threatened.

Composite Armour Simple armour made from a composite of alloy and ceramic, usually used only on light civilian space craft.

Hyper Diamond Armour Made from altered carbon,hyper diamond is as strong as normal diamond and far less brittle, giving it extensive resistance to impact and energy strikes.

Exotic Armour Used exclusively by military craft, exotic armour is incredibly strong and reflective, and has a molecular structure which hardens its self against impacts, providing excellent protection at minimal weight.
