- Metallic element (DS9 Technical Manual)
- One of the hardest known substances to Federation material science
- Well over 20 times harder than diamond
- Harder than tritanium, which is known to be 21.4 times harder than diamond by "Obsession"
- Well over 20 times harder than diamond
- Known to Federation material science by 2161 (TOS: "Balance of Terror")
- Given its usage in the construction of Earth's Romulan Neutral Zone outposts
- Common in construction of permanent installations that require strong defensive design (TOS: "Balance of Terror"; SCE Short Story: "Fatal Error")
- Less common in starship construction due to weight, but occasionally used for particular hull components
- Common approach in Cardassian starship design (DS9: "The Maquis, Part I")
- Occasionally used on a smaller scale for any components requiring extreme durability (DS9 Novel: Fearful Symmetry)
