Long Description	Duranthium is a new type of armor that is made up of all kinds of composite metals and non-metals to form a material that is neither brittle nor particularly giving. Duranthium absorbs much of the kinetic energy from mass-drivers which vastly decreases the amount of damage that a given mass driver can do.
