Hull

Silicon carbide fibers in a carbotanium\cortanium matrix. Further support is provided by 2m multiaxis
Duratanium\steel trusses Radiation protection is provided by a 2cm layer of lead infused with rhodinium fibers. Below this
is the nano-carbon tubule layer, consisting of .5cm wide braided fibers of this substance, welded together. The outer
hull is made of alternating layers of allithium(aluminum, lithium, magnesium, zinc high-temp alloy) and nanocrystalline duranium.
