Starmetal

Metals and alloys of unknown composition, the term "Starmetal" refers to several related compounds used in the crafting of Starships. The unique properties and the method of creating these metals is not understood, except perhaps by the Technic League, but methods do exist for reshaping the bits and pieces of scavenged Starmetal into usable shapes. This makes scavenging for even the smallest pieces of Starmetal a thriving and lucrative industry in Numeria. In particular, the town of Torch has made this their central industry, and most Numerians know that even a useless lump of Starmetal can be unloaded at Torch for a price that makes the dangerous trip worthwhile.

Starmetals do vary, but the most commonly seen alloy is far stronger than steel, and in fact it rivals adamantium for hardness. Starmetal cannot be heated with a standard forge, and even magical fire has difficulty rendering it malleable enough to be shaped.
