Fio'tak
Fio'tak is a hard, ultra-dense, nano-crystalline metal alloy developed by the Earth Caste of the T'au Empire for a variety of applications. Fio'tak is most commonly utilised as the primary constituent of vehicle, aircraft and infantry armour plating.
Fio'tak is very resilient to penetration by kinetic strikes or directed energy due to its impact-resistant structure. This material is highly resistant to corrosion by various toxins and other environmental influences and is more lightweight than conventional Imperial materials which serve a similar structural function such as plasteel.
When it comes to damage deflection and mitigation, Fio'tak is comparable to the ceramite used in Space Marine power armour, but weighs substantially less on a per unit basis.
Fio'tak alloy variants are used by the T'au in a variety of applications, including in infantry armour such as Combat Armour and Recon Armour, T'au skimmer and aircraft vehicle armour, T'au Drones, T'au structures, and the armour of T'au Battlesuits.
