Internal Structure

Technology Rating#D

Generally, Standard Type Chassis consisted of a Foamed Alluminum Core covered with various composite materiels, wrapped in silicon-carbide fibers, and Clad in Titanium-Alloyed Steel . Standard Internal Structure can be formed on a planets surface without requireing (expensive and vulnerable) orbital facilities.

Endo-Steel

Technology Rating#E

Technology Rating#F

Endomorphic-Steel Chassis are formed in orbital facilities. The Alluminum Core is foamed in Zero-G and is larger than that of Stanndard IS, covered with various composite materiels that are mixed and hardened in zero-G, and Clad in a Titanium-Steel Alloy formed in Zero-G. .
