Description
Ferro-fibrous armor (FF) is a special type of protective covering used by vehicles and BattleMechs. Utilizing a weave of ferro-steel, ferro-titanium, and diamond weave fibers which boosts the tensile strength of the plating,[1][2] it provides more protection per ton than standard armor (12% for Inner Sphere FF, 20% for Clan FF), but takes up more space on the 'Mech or vehicle (14 critical slots for Inner Sphere, 16 for prototype Inner Sphere, and 7 for Clan 'Mechs; two slots for Inner Sphere vehicles (three for prototype IS), one for Clan). The maximum amount of protection is not changed; merely the weight of armor required to achieve that level of protection. For a unit which already has maximum armor protection, it is therefore considered a weight-saving measure, at the cost of critical space. The weight savings for Endo Steel are greater than those saved by ferro-fibrous armor, but it is more costly and obviously more difficult to repair or add as an upgrade to a 'Mech.
First developed by the Terran Hegemony as a prototype in 2557[3] and mass produced in 2571,[1] ferro-fibrous armor was lost to the Inner Sphere during the Succession Wars. The Draconis Combine was the first to recreate it in 3040.[1] Later, the Free Worlds League and Lyran Alliance would develop light and heavy versions of ferro-fibrous armor.[1]
Manufacturing
Standard ferro-fibrous armor is manufactured on the following planets:
