At all times, the Lazarus Consortium constantly has an overwhelming number of technological projects underway, each intermingling and affecting one another, cross-pollinating to produce new innovations during the development cycle.
Appearing as microscopic flakes of material in structol epidermal laminate, exodermic plates are tiny quasicrystalline components with tiny nuclear-force pegs and hooks which are designed to be linked to form usable equipment inside the laminate - for example absorbing or broadcasting specific electromagnetic waves.
Important is that they're designed to break apart in controlled ways along their edges not unlike a child's construction toy - meaning they can endure massive kinetic and thermal punishment and when a given flake is broken, it can simply be ejected, repaired or swapped out.
Metamaterials are materials which seemingly don't respect the conventional laws of what a material can and cannot do through complex nanoengineering. Almost always, they are constructed atom by atom and often behave more like organisms than solid masses.
Resources to be used in the terraforming of worlds, the Lazarus Terraforming Suite greatly simplifies and reduces costs for those terraforming new worlds.
Modular chambers, designed to be bolted together alongside specific systems and laminated in hull to produce a large structure, such as a starship or starbase.
Structures are typically stationary buildings which can be constructed to serve specific purposes. They are often either automated or self-dependent.
