Monoplate is a material produced by the Iron Company.
Monoplate is a nano-forged(nanomachine assembled) material that was first produced by humans in their home universe called Valhalla. The origin of this technology pre-dates the company's founding in BYE 90 and it still is produced in YE 44.

The only real improvement it has seen is that the original material was machine forged, while currently the material is nanomachine assembled.
Commonly mined materials, both from terrestrial and asteroid sources such as steel, tungsten, nickel, titanium, and iridium is made into a monomolecular material substance, which has been called Monoplate. It can be used at various scales similar to Durandium Alloy and other existing in-universe metals, however, it is expensive for the Iron Company to produce so is not frequently seen. It can also be produced by using Matter-Energy conversion technology where such converters are present and applicable.
It is considered Heavy Armor when applied to Damage Rating (Version 3).
Like any matter-based armor or protection it is more susceptible to damage by antimatter and high energy plasmas such as Aether.
