Manufacturing

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).

Weaknesses

Like any matter-based armor or protection it is more susceptible to damage by antimatter and high energy plasmas such as Aether.
