Star Army Fabric Spray, Type 38

In YE 38 the Star Army of Yamatai began use of a spray-on fabric for various applications.

The most common container is a spray can resembling a can of spray-paint. It is labeled with the color of the fabric inside. There is also a larger cart-based system with a spray attached by a hose.

Composition and Operation

This spray consists of fibers and polymers in a solvent. When the spray is applied, it lands on the target as a liquid, but the solvent portion quickly evaporates, leaving behind a web of connected fibers that become a mesh fabric. The dry clothing can be removed like a normal article of clothing or cut away with scissors if necessary. It is as strong as regular clothing material (e.g. typical cotton or polyester T-Shirts) and can be washed and reused. Fabric-spray clothing can be recycled by dissolving it back into the solvent.

Once the solvent evaporates, the material left behind is like a cotton-polyester blend material about the thickness of a T-Shirt. It has mild fire resistance and the shirt has the same water absorbency and drying time as typical T-Shirt material. There is also a “wool” version of the spray available.

For external use only.

Use as Clothing

The fabric spray can be applied directly to the skin. The evaporation makes the spray feel cool when it is first applied. Goggles or other eye protection are recommended for maximum safety.

Recently the Star Army has begun using it to cloth prisoners of war. It is unknown what species might be captured or what sizes of clothes they might need, so by using clothes in a can, the Star Army can dress them without having to keep a stock of various sizes and shapes of prisoner uniforms.

Another application is instant creation of winter gloves. A generous application of the spray on the hands will result in perfectly-fitted custom-sized gloves.

You can also use it to put patches in damaged clothing.
